Modelling of autoresonant control of an ultrasonic transducer for machining applications

The main purpose of this research is an investigation into the different strategies for the autoresonant control of an ultrasonic transducer. Numerical simulations were considered as the most appropriate method for analysis and a Matlab-Simulink computer model of a non-linear ultrasonic vibrating system with the possibility of autoresonant control was developed. The controlled system consists of two modules, the first of which is an electromechanical model of the ultrasonic transducer comprising a piezoelectric transducer and a step concentrator. The second module simulates influence from the machining process. The coefficients of the electromechanical model were calculated through an identification process based on the real measurement of the ultrasonic transducer's vibrations.
