Based on similarity principle, cutting modes of turning, milling, grinding etc are equivalent to three load forms of dot, line and face. And three different loads of dot, line and face are applied on the nano-ZrO2 workpiece by three different indenter models of dot, line and face. To one-dimensional ultrasonic vibration system, the influence is studied which is of different load forms and different load magnitudes on acoustic system characteristics of ultrasonic machining. The experimental results show that, the change of loads has little influence on the acoustic system parameters of ultrasonic machining when the load modes on the nano-ZrO2 workpiece are dot and line. And when the load mode is surface contact, the change of loads has significant influence on the acoustic system parameters of ultrasonic machining.
