Piezo-Pyro-Shock Simulator
This simulator will be on display at the ONR conference May 11-13, 2010. The ignition of a pyro charge is used in launchers and space craft to
separate structural subsystems or in ammunitions in a destructive way. It crucial to know the reaction of mechanical structures experiencing such impacts
with regard to potential damages and functional failures. Careful testing of
mechanical, electronic or optical components with respect to high g - transient
excitation is therefore a must. With the increasing degree of miniaturization,
with its specific high frequency eigenmodes, the need for high frequency containing
transient excitation of structures became important. Custom designed elements are required in such systems and systems in use at this time are used for research and development purposes.
Benefits of Piezo Shockers- High g-rates
- High reproducibility of pulse shape
- High repetition rates
- High power shaker operation when using a harmonic input signal
- Variable shock-response-spectrum by using other beam shapes or changing the position of the shock generator

UIA Symposium
Boasts Strong International Participation
The
39th Annual UIA Symposium held in Cambridge, MA, included 80
participants from 48 organizations representing 11 countries. The program
included one day of industrial presentations, two workshops, a poster session
and a day of medical presentations.  Both the Newcomers to Ultrasonics Workshop and the Finite Element Modelling
Workshop were highly rated by symposium participants. Keynote
presentations by Avi Benetar, The Ohio State University on Servo-Driven
Ultrasonic Welding of Semi-Crystalline Thermoplastics and Robin Cleveland,
Boston University on Medical Applications of Shock Waves provided
fascinating information on diverse ultrasonic applications. Protease Inactivation in Milk by Thermosonication and Impact on Milk
Characteristics by Sakthi Vijayakumar, David Grewell, Stephanie Jung,
Stephanie Clark, Iowa State University represented an evolving ultrasonic
application. Propagating Ultrasound Energy Through a Catheter Around
Bends by David Constantine, James
Sheehan and Jeffrey Vaitekunas presented a unique medical ultrasound
application. An electronic copy of the proceedings on a flash-drive pen is available for $95
from UIA by emailing uia@ultrasonics.org
The 40th UIA Symposium will be held in Glasgow, Scotland, UK on 23 -
25 May 2011. Professor Margaret Lucas, University of Glasgow, will serve
as the Symposium Chair. For a copy of the Call for Presentations, go to www.ultrasonics.org or contact UIA at
+1.937.586.3725. Dr. Ron Staut, of APC International, Ltd. was re-elected to the position of Treasurer for the UIA.Links to Ultrasonic Learning Materials on the UIA Website Issues of the UIA Newsletter Vibrations
