Energy transfer mechanism in ultrasonic impact and its single-cycle equivalent experimental methodology.
Article in Ultrasonics sonochemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ultrasonic impact treatment is extensively employed to improve the surface quality and fatigue performance of engineered components. However, existing methodologies are limited by their inability to accurately characterize the transient behavior within a single impact cycle, which hinders the development of theoretically grounded parameter optimization. This paper investigates the stress wave propagation mechanism during single-cycle of ultrasonic impact and proposes an equivalent impact experimental analysis method for single-cycle ultrasonic impact treatment grounded in one-dimensional impact stress wave theory. The key innovation lies in decoupling the complex high-frequency process into a controllable single-cycle event based on a rigorously derived energy equivalence principle. An energy transfer model based on stress wave propagation was established, and the equivalence conditions for the impact parameters were subsequently derived. Complementary finite element models of ultrasonic impact treatment and equivalent impact treatment were constructed. Validation was performed via an equivalent impact test platform using 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy and 45# steel. The stress wave history curve measured in the equivalent impact test closely replicates the theoretical ultrasonic impact curve, with errors in maximum amplitude and pulse width within 4.4% and 5.4% respectively. Comparison between simulation and equivalent impact test results reveals maximum depth and diameter errors below 3.7% and 7% respectively, with maximum residual stress error below 5.5% and hardness errors within 5.2% at different orientations. Electron Backscatter Diffraction analysis confirms highly consistent grain size distribution between the two techniques. This study lays a theoretical foundation for the visual investigation into the mechanism of ultrasonic impact and offers new insights for the exploration of various ultrasonic-based processes.
