Abstract:
Ultrasound technology has become an important aspect in material handling and machining. Standing and traveling
ultrasonic waves have been applied in powder transportation, feeding, dosing and supply of small amounts of
powder with high quantitative accuracy and precision. Piezoelectric actuators are the most commonly used to
generate the ultrasonic waves in various devices. Hence, these devices have presented a unique, economic and
simple means of accurate handling of powder. This paper describes the determination of the resonant frequency of a
piezoelectric ring that can be applied for generation of the ultrasonic waves. The resonant frequency is important in
determining the highest amplitude of the vibration of the ring.
