ABSTRACT
Of all devices designed to mechanically amplify
ultrasonic vibrations the stepped horn is apparently
the most efficacious. In addition it has many other
interesting properties. It is the only resonant device
known fin which the resonant frequency can be
changed by a factor of two to one without changing
the over-all dimensions. Furthermore, the numerical
relationship between overtones may easily be
changed. The displacement magnification may also be
varied widely. For certain horn materials Q’s of 25,000
have been achieved.
The results of a mathematical analysis are presented
together with experimental verification.

Abstract
Many of industrial applications and production technologies are based on the application of ultrasound. In many
cases, the phenomenon of ultrasound is also applied in technological processes of the machining of materials. The
main element of equipments that use the effects of ultrasound for machining technology is the ultrasonic horn –
so called sonotrode. The performance of ultrasonic equipment, respectively ultrasonic machining technologies
depends on properly designed of sonotrode shape. The dynamical properties of different geometrical shapes of
ultrasonic horns are presented in this paper. Dependence of fundamental modal properties (natural frequencies,
mode shapes) of various sonotrode shapes for various geometrical parameters is analyzed. Modal analyses of the
models are determined by the numerical simulation using finite element method (FEM) design procedures. The
mutual comparisons of the comparable parameters of the various sonotrode shapes are presented.
