objective roughness is the main parameter in interlocking bonding mechanism. yet there is no model designed to evaluate the effect of surface roughness on adhesion of coating materials in pharmaceutical sciences. materials and methods in this study polymethyl metacrylate spherical beads with different sizes were poured into 10 mm mold, then it was pressed by hand screw and finally heated to 141...

Modulus of elasticity is one of the important parameters of construction materials, which considerably influence their deformation properties and which can also be determined by means of non-destructive test methods like ultrasonic pulse method. However, measurement results of ultrasonic pulse methods are influenced by various factors, one of which is the natural frequency of the transducers. T...

A series of materials used for oil absorption based on cellulose fiber grafted with butyl acrylate (BuAc) have been prepared by radical polymerization under ultrasonic waves processing. Effects of ultrasonic dose for the maximum graft yield were considered. The dependency of optimum conditions for oil absorption rate on parameters such as ultrasonic processing time and ultrasonic power were als...

The importance of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) to check the integrity of materials in different fields of industry has increased significantly in recent years. Actually, industry demands NDT methods that allow fast (preferably non-contact) detection and localization of early-stage defects with easy-to-interpret results, so that even a non-expert field worker can carry out the testing. The main...

In ultrasonic testing of welding flaws, the reliability and quality of tests are considerably affected by noise and spurious signals. Thus, signal de-noising and increasing of the signal-noise ratio (SNR) are a key to successful application of ultrasonic NDT and NDE. At present, there are many methods for signal de-noising, such as median filtering, non-linear filtering, adaptive filtering, cor...

Owing to the successful use of phased array probes in automatic testing machines, more and more applications can now be found in the field of manual inspections. Miniaturization of electronic components and improvements of processing speed allow the integration of phased array hardware into a small, battery driven instruments for fast ultrasonic imaging. The advantages of the phased array techn...

The stress on a test specimen during tensile testing is generally measured by a strain gauge. This method has some problems in that it would influence the measurement conditions of the tensile test and can evaluate only the position at which the strain gauge is attached. The acoustoelastic method is proposed as a method replacing the strain gauge method. However, an ultrasonic sensor with a pie...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate in vitro the effect of cavity preparation with microburs and diamond-coated ultrasonic tips on the microleakage and marginal fit of six end-root filling materials. STUDY DESIGN. The following materials were assessed: amalgam (Amalcap), zinc oxide eugenol (IRM), glass ionomer (Vitrebond), compomer (Cavalite), mineral particle aggregate (MTA) and composite (Clearfil). Cavit...

The synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) is often used for imaging in non-destructive ultrasonic testing. Conventional SAFT is well suited for contact testing of homogeneous objects because of the constant sound speed throughout the media, whereas the refraction present in the practically important case of immersion tests has so far prevented a widespread use of SAFT for such data. Fort...
