Recent researches have reported that the superposition of ultrasonic vibrations in metal forming provides beneficial effects such as the reduction of forming load, flow stress and interfacial friction which improves the surface quality of end products. This paper presents experimental investigations on the effects of ultrasonic vibrations in upsetting tests of aluminum. The ultrasonic exciting system consists of piezoelectric transducer and resonator was designed and constructed to superimpose high frequency oscillation on the forming tools. Ultrasonic vibration-assisted upsetting tests were performed for three vibration modes five amplitudes, and the results were compared with those of conventional upsetting tests. The results showed that the superimposition of ultrasonic vibration reduces the upsetting load, and the load reduction is only dependent on the amplitude of the applied vibration regardless of deformation histories and vibration modes.

Both ultrasonic velocity at 3 MHz and absorption coefficient for the frequency range of 0.2-2 MHz were measured in an aqueous solution of polyacrylamide for the concentration range of 0.5% to 2.5% by weight. Pulse echo overlap method was taken for measuring the ultrasonic velocity over the temperature range of 10-90℃ and the high-Q ultrasonic resonator method was used for the absorption coefficient at 30℃. The velocity exhibited a maximum value at approximately 70℃, 71℃, 72℃, 73℃ and 74℃ in 2.5%, 2.0%, 1.5%, 1.0%, and 0.5% solutions, respectively. The velocity increased with the concentration at a given temperature. The ultrasonic absorption (a/f²) at a given temperature increased linearly with the concentration for the concentration below 1.5%, but suddenly increased for the concentration above 1.5% concentration. The value of a/f² at 1MHz was entirely due to the classical Stoke's viscous effect. The ultrasonic relaxation in polyacrylamide aqueous solutions, which may be the result of structural fluctuations of polymer molecules such as the segmental motion of the polymer chains, was observed, and at 2.5%, the value of a/f² was found to suddenly increase as frequency decreased.

Ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) is an example of a nanoscale-surface modification that has become noticeable because of its effects on the mechanical improvement of metallic materials. UNSM equipment needs to be both utilized and improved. The equipment is based on an ultrasonic waveguide whose role is to strike surfaces of metallic materials to achieve nanoscale deformation. In this paper, we introduce the development of one kind of UNSM equipment. Using piezoelectric elements, we repeatedly design and fabricate a 20-kHz ultrasonic waveguide. With respect to the composition of the equipment, the waveguide is automatically transferred by two axial stages automatically. In addition, a static force is constantly applied by pneumatic devices. We perform an experiment to verify the feasibility of the equipment.

The current study presents experimental and numerical results on the effect of ultrasonic vibrations on a cylindrical cup drawing of a cold rolled steel sheet(SPCC). An experimental apparatus, which can superimpose high frequency oscillations during deep drawing, was constructed by installing on the tooling ultrasonic vibration generators consisting of a piezoelectric transducer and a resonator. Conventional and vibration-assisted cylindrical deep drawing tests were conducted for various drawing ratios, and the limiting drawing ratios(LDR) for both methods were compared. To evaluate quantitatively the contribution from the ultrasonic vibrations to the reduction of friction between tools and material finite element analyses were conducted. Through a series of parametric analyses, the friction coefficients, which minimized the differences of punch load data between the experiments and simulations, were determined. The results show that the application of ultrasonic vibration effectively improves the LDR by reducing the friction between the tools and the material.

Ultrasonic absorption and velocity spectra in bovine serum albumin (BSA) aqueous solutions have been measured at $20^{\circ}C$ over the frequency range 0.2-3 MHz in the pH range 1.5-13.2. The high-Q ultrasonic resonator and pulse-echo overlap methods were used. At acid pH's, excess absorption over that of pH 7 was explained by double relaxation. The pH dependences of the relaxation frequency and maximum absorption per wavelength, showed that the relaxation at about 200 kHz was related to the expansion of molecules and that about 3 MHz resulted from the proton transfer reaction of carboxyl group. At alkaline pH's, the excess absorption was explained by double relaxation. The relaxation at about 300 kHz was associated with a helix-coil transition, and that about 3 MHz was attributed to the proton transfer reaction of phenolic group. The rate constants and volume changes associated with these processes were estimated.

