This study was to find the best adhesive condition comparing mechanical property in case of hot-melt adhesion using glue-gun, ultrasonic welding with adhesion and only ultrasonic welding in order to adhere thermoplastic resin of polyethylene (PE) in which reliable adhesion was resulted in case of ultrasonic welding with same materials of PE. The best welding condition were acquired at welding time 1 second, welding pressure 250kPa for PE-PE where welding time and welding pressure were increased in accordance with the increase of material strength. At the best ultrasonic welding conditions, bonding strength of PE-PE welding was about 21MPa of which material have tensile strength of 24MPa. Through the analysis of microscophic test for ultrasonic welding structure, it was distinguished between well welded structure with higher intermolecule flow and bad welded structure with lower flow, of which result is mostly correspond with the result of tensile strength test.

Since resources of fossil fuels are limited, development of alternative energies is emphasized and research on new-regenerative energy is actively in progress worldwide. In present research, physical and chemical characteristics of mixed fuel are analyzed in detail for the different mixture rate of conventional and bio-diesel and ultrasonic irradiation time. Experimental setup consists of ultrasonic generator, vibrator, horn, and reflector. Various physical and chemical characteristics of fuel are investigated for volumetric mixture rate of bio-diesel from 0 to 100%. As results, viscosity and surface tension is increased as mixture rate of bio-diesel is increased. Also, molecular splits and reunions are increased and decreased repeatedly after some period of time as ultrasonic energy irradiation time is increased. As conclusion of experiments, Olefin rate, Branch index, and Aromatic rate are influenced by ultrasonic irradiation time.

In ultrasonic vibration drawing, the drawing forces can be reduced by applying ultrasonically oscillating dies. Ultrasonic vibration drawing has been considered as a means of accommodating high-level drawing processes such as shaped wire, ultrafine wire, and the wire drawing operation in semidry or dry condition. Prior studies were attempted to analyze the mechanism of improved drawing performances, such as reduced drawing force and improved lubrication characteristic. However, researches on design rule for ultrasonic vibration drawing system are not yet carried out. The principal objectives of this work are to design a set of tooling capable to superimpose the oscillations and to observe by experiments the influence of the ultrasonic oscillations on the wire drawing.

The utilization of resonance should be considered to get the maximum effect of ultrasonic to atomize liquid. The ultrasonic generator, transducer, horn, and all attached parts are used to produce the resonance, and specially the characteristics of liquids such as liquid load, property, and etc., for the liquid atomization affinity are considered. In this study, the variable device of liquid load was made and distilled water and city water selected as experimental liquids were sprayed by a twin-fluid spray method and their diameters, distributions, and spray quantum of spray droplets were measured by the light scattering system. And all data were observed, compared and considered relatively. In results, a lot of phenomena of liquid atomization affinity by ultrasonic appeared in accordance with liquid loads, namely head h.

Ultrasonic welder joins with a horn and a booster for amplification of the mechanical displacement. This coupling generates other resonance points at a frequency range lower than the piezoelectric material's resonance frequency. Therefore, frequency variation range through PLL control was proposed in order to prevent reaction to these resonance points.

Joint structure of a transducer horn-holder assembly fur a wire bonder was examined through FEM contact analysis. A three dimensional modeling and analysis was carried out to survey the internal physics of this structure and to prove the accuracy of a computation compared to a measurement. After validation, a simple two dimensional model was built fur various parametric study considering the efficiency and speed of the computation. Several factors such as boundary conditions, a modeling boundary, mesh density and so on, were considered to obtain consistency with three dimensional analysis. An arc angle and a position of each holder boss were chosen as design parameters. A design of experiment was applied to find out an optimized design of the holder geometry. As a result, a guideline for holder boss design was suggested and main factors and their influence on stress concentration in the transducer horn were surveyed.

A series of thermoplastic polymers and their blends were melt-processed with high intensity ultrasonic wave in an intensive mixer. For the effective transfer of ultrasonic energy, an experimental apparatus was specially designed so that polymer melt can directly contact with ultrasonic horn. It was observed that significant variations in the rheological properties of polymers occur due to the unique action of ultrasonic wave without any aid of chemical additives. It was also found that the direct sonication on immiscible polymer blends in melt state reduces the domain sizes considerably and stabilizes the phase morphology of the blends. The degree of compatibilization was strongly affected by viscosity ratio of the components and the morphology was stable after annealing in properly compatibilized blends. It is suggested that ultrasound assisted melt mixing can lead to in-situ copolymer formation between the components and consequently provide an effective route to compatibilize immiscible polymer blends.

초음파 용접용 혼의 설계에 대한 기본적인 방법과 절차를 설명하였다. 그러나 아직까지 혼의 최적 형상을 구하는 방법은 시행착오(trial-and-error) 방법과 실험 및 설계자의 경험에 많이 의존해야 한다. 또한, 혼의 해석 결과로서 다양한 진동 모드를 얻을 수 있기 때문에 설계자는 이를 분석하고 원하는 진동 모드를 얻을 수 있도록 설계하여야 한다.
