Abstract

See full text

The invention is a method and apparatus for ultrasound excitation of structures of any geometry. The invention comprises production of a connection between a generator, an ultrasound converter, and at least one mechanical system to be excited, passing through a frequency range for determining an operating point, wherein at each approached frequency the power consumption of the system to be excited determines a current, and/or a voltage emitted by the generator, which is measured using a sensor such that a measurement value of the sensor renders the power output to the system to be excited, and performing an ultrasound excitation at the determined operating point or its immediate surroundings. The device further comprises a memory for storing target values for the power supplied to the total system input, and of parameter values for voltage, current, and frequency, in which the desired target values or ranges are achieved.