In this study, an ultrasonic transducer is fabricated with a 1-3 type composite resonator. Pulse-echo responses of an ultrasonic transducer are investigated in underwater with the designated water-levels. LED output signals of a level limit switch with changing a water level are obtained by using the currently developed self-made 1-3 type composite transducer and electric measuring unit. LED is turned on at above the up-limit level with increasing a water level, and LED is turned on at less than the down-limit level with decreasing a water level.

Both the ultrasonic velocity at 3 MHz and the absorption coefficient in the frequency range from 0.2 to 2 MHz were measured for aqueous solutions of poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) over the concentration range from 5 to $25\%$ (by weight). The pulse echo overlap method was employed to measure the ultrasonic velocity over the temperature range from 10 to $90^{\circ}C;$ the high-Q ultrasonic resonator method was used for the measurement of the absorption coefficient at $20^{\circ}C.$ The velocities exhibited their maximum values at ca. 55, 59, 63, 67, and $71^{\circ}C.$ for the 25, 20, 15, 10, and $5\%$ solutions, respectively. The velocity increased with respect to the poly(sodium 4-styrene-sulfonate) concentration at a given temperature. A study of the concentration dependence of the both the relaxation frequency and amplitude indicated that the relaxation at ca. 200 kHz is related to structural fluctuations of the polymer molecules, such as the segmental motions of the polymer chains and that the relaxation at ca. 1 MHz resulted from the proton transfer reactions of the oxygen sites of $SO_3.$ Both the absorption and the shear viscosity increase upon increasing the polymer concentration, but they decrease upon increasing the temperature.

Low-temperature plasma (LTP) ionization is one of the ambient ionization methods typically used in mass spectrometry (MS) for fast screening of chemicals with minimal or no sample preparation. In spite of various advantages of LTP ionization method, including simple instrumentation and in-situ analysis, more general applications of the method are limited due to poor desorption of analytes with low volatilities and low ionization efficiencies in the negative ion mode. In order to overcome these limitations, an ultrasonic vibrator of a commercial hand-held humidifier was interfaced with an LTP ionization source, which generated microdroplets from sample solutions and assisted with LTP ionization. Ionization behaviors of various chemicals in microdroplet-assisted LTP (MA LTP) were tested and compared with typical LTP ionization from dried samples applied on a surface. MA LTP efficiently ionized small organic, amino, and fatty acids with low volatilities and high polarities, which were hardly ionized using the standard LTP method. Facile interaction of LTP with ultrafine droplets generated by ultrasonic resonator allows efficient ionization of relatively non-volatile and polar analytes both in the positive and negative ion modes.

단백질 수용액 중의 초음파흡수 mechanism을 규명하기 위하여 pH 7의 소혈청 albumin(BSA)수용액의 초음파흡수 측정을 주파수 100 kHz에서 1600 MHz에 걸쳐 행하였다. 측정방법은 plano-concave 공명법(0.1${\sim}$10 MHz)과 고분해능 Bragg 반사법(120${\sim}$1600 MHz)을 사용하였다. pH7에서의 초음파흡수스펙트럼은 Davidson-Cole 분포식의 거울상인 분포함수를 사용한 완화곡선과 일치하였다. 이 완화현상을 BSA 분자의 수화평행에 의한 것으로 해석하였다.

Methyl과 ethyl formate의 초음파 흡수계수를 0.15-2 MHz의 주파수 범위, 온도 5-3$0^{\circ}C$에 걸쳐 1MHz 이하에서 정확한 초음파 흡수측정이 가능한 광 회절 초음파 공명법을 이용하여 측정하였다.그 결과, cisdhk trans 에 의한 초음파 완화 현상은 전형적인 단일 완화현상을 보였고, 그 스페트럼으로부터 완화주파수와 완화강도를 결정할 수 있었다. 완화 주파수와 완화강도의 온도 의존성으로부터 활성화 에너지(ΔH#)와 에너지 차(ΔH)를 구하였다. 측정된 methyl과 ethyl formate의 활성화 에너지는 각각 9.8과 8.9kcal/mol 이었고, 에너지 차는 각각 2.3 과 2.2kcal/mol로 나타났다
