Acoustic streaming Induced by longitudinal vibration at 30 kHz is visualized for a test fluid flow between the stationary glass plate and ultrasonic vibrating surface with particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) To measure an increase in the velocity of air flow due to acoustic streaming, the velocity of air flow in a gap between the heat source and ultrasonic vibrator is obtained quantitatively using PIV. The ultrasonic wave propagating into air in the gap generates steady-state secondary vortex called acoustic streaming which enhances convective cooling of the stationary heat source. Heat transfer through air in the gap is represented by experimental convective heat transfer coefficient with respect to the gap. Theoretical analysis shows that gaps for maximum heat transfer enhancement are the multiple of half wavelength. Optimal gaps for the actual design are experimentally found to be half wavelength and one wavelength. A drastic temperature variation exists for the local axial direction of the vibrator according to the measurement of the temperature distribution in the gap. The acoustic streaming velocity of the test fluid in the gap is at maximum when the gap agrees with the multiples of half wavelength of the ultrasonic wave, which are specifically 6 mm and 12 mm.

Characteristics of a twin-fluid spray with ultrasonic vibration were examined in order to obtain a high efficiency of cold-fog spray of the automatic pest control machine which has been widely used in protected horticulture recently. An electrostrictive vibrator of PZT BLT and a magnetostrictive $\pi$-type vibrator were used applied as the ultrasonic transducers with a frequency of 28 kHz. All experiments were conducted in 4 methods of spray ; a conventional spray method without ultrasonic forcing, an indirect vibration method with ultrasonic forcing, an improving-quality method by ultrasonic forced within liquid, and a combined-use method with both of the indirect vibration method and the improving quality method. It was found that the ultrasonic energy increased the atomization efficiency of spray droplets about 10% and especially much more in the case of the combined-use method.

In this paper the relationship between the pressing force applied to rotors and the characteristics of ultrasonic motor are discussed. The characteristics of ultrasonic motor using a piezoelectric vibrator were systematically studied. And these were applied to the construction of a card forwarding device. The principle of ultrasonic motor is to use an elliptical motion generated on the side of the vibrator, and the elliptical motion of the ultrasonic motor was obtained by complex oscillation of $L_1-B_4$ mode. As the experimental results. the forwarding speed of the card increased linearly as the pressing force applied to rotors increased. The forwarding speed of the card was 16.0 cm/s when the pressing force applied to rotors was 1 N. The forwarding force of the card increased linearly as the pressing force applied to rotors increased. The forwarding force of the card was 398 mN when the pressing force applied to rotors was 1 N. Therefore, this ultrasonic motor can be expected to be used for card-forwarding device and so on.

In this paper, the functional propertied of vibrotactile sense of skin were studied by means of psycophysical experiments with respect to frequency and waveform of mechanical vibration, two-point threshold, contactor size of stimulators. Furthermore, leased on the experimental result, a small vibrotactile stimulator made of piezoelectrc ireed vibrator array was proposed for a aid blind to recognition of the Korean letters. A tactile output image is presented by an 8 row$\times$1 column array of samall vibrator reeds with 200 Hz rectangular wave, the array fitting on a fore-finger. Under the control of the NOVA mini-computer, the bimorph reeds array could represent any of one of the 24 characters of the Korean vowel and consonant at the 8 positions from left to right on the array. Without learning effect, the identification test of the Korean characters by the designed experimental system was carried out. The average rate of correct response was 90%.

In this paper, we present design and analysis of the omni-directional linear piezoelectric actuator which was consisted of one actuator using the half-wave vibrator. Through calculating vibration speeds on each sector of the actuator, the displacement of contact point of the actuator is theoretically confirmed to be about 33 nm. To confirm an applicable possibility of omni-directional linear piezoelectric actuator, elliptical motion for linear movement, displacement of the tip, changing directions and admittance characteristics are simulated by ATILA. Compared with theoretical result, we obtained similar data with displacement of 32.5 nm at contact point. And then the actuator is simulated elliptical trajectories for linear motions and changing directions according to combination of input signal.

This paper deals with a flat type ultrasonic motor, which uses a longitudinal-bending multi mode vibrator of rectangular form. This ultrasonic motor was designed by combination of the first longitudinal and eighth bending mode, and the motor consisted of a straight aluminum alloy bar bonded with piezoelectric ceramic elements as a driving element. The geometrical dimensions of the rectangular aluminum vibrator were determined by Euler-Bernoulli theory In the experimental device, piezoelectric ceramics ( a piece of ceramic for the L-mode, $24\;{\times}\;8\;{\times}\;1[mm]$, and four pieces for the B-mode, $12.5\;{\times}\;8\;{\times}\;1[mm]$) were attached to one side of a aluminum plate($100\;{\times}\;8\;{\times}\;1[mm]$), and the stator was supported with a plastic case. As results, no-load rpm was 50[rev./m] when applied voltage was 150[Vrms] at the resonance frequency, and as the voltage was increased, the rpm was increased.

Surface texturing is a promising route to reduce the friction forces between two surfaces in sliding contact. To this end, the fabrication of micro dimples is one of the most widely used surface texturing methods. According to published results, textured surfaces with elliptical micro dimples offer the best friction performance. Therefore, we fabricated elliptical micro dimples on carbon steel (SM45C) by using dual frequency vibration assisted machining. High and low frequencies of 16.3 kHz and 230 Hz were applied to the 3D resonant elliptical vibrator. The 3D resonant elliptical vibrator with a triangular cubic boron nitride insert was assembled on a computer numerically controlled turning lathe. Oval micro dimples of various profiles were manufactured on carbon steel. In terms of the profile of the elliptical micro dimples, the experimental results indicated that the average micro dimple width and depth were 112 ㎛ and 7.7 ㎛. These dimensions are closely related to the cutting conditions and can be easily controlled.

In order to effectively isolate the marine wastes with an effluent standard, the pretreatment process is required to isolate solid materials from the liquid-solid mixed wastes. The more effective the pretreatment becomes, the more processing capacity of posttreatment will be improved and process facilities will be downsized. In this paper, we suggested the vibrating reverse-slant screen, investigated the optimal vibration frequency and vibrator installation angle for the separation of the liquid solid mixed wastes. Several experiments for separation efficiency were conducted under the condition of various vibration frequency($35{\sim}60Hz$, 5Hz interval) and vibrator angle($0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$) considering the crack of screen. The screen inclination angle is set up the gradient as $3^{\circ}{\sim}5^{\circ}$ through the preliminary experiments. Also, we made two types of screen(respectively rectangle and square screen). The separation device has shown the optimum efficiency at vibrator angle $0^{\circ}$ and vibration frequency 60Hz, and has no relation with the shape of screen. And the proposed technology is verified by comparing with quantity of suspended solids before and after filtration.

In this study, a new modal test method is presented to evaluate vibration characteristic of the nano imprint stage system. Since it is difficult to measure vibration level without contacting the machine component, non contacting modal test method, laser scanning system is ultrared. Finite element analysis results are compared with the modal test results.
