Hi everyone,
I was digging around more and saw this explanation on the data sheet of the ultrasonic blade manufacturer. It said that "Because the horn (the blade) is vibrating at such a high frequency, it disrupts the air molecules around it causing a cocoon effect. This cocoon effect virtually...
Sorry if this is a dumb question. Are you suggesting that when it vibrates so fast, it is more of a dynamic friction coefficient in the instantaneous moment? The blade is always moving downward when cutting, but the oscillation seems to somehow affect the friction coefficient. Not super well...
Hi everyone!
Sorry if I'm not able to work through this problem very much myself... I'm a Food Science student, and I'm trying to read an article about ultrasonic cutting when applied to apple slicing. From the papers they reference, the rapid vibrations on the blade reduce the friction...
