Article Abstract

Modeling of ultrasonic testing has been paid a great attention in nondestructive evaluation community recently since it can provide thorough understanding of underlying physics of ultrasonic testing. As a result, there have been developed various modeling approaches up to now. Especially, many practical models have been developed based on either the multi-Gaussian beam or the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld integral. This paper discusses the modeling of ultrasonic testing with oblique incidence at the near critical angles using these two approaches. The theoretical models that can predict the reflection signals from side drilled cylindrical holes in solid specimen immersed in water are developed. Then, the theoretical predictions for the oblique incidence at the near critical angles are compared to the experiments for the investigation of model behavior.

This study investigates the phenomenon of mode repulsion in Lamb waves propagating through two coupled plates with an elastic interface. Using a spring-based coupling model and the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method, the dispersion curves of the coupled system are analyzed under various interface conditions-weak coupling, sliding boundary, and perfect coupling. This research highlights how the mechanical stiffness of the interface influences the separation of modes and the emergence of repulsion regions.

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a PEEK (polyether-ether-ketone) ultrasonic tip in the cleaning around implant-supported restorations and to evaluate the effect of different cement types on the amount of residual cement at the restoration margins.Materials and methods A master model with an implant analogue placed in the upper left first premolar region was used to create 72 cast models and zirconia crowns were fabricated for each model. A total of 72 zirconia crowns were divided into two main groups based on the cleaning method applied after cementation.

Post-washing using a Soxhlet apparatus improves the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of 3D printing resin in contaminated solvent.

Department of Prosthodontics, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University, 50-1 Yonsei-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, 03722, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Photopolymerization-based 3D printing is widely used in dental manufacturing due to its precision and customizability. However, printed resin specimens require effective post-washing to remove unpolymerized resin, which is a critical step that affects both their mechanical properties and biocompatibility. A conventional ultrasonic bath may fail to achieve effective post-washing due to solvent contamination by the residual resin, resulting in incomplete cleaning and possible redeposition.

Study on the nonlinear characteristic of a longitudinal piezoelectric ultrasound transducer with stepped horn.

Ultrason Sonochem

Key Laboratory of Acoustics and Vibration Applied Measuring Technology, State Administration for Market Regulation, Hangzhou 310018, China.

Longitudinal vibration sandwich piezoelectric transducers with a stepped horn are widely used in high-intensity ultrasonic applications such as ultrasonic welding, ultrasonic machining, and ultrasonic cleaning. In these applications, due to the increased losses, transducers exhibit nonlinear phenomena such as heating, resonance frequency drift, and amplitude saturation. Consequently, existing linear theoretical models are no longer suitable for analyzing the nonlinear characteristics of such transducers.
