Hi Dr. Chris Cheers,
I'm an Italian student at Politecnico di Milano.
For my final work (thesis) I am investigating the relationship between frequency and quality of ultrasonic welding of metals.
To do this I've to build a magnetostrictive transducer+sonotrode to be tested at different frequencies.
Do you know where I can find informations about dimensioning the different parts of the transducer (diameter of wire, current, dimensions of the pieces of magnetostrictive (Fe-Co) matherial) and sonotrode (something like an old project for a tranducer)?
Forgive my poor English.
Thanks.
