High-Intensity Ultrasonics

<p>Presenting a comprehensive description of the theory and physics of high-intensity ultrasound this book also deals with a wide range of problems associated with the industrial applications of ultrasound mainly in the areas of metallurgy and mineral processing. <br>The book is divided into three sections and Part I introduces the reader to the theory and physics of high-intensity ultrasound. Part II considers the design of ultrasonic generators mechanoacoustic radiators and other vibrational systems as well as the control of acoustic parameters when vibrations are passed into a processed medium. Finally Part III describes problems associated with various uses of high-intensity ultrasound in metallurgy. The applications of high-intensity ultrasound for metal shaping thermal and thermochemical treatment welding cutting refining and surface hardening are also discussed here. <br>This comprehensive monograph will provide an invaluable source of information which has been largely unavailable in the West until now.</p>
