Ultrasonic sensors permanently affixed to aluminum coupons are used to monitor progression of damage during fatigue testing with the long term goal of structural health monitoring for diagnostics and prognostics. Necessary for success are proper design of the ultrasonic testing methods, robust transducer mounting techniques, and real-time signal processing for determining the state of the struc...

The removal of nitroaromatics from polluted water is difficult due to their high stability to conventional treatment methods. This paper presents a method for the destruction of 1,3-dinitrobenzene and 2,4-dinitrotoluene in aqueous solutions. The compounds are shown to be stable to reaction with ozone, even under ultrasonic activation. The use of ultrasound enhances the rate of electrochemical r...

A highly efficient novel photocatalyst consisting of nitrogen-carbon dots (N-CDs) and three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical BiOBr was synthesized via a simple ultrasonic-assisted method and used for the degradation of hazardous dyes. Deposition of N-CDs onto the surface of BiOBr was confirmed through structure and composition characterizations. The N-CDs/BiOBr composites exhibited superior activi...

An efficient and convenient method for degradation of Acid orange 3 (AO3) dye from aqueous solution by combination of Fly ash/H2O2 and ultrasound irradiation is reported. The effects of the relevant operating conditions (pH value, dye concentration, H2O2 concentration, dosage of Fly ash and different reaction system) on the degradation of AO3 were also observed. The combination method was found...

in this work firstly fe3o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a sono-chemical method. at the second step magnesium hydroxide shell was synthesized on the magnetite-core under ultrasonic waves. for preparation fe3o4-mgo the product was calcinated at 400 ºc for 2h. properties of the product were examined by x-ray diffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform ...

Chemical/electrochemical stability at the interfaces greatly affects performance of solid-state batteries (SSBs). However, interfacial behavior in SSBs remains elusive due to subsurface nature and lack proper characterization methods. Herein, ultrasonic imaging is employed nondestructively investigate pouch cells. Benefiting from high sensitivity ultrasound gas/vacuum, operando can effectively ...
