in this paper, a new non-contact ultrasonic abrasive finishing mechanism is designed and fabricated. this mechanism combines the function of ultrasonic vibrations and the magnetic abrasive finishing (maf) process. a permanent magnet which is mounted on a horn has been used as the processing tool. this polishing tool is vibrated at an ultrasonic frequency with piezo-electric actuators. ultrasoni...

Quantitative ultrasonic characterization of cancellous bone can be complicated by artifacts introduced by analyzing acquired data consisting of two propagating waves (a fast wave and a slow wave) as if only one wave were present. Recovering the ultrasonic properties of overlapping fast and slow waves could therefore lead to enhancement of bone quality assessment. The current study uses Bayesian...

BACKGROUND Ultrasonic dissection devices have been designed for use in open surgery but it is not certain how they compare with standard surgical techniques. METHODS This was a multicentre randomized controlled trial comparing ultrasonic dissection with the traditional surgical technique for haemostasis and dissection during left hemicolectomy and total gastrectomy. The primary endpoint was d...

Rotary ultrasonic machining is one of the nontraditional machining processes for advanced ceramics. Currently available in literature are publications on theoretical and experimental studies on material removal rates in rotary ultrasonic machining. However, there is no report on the systematic study of the cutting force in rotary ultrasonic machining. Furthermore, the effects of some process pa...

Apparent molar compressibilities (φk) and apparent molar volume (φv) of L-valine, L-leucine andL-phenylalanine in aqueous solution of KNO3 at different concentrations have been determined at the temperature 303.15K using a standard ultrasonic frequency of 2 MHz. The above parameters can be evaluated from precise density, ultrasonic velocity and time flow measurements using a specific gravity bo...

the condensation of benzylamine with glyoxal leads to hexabenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane (hbiw) in acetonitrile solvent with citric acid as a green catalyst under both conventional stirring and ultrasonic irradiation conditions. the influence of four variables, including the amount of catalyst, solvent, reaction time and ultrasonic power, on the reaction yield was investigated. the results showed t...

This paper proposes the ELID (Electrolytic in Process Dressing) ultrasonic honing system, and conducts simulation for the solution acoustic coupling mechanism of electrolyte between the anion and cathode of ELID ultrasonic honing system. Meanwhile, a comparative experiment is carried out for the ultrasonic honing and ordinary honing. The simulation results show that there is no obvious increase...

In this work, the ultrasonic signals are modelled as a superposition of many Gaussian echoes with unknown parameters. The detection of ultrasonic echoes using Maximum A Posteriori estimation principle, based on the prior knowledge of the spectral characteristic of the ultrasonic transducer, has been used in order to estimate the unknown parameters. A simulation study validated by experimentatio...
