Design of High Power Ultrasonic Transducers for Use in Macrosonics

  • Conference paper
Power Sonic and Ultrasonic Transducers Design

Abstract

In numerous industrial applications, the ultrasonic waves play an important part in the modification of the medium in which they are propagating : machining, cleaning, welding, extrusion… The transducers used are classical sandwich transducers undertaking a dilational vibration, the acoustical energy being transmitted to the medium by various coupling devices. The main difficulties which are encountered by the designer from the Acoustics point of view are :

  • the power limitations due to mechanical, electrical and thermal effects,

  • the accurate determination of the resonance frequencies and of the vibration amplitudes,

  • the three dimensional geometry of various structures, and mainly of the coupling devices,

  • the bearings.
