Study on the step-type circular ring ultrasonic concentrator in radial vibration.
In this paper, the plane radial vibration of an isotropic metal thin circular rings is studied and its equivalent circuit model is obtained. Based on the equivalent circuit model, the step-type circular ring concentrator consisting of two metal thin circular rings in radial vibration is analyzed. Its compound equivalent circuit is derived and the resonance frequency equation is obtained. The relationship between the resonance frequency, the radial displacement amplitude magnification and the geometrical dimensions is analyzed. The resonance frequency of the step-type radial concentrator is calculated based on the resonance frequency equation. For comparison, the resonance frequency of the step-type radial concentrator is also obtained by using numerical method. It is illustrated that the resonance frequencies from these two methods are in a good agreement with each other.
