Ultrasonic horn contact-induced transient anharmonic resonance effect on vibro-thermography

G. Kolappan Geetha et al.

Summary: In this study, new insights are presented into the spatial localization of anharmonic caused by impact-separation contact dynamics in a cavity-like feature. Different nonlinear anharmonics are identified using various models and simulations, revealing that super-harmonics and sub-super harmonics are generated when the target structure resonates precisely and with a slight mistuning, respectively. The response amplitude and energy in the primary excitation frequency are reduced due to energy partitioning, and the ratios of Power Spectral Density (PSD) of anharmonics to that of primary excitation decrease linearly and quadratically with decreasing separation distance and relative amplitude, respectively.
