The Ultrasonic System Research Institute is applying measurement, analysis, and evaluation techniques related to the propagation state of ultrasound to publish technology that relaxes the surface residual stress of ultrasonic transducers using ultrasound and fine bubbles. This technology for relaxing surface residual stress has made it possible to improve fatigue strength against metal fatigue. As a result, the effects on various components, including ultrasonic tanks, have been demonstrated.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a completely new dynamic control technology for ultrasound by utilizing multiple function generators. This technology enables the control of nonlinear ultrasonic phenomena through oscillation with several different waveforms (sweeping). Note: Nonlinear (resonance) phenomena By generating harmonics of the 10th order or higher through original oscillation control and resonating with low-frequency vibration phenomena, the generation of high-amplitude harmonics has been achieved, resulting in nonlinear (resonance) phenomena of ultrasonic vibrations. By optimizing the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of various components according to their intended purpose, efficient ultrasonic oscillation control becomes possible. Through the measurement and analysis of sound pressure data from ultrasonic testers, this system technology dynamically controls the changes in surface elastic waves according to the intended application.
