In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering ultrasonic vibrator, PCW-PMN-PZT ceramics with the amount of $Nb_2O_5$ addition were manufactured. All of the fabricated sample showed pure pervoskite structure of tetragonal phase. With increasing the amount of $Nb_2O_5$ addition, mechanical quality factor Qm were increased up to 0.2wt%$Nb_2O_5$ addition and then decreased. And also, with increasing the amount of $Nb_2O_5$ addition, grain size, kp, density and dielectric constant were linearly decreased. At the 0.2wt% $Nb_2O_5$ addition composition ceramic, kp of 0.48, Qm of 2186, ${\varepsilon}r$ of 1219 were shown, respectively. Their values were suitable for ultrasonic vibrator application.

Fine $PbTiO_3$ Particles were synthesized from the $Pb(NO_3)_2$and $TiO(NO_3)_2$ solution by the spray pyrolysis method using the ultrasonic vibrator as a mist generator. The obtained particles were characterized. The mechanisms of particle formation were discussed in comparison with those if other particles, such as $BaTiO_3$, $ZnO_2$, ZnO ....., in the same spray pyrolysis process.

A target of this paper is to get some elementary experimental data on the energy harvesting using a piezoelectric material. A THUNDER series piezo material (TH7-R), which has been developed by NASA engineer is selected for this study. In order to provide a mechanical energy to the piezoelectric material, a mechanical motion vibrator and its driving electronics are designed. Using a simple PWM control, the excitation frequency of vibrating mechanical motion is varied. The generated electric power as a function of the excitation frequency is monitored and analyzed. This initial experiment shows a possible energy source using a piezoelectric material for the application to low-power consumed small electronic devices such as RFID, MEMS, and etc.

Recently, because the lubricating oil showed a tendency to be emulsified and oxidized by high speed, high output and the extension of maintenance & conservation of marine engine, the cavitation erosion-corrosion at such an environment became a big problem on effective performance of engine. Therefore, there was a need to study the behavior and protection of erosion-corrosion damage, and then applied inhibitor to a protective method of cavitation erosion- corrosion damage. At this time, test environments were marine lubricating oil & various emulsified oil that mixed distilled water and sea water etc., and also used 20KHz, 24.mu.m piezoelectric vibrator as an experimental apparatus of cavitation erosion. With this apparatus, we investigated an influence of the emulsified oil on characteristics of erosion-corrosion and protection for erosion-corrosion by inhibitor at slide bearing metals.

This study was made to effect on the porosity when model making for control of vibrator. Samples of total 600 were made by plaster and stone divided low, medium and high which is 100 each. The following results were obtained to observation porosity of surface by eyes. 1. Second stage was fewer than third stage, first stage was fewer than third stage in porosity number of plaster model. 2. Second stage was fewer than first stage in porosity number of stone model. 3. Stone model was fewer than plaster model in porosity number of third stage.

In an attempt to improve adhesion strength between glass and metal due to use of Pb-free solder as a sealant between glass and metal in the manufacturing process of vacuum insulation window glass to maintain the vacuum volume, ultrasonic energy is often applied during the process of Pb-free sealing. In this study, we propose an ultrasonic vibrator with a 4 mm end tip radius which performs resonance frequency of 60 kHz and 14 um or higher vibration displacement. A frequency variation due to applied pressure on piezo disks, which was excluded in the computer simulation, was verified experimentally, and we have demonstrated a 17 um vibration displacement at 50 V input through the performance test of a vibrator constructed with our specification.

In this Paper, we developed an electrolarynx controlled by the EMG(electromyography) of the sternohyoid muscle, and rested the property of the new electrolarynx while normal persons with his own larynx use it. for the examination of property of the developed electrolarynx, our researchers performed three different experiments. The first experiment was tested whether that on/off control of the vibrator of the electrolarynx is synchronized with the activity of the sternohyoid EMG. In the second experiment, it was tested when the lower amplitude of the sternohyoid EMG is produced, whether the higher pitch of the electrolarynx is produced, and vice versa. The third experiment was tested the probability that the electrolarynx can produce the voiceless sound. As the results, we found that the developed electrolarynx had the good produce of the on/off vibrator control and the pitch control of the electrolarynx. Also, we ascertained the possibility that it can produce the voiceless sound.

A target of this paper is to study on the usefulness of the adaptive piezoelectric energy harvesting device as a wireless electrical power supply when it is driven by mechanical vibrations of low frequency. For this purpose, an adaptive control technique and a step-down converter are used. A THUNDER series a piezoelectric material (TH7-R), which has been developed by a NASA engineer is selected for this study. In order to provide a mechanical energy to the piezoelectric material, a mechanical motion vibrator is designed. The adaptive controller is implemented using a dSPACE DS1104 controller board. The do-dc converter with an adaptive control technique harvests energy at over five times the rate of direct charging without a converter.

decrease in efficiency due to cavity fluid fluctuation. The purpose of this study is to examine erosion aspect on the SS400 specimen by cavitation and the effect of impact pressure generated from the demolition of the cavity of ultrasonic vibrator horn in the marine sludge oil environment. The erosion damage of specimen was investigated mainly on weight loss, weight loss rate and maximum erosion rate with variation of the vibration amplitude of $50{\mu}m, 24{\mu}m$ as well as the change of space between transducer horn and specimen. The experimental results showed that as the space between ultrasonic vibrator horn and specimen disk increased, the weight loss and weight loss rate decreased and the values were larger in SFO than in SLO. These findings would help interpret the aspect of cavitation erosion damage in metallic materials of different operating environment and material characteristics.

Milli-structure components are classified as a component group whose size is between macro and micro scales, that is, about less than 20mm and larger than 1mm. The forming of these components has a typical phenomenon of bulk deformation with thin sheets because of the forming size. In this study, milli-structure rectangular cup drawing is analyzed and measured using the finite element method and experiment. Generally, milli-structure containers or cases like cellular phone vibrator consist of rectangular-shaped drawing to save installation space. A systematic approach is established for the design and the experiment of the forming processes for rectangular milli-structure cases. To verify the simulation results, the experimental investigations were also carried out on a real industrial product. The numerical analysis by FEM shows good agreement with the experimental results in view of the deformation shape of the product.
