In this study, we investigated the design of a wire wedge bonding ultrasonic tool horn using finite element method (FEM) simulations. The proposed method is based on an initial design estimate obtained by FEM analysis. An ultrasonic excitation causes various vibrations of a transducer horn and capillary. A simulated ultrasonic transducer horn and resonator are then built and characterized experimentally using a laser interferometer and electrical impedance analyzer. The vibration characteristics and resonance frequencies close to the exciting frequency are identified using ANSYS. FEM analysis is developed to predict the resonance frequency of the ultrasonic horn and use it in the optimal design of an ultrasonic horn mode shape.

Friction Welds are formed by the mechanisms of diffusion as well as mechanical inter-locking. The severe plastic flow at the interface by the forge action of the process brings the subsurface so close together that detection of any unbounded area becomes very difficult. No reliable method is available so fat to determine the weld quality nondestructively. The paper presents an attempt to determine weld strength quantitatively using the ultrasonic pulseecho method. The new approach calculates the coefficient of reflection based on measured amplitudes of the echoes. This coefficient provides a single quantitative measurement which involves both acoustic energy reflected at the welded interface as well as transmitted across the interface. As a result, it was known that the quantitative relationship between the coefficient and the weld strength (torsional strength) could be drawn.

The major limitation of MOM solution has alaways been the computer CPU time and storage size, needed to carry out the impedance matrix computation. A new formulation technique using Sorce Superimposion method is presented in order to cut down computerstorage requirements and CPU time based on the equivalence principle and induction theorem. The numerical results are shown to give good agreement to those calculated by the conventional method and also application example is presented.

In this study, the interior acoustic field of a speaker system with rectangular closed cavity and its effect on the impedance and the sound pressure reponses are investigated by applying the finite element method to the rectangular enclosure. Based on a good agreement with the theoretical and the experimental, it is founded that FEM is useful method for the development of a speaker system generating the diverse mode.

In this paper, a simple design method is represented for a contiguous-band waveguide manifold diplexer which employs a half-wavelength line at the input port of the singly terminated bandpass filterand has resonant-slot coupled E-plane T-junctions. This design method is based on the fact that the input impedance characteristics of the singly terminated bandpass filter are approximately unchanged when a resonant slot and a half-wavelength line at the input port of the filter are employed. This design method is also applicable to the design of the multiplexer. A contiguous-band waveguide manifold diplexer using the post coupled cavity filters is designed, constructed, and tested. The computed and experimental results show the validity of the theory.

The precise measurement technique for dielectric constent of high-loss nonmagnetic materials is described. This technique use6 is based upon cavity resonance method and impedance method. Dielectric constant can be calculated from simple formulas without using transcen-dental equations. The error contained in x-band yields loss tangent, 3%, and dielertric constant, 1%, for materials filled in cross section of waveguide.

This paper proposes the Fault Location Estimation Algorithm in the parallel transmission lines. These algorithm uses a variable data window method based on least square error method to estimate fault impedance quickly. And it selects the optimal equation according to the operation situation and usable fault data for minimizing the fault estimation error effected by the zero sequence mutual coupling. After simulation result, we can see that these algorithm estimates fault location more rapidly and exactly.

A great deal of effert has been invested in upgrading the performance and the efficiency of mechanical structures. Using experimental modal analysis(EMA) or finite element analysis(FEA) data of mechanical structures, this performance and efficiency can be effectively evaluated. In order to analyze complex structures such as automobiles and aircraft, for the sake of computing efficiency, the dynamic substructuring techniques that allow to predict the dynamic behavior of a structure based on that of the composing structures, are widely used. By llinking a modal model obtained from EMA and an analytical model obtained from FEA, the best conditioned structures can be desinged. In this paper, a new algorithm for structural dynamic modification-SRFSM (substructure response function sensitivity method) is proposed by linking frequency responce function synthesis and response function sensitivity. A mehtod to obtain response function sensitivity using direct derivative of mechanical impedance, is also used.

High-power ultrasonic promotes a chemical reaction by its own energy, thus it has been used for sonochemistry applications. For example, it has been mostly used for mixing, reaction catalyst, dispersion and disintegration. High-power ultrasonic transducer is made with structure based on a Bolt-clamped Langevin type Transducer (BLT), But it has difficulty in the development because degradation of piezoelectric ceramic by the heat generation of BLT. In this study, for a development of the transducer of 25 kHz and 1000 W used in sonochemistry and industrial cleaning, BLT with a hole in its center and tubular type waveguide of the transducer were designed based on finite element method (FEM). The transducer was fabricated based on the design parameter, and the impedance characteristics are measured experimentally and compared with the numerical results.

The present article is concerned with the application of the kinetic Monte Carlo simulation to electrochemistry of lithium intercalation from the kinetic view point. Basic concepts of the kinetic Monte Carlo method and the transition state theory were first introduced, and then the simulation procedures were explained to evaluate diffusion process. Finally the kinetic Monte Carlo method based upon the transition state theory was employed under the cell-impedance-controlled constraint to analyse the current transient and the linear sweep voltammogram for the $LiMn_2O_4$ electrode, one of the intercalation compounds. From the results, it was found that the kinetic Monte Carlo method is much relevant to investigate kinetics of the lithium intercalation in the field of electrochemistry.
