A thin film rotating sputtering system is presented for fabrication of a circular cylindrical shell (CCS). The length, diameter, and thickness of the CCS are 5.0 mm, 1.5 mm, and 25 mum, respectively. To investigate the vibration characteristics, the CCS is fabricated on the outer surface of a piezoelectric ceramic tube (PCT). The vibration of PCT excited by driving voltage signals causes the vibration of the CCS, and the vibration characteristics can be measured using a laser Doppler vibrometer system. Furthermore, a finite element method (FEM) simulation and 2 analytical calculation methods are proposed for comparison with the measurement results. The frequency factor, the key factor that dominates the effective ranges of the 2 analytical methods, is determined as a value of 0.92 through a series of discussions. Combining the results of the 2 analytical calculation methods, good agreement of the analytical, FEM, and measurement results is obtained.

This study investigates the optimal design and operation of an underwater ultrasonic system for algae removal, focusing on the electromechanical load of Langevin-type piezoelectric transducers. These piezoelectric transducers, which operate in underwater environments, exhibit variations in electrical-mechanical impedance due to practical environmental factors, such as waterproof molding structures or variations in pressure and flow rates depending on the water depth. To address these challenges, we modeled the underwater load conditions using the finite element method and analyzed the impedance characteristics of the piezoelectric transducer under realistic environmental conditions.

Synchronous vibrations, which are caused by periodic excitations, can have a severe impact on the service life of impellers. Blade Tip Timing (BTT) is a promising technique for monitoring synchronous vibrations due to its non-intrusive nature and ability to monitor all blades at once. BTT generally employs a Once-per-Revolution (OPR) sensor that is mounted on the shaft for blade identification and deflection calculation.
