Introduction: Polymer materials are increasingly used in machine elements such as seals and plain bearings. In particular, PEEK has gained attention for use in wind turbine applications due to its strength and resistance to harsh operating conditions. However, its low thermal ... Read More
The mechanical effects associated with the collapse of laser-induced cavitation bubbles are central to numerous medical and industrial applications, particularly where precise, localized energy delivery is required. This study examines the interaction of nanosecond-pulsed infrared laser ... Read More
The phenomenon of cavitation can severely affect the working of valves used to control liquid flow. Cavitation occurs when the pressure is reduced and the water evaporates, forming bubbles. When bubbles pass into an area of higher pressure, they condense and collapse, releasing a large ... Read More
Ultrasonic flow-cell reactors are used for many industrial applications, where fluid substrate is sonicated in a small region, where very high ultrasonic acoustic power is present. The electromechanical transducer (converter) that drive the sonotrode inside the flow-cell is designed in ... Read More
Atherosclerosis prevalence keeps increasing worldwide because of the sedentary lifestyle and aging of the population. It is a pathology which is characterized by the build-up of plaque on the artery walls. While it has no incidence at the beginning, the blood flow can be severely altered ... Read More
Angular contact ball bearings (ACBB) are rolling bearings designed to support both axial and radial loads. The rolling elements (balls in this case) significantly decrease the power losses associated with rotating load bearing by replacing sliding with rolling. However, both the specific ... Read More
This article reports the design of a high-power ultrasound system, capable of emitting acoustic radiation at 20kHz with SPL peaks up to 160dB at a distance of up to 1m. The main problem of high power airborne ultrasonic systems lies in the acoustic impedance mismatch between the radiator ... Read More
While the modelling of smooth concentrated contact lubrication has been achieved a few decades ago [1], the engineer is often left with no other option than to neglect many aspects of real-world contacts. Among these aspects, the contribution of roughness in lubricated contacts is ... Read More
Fouling accumulation in pipelines is a known problem in industry which is currently treated by mechanical, hydraulic and chemical means. Each requiring a halt in the production to carry out the procedure. Industry requires a method that is non-invasive and can be used in-situ, Ultrasonic ... Read More
Even though sonochemical reactors have been studied extensively for decades, there is limited data on their characterization when the volume of the sample is fixed. The Acoustics Module and COMSOL Multiphysics® software are used to resolve the pressure field. The validated numerical ... Read More
