On the use of a rounded sonotrode for the welding of thermoplastic composites

Continuous ultrasonic welding is an attractive welding technique for thermoplastic composite structures. In this process, a metallic sonotrode connected to a piezoelectric transducer and to a press moves along the parts to be welded applying ultrasonic vibrations and a static welding force on the we...
