Abstract :
The design and construction of a bolt-clamped Langevin type transducer is presented in conjunction with its 3D analysis using finite element analysis (FEA). Results show a good agreement between simulation using FEA and the mechanical adjustment of the transducer to tuned it at the desired operation frequency.
