Abstract
An ultrasonic auger was designed, manufactured, and tested in glass microspheres to investigate force and torque reducing effects upon application of high-powered ultrasonic vibration. It was found that whilst vibration had no effect on overhead force during rotary augering, the torque was reduced by up to 30%, depending on amplitude of vibration.
