Abstract

The role of the finite element method in studying stress/strain/displacement distributions in vibrating structures is discussed with respect to high-power ultrasonic compacting and fatigue testing. The principles of the formulations used to perform the numerical simulations are briefly mentioned. The computed results are compared with those of laboratory experiments in which plates of different geometries were excited to longitudinal vibrations. Taking a rectangular specimen into account allowed additional comparison with an analytical solution of the problem. Thus it was possible to test the reliability and usefulness of the various methods.
