The modal vibration characteristics of new MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) ultrasonic sensors have been studied theoretically and experimentally. Such studies are needed in order to design MEMS sensors with improved sensitivity for detection of ultrasound. The determination of vibration behavior of such sensors is critical for a successful design, and a validated vibration characterizatio...

Wear behavior is influential to improve friction drive and wear lifespan of actuators or motors, which work at an elliptical locus vibration. Sliding wear tests of metallic friction pairs are conducted by a laboratory rig of ultrasonic vibration. Surfaces of the different metallic sliders are characterized using surface roughness, Abbott curves and fractal dimension. Results show that surface r...

High-frequency vibration aided EDM has become one of the ways to increase material removal rate in EDM process, due to the flushing effect caused by vibration. However, utilizing high-frequency vibration, especially in ultrasonic range consumes a lot of setup cost. This work presents an attempt to use a low-frequency vibration on workpiece of stainless steel (SS 304) during EDM process. The wor...

This work experimentally elucidates the effects of ultrasonic treatment on the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of a waste-activated sludge. A critical ultrasonic power level exists above which, accompanied with the release of divalent cations from the sludge body, the floc structure effectively disintegrated, microbial level acceptably disinfected, and particulate organic com...

Surface quality including surface roughness and edge chipping is a key process measure in micro ultrasonic machining (Micro-USM) as an efficient process for micromachining of hard and brittle materials. Process parameters such as ultrasonic vibration amplitude, static load, type of tool material, type and size of abrasive particles and slurry concentration can influence the surface quality. How...
