An object transport system is driven by a conveyor belt system or a magnetic levitation system. It is an indispensable device in many fields and especially it is very important in the factory automation. However, the conventional transport system can damage precision optical components by the contact force and destroy the inner structure of semiconductor by the magnetic field. The new transport system for transporting without damage is required. The ultrasonic transport system is a device that transports objects on the elastic body using ultrasonic wave. In this paper, an object transport system using the ultrasonic wave is developed for transporting precision elements without damage. Traveling waves are generated by the ultrasonic wave generator fixed in both ends of the beam. The traveling wave of the ultrasonic transport system is theoretically analyzed. Transport direction of the object is examined according to phase difference and frequency. The theoretical results are verified by experiments.

This paper represents a piezoelectric ultrasonic linear motor by traveling wave. The motor which is composed of two piezo ceramics, elastic body, and connecting tip is driven by the frictional force between the connecting tip and the linear motion guide. longitudinal and flexural vibrations are made by traveling wave which is generated when the ultrasonic electrical signals with 90 degree phase difference are applied to two ceramics. These vibrations contribute to elliptical motion by mixed mode between longitudinal and transverse mode. A linear movement can be easily obtained by using the elliptical motion. In this paper, the piezoelectric actuator has been intensively simulated by using ATILA to achieve an optimized elliptical motion of it. We could get the elliptical motion from actual experiment through the simulated result.

The supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO₂) Brayton cycle is an important energy conversion technology for the fourth generation of nuclear energy. Since the printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) used in the S-CO₂ Brayton cycle has narrow channels, Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection is likely to exist in the tiny channels. However, there are very few studies on RB convection in supercritical fluids. Current research on RB convection mainly focuses on conventional fluids such as water and air that meet the Boussinesq assumption. It is necessary to study non-Boussinesq fluids. PRB convection refers to RB convection that is affected by horizontal incoming flow. In this paper, the computational fluid dynamics simulation method is used to study the PRB convection phenomenon of non-Boussinesq fluid-supercritical carbon dioxide. The result shows that the inlet Reynolds number (Re) of the horizontal incoming flow significantly affects the PRB convection. When the inlet Re remains unchanged, with the increase of Rayleigh number (Ra), the steady-state convective pattern of the fluid layer is shown in order: horizontal flow, local traveling wave, traveling wave convection. If Ra remains unchanged, as the inlet Re increases, three convection patterns of traveling wave convection, local traveling wave, and horizontal flow will appear in sequence. To characterize the relationship between traveling wave convection and horizontal incoming flow, this paper proposes the relationship between critical Reynolds number and relative Rayleigh number (r).

We use the (G'/G)-expansion method to seek the traveling wave solution of the Seventh-order Sawada-Kotera Equation. The solutions that we get are more general than the solutions given in literature. It is shown that the (G'/G)-expansion method provides a very effective and powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear equations in mathematical physics.

This paper describes the development and testing results of a high density High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS) that drives microwave Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs) of phased array transmitters for airborne EW systems. The HVPS is designed to consist of a number of modules connected in series. Among them, especially, the high-density pulse transformer module including the resonant circuit is newly designed to make the HVPS much more reliable. In addition, this paper describes the development of high voltage solid-state modulation using fast switching devices (FETs) and also represents the test results of a modulator module.

The optical response for traveling-wave Mach-Zehnder modulators without-with phased reversal is successfully derived in more concise and succinct form than any other equations before. The obtained equation is applied to a bandpass traveling-wave modulator with 3-section phase reversal and is confirmed to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental data.

In this paper, we propose a novel type shaft-less ring type ultrasonic motor. A traveling wave rotary type ultrasonic motor is selected as a base model. The newly designed stator has two piezoelectric ceramic rings which are bonded in sandwich shape as traveling wave generator. So, we can expect to produce higher torque. The proposed model has the rotor structure that coupled with the stator provokes the pressure, this model do not install the separate plate any spring device. We used the finite element method to verify the operation principle and to compute the vibration mode of proposed model.

In this paper, we propose a novel type valveless micro-pump that uses extensional vibration mode of traveling wave as a volume transporting means for solving some problems about check valves, essential parts of usual pumps. The proposed pump consists of two piezoelectric ceramic rings and a metal body located in the middle of them respectively. Because the drift of bended surface that results from the traveling wave excitation controls the fluid flow, check valves are not needed in this pump model. In accordance with the variation of the pump body dimension, we analyzed the vibration displacement characteristics of pump model, determined the optimal design condition, fabricated the prototype pump from the analysis results and evaluated its efficiency.

In this paper, we analyze the microwave characteristics of traveling-wave electro-absorption modulator (TW-EAM) considering the microwave feedline and the impedance mismatch. The TW-EAM is analyzed by using the equivalent circuit model. The capacitance and the inductance of the equivalent circuit are evaluated by using 3-dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, while the microwave feedline is analyzed by momentum method. In a viewpoint of microwave characteristics, we present the effect of the structure and the length of microwave feedline.

In this paper, we presented the exact Riemann solver for the air-water two-phase shock tube problems where the strength of the propagated sock wave is moderately weak. The shock tube has a diaphragm in the middle which separates water medium in the left and air medium in the right. By rupturing the diaphragm, various waves such as rarefaction wave, shock wave and contact discontinuity are propagated into water and air. Both fluids are treated as compressible, with the linearized equations of state. We used the isentropic relations for the air and water assuming a weak shock wave. We solved the shock tube problem considering a high pressure in the water and a low pressure in the air. The numerical results cleary showed a left-traveling rarefaction wave in the water, a right-traveling shock wave in the air, and the right-traveling material interface.
