Abstract:
This paper presents a numerical method for studying the stress-strain state and obtaining the nonlinear elastic characteristics of longitudinal-transverse transducers. The authors propose a mathematical model that uses a direct numerical solution of the boundary value problem based on the plain curved rod equations in Matlab. The system's stress-strain state and nonlinear elastic characteristic are obtained using the method of successive loadings based on the curved rod's linearized equations. For most ultrasonic instruments, the operating frequency of ultrasonic vibrations is close to 20 kHz. On the other hand, the received own oscillation frequencies are close to the working range. Using the method of successive loadings in the mathematical complex Matlab, a numerical calculation of the stress-strain state of a flat, curved rod at large displacements has been carried out. The proposed model can be considered an initial approximation to the solution of the spatial problem of the longitudinal-torsional transducer.
