Although the Hertz theory describes the contact mechanics between an elastic sphere and an elastic half-space for static loading and small deformations very well, there is a need to consider the density of the medium, the mass of the sphere and the radiation damping for dynamic loading to obtain reliable results. In this study, an analytical model for predicting the small and large displacements of a sphere on an elastic half-space exposed to a dynamic force is developed. For this purpose, after summarizing a mathematical model that has recently been proposed for the sphere at a medium interface, a finite element model for the sphere at an elastic interface is developed. Based on the comparison of the mathematical and finite element models, an improved analytical model for the sphere at an elastic interface is developed. In addition to considering the elastic properties of the medium and the size of the sphere, the model developed here takes into account the density of the medium, the mass of the sphere, and the radiation damping, and the model is valid for small and large sphere displacements. The developed model can be used to understand the dynamic responses of spherical objects at medium interfaces in practical applications. Furthermore, the proposed model is a remarkable tool for undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in the fields of engineering, materials science and physics to gain insight into the dynamic responses of spheres at medium interfaces. © 2021 European Physical Society.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Application of Ultrasonic Vibrations for Minimization of the Accumulation of Limescale in Steam Irons(Elsevier, 2018-06-01) Körük, Hasan; Şanlıtürk, Kenan Yüce; Serenli, MuzafferThe accumulation of limescale in steam irons can significantly reduce the ironing efficiency. It is this problem that inspired us to introduce ultrasonic vibrations to irons in order to minimize limescale accumulation. This study describes a methodology for designing, modelling and optimizing an iron fitted with an ultrasonic exciter in an attempt to minimize limescale accumulation. In our methodology, first, an experimental demonstration of the potential benefits of ultrasonic vibrations in steam irons was conducted, using two existing irons, one of which was equipped with an ultrasonic exciter. Having confirmed the benefits, an experimental iron was designed and then optimized to maximise ultrasonic vibrations using finite element analyses within a predefined frequency range. To validate the results of the finite element analyses, a prototype iron base was built, and forced vibrations of this prototype, at ultrasonic frequencies ranging from 35 to 40 kHz, were measured using a laser vibrometer. The results of the theoretical and experimental vibration analyses as well as the physical experiments on the steam irons indicate that it is possible for ultrasonic vibrations to be utilized in irons to minimize the accumulation of limescale.
