Modal simulation analysis of novel 3D elliptical ultrasonic transducer

[摘要] This paper aims to present the modal simulation analysis results of a novel 3D elliptical ultrasonic transducer. This research aims to develop a novel elliptical transducer that works in ultrasonic and is able to generate a three dimensional motion in Cartesian space. The concept of the transducer design is basically to find a coupling frequency of the longitudinal-bending-bending mode. To achieve that purpose, the modal simulation analysis was performed to find a proper dimension of the transducer, thus the natural frequency of the 1stlongitudinal mode is much closed with the two of natural frequency of the 3rdbending mode. The finite element modelling (FEM) was used to perform this work.
