Experimental modal analysis (EMA) of ultrasonic waveguides is important for many applications including design of ultrasonic surgical tools. However, most of the known sensors and instruments for measuring parameters of ultrasonic vibrations are limited to the measurements on the face surface of the ultrasonic waveguide and therefore unable to determine the spatial distribution of the parameters along its length, which in turn makes it difficult to identify natural modes and shapes. The article describes EMA of ultrasonic surgical waveguides based on the effect of inverse magnetostriction. During vibration of an ultrasonic waveguide the inverse magnetostriction generates alternating magnetic field which can be detected by means of an induction coil. Spatial resolution of the measurements can be achieved by application of the sensors with flat (spiral) induction coils. The sensors used in the study have simple design and low cost making them affordable for wide circle of scientists and engineers. The results of experimental studies implemented on exemplary waveguide for ultrasonic angioplasty made of AISI 321 steel are presented and discussed. The article also discusses the methods for theoretical and experimental determination of the sensitivity of the sensors used in the study. Experimental data are validated by comparing them to the results of computer-aided modal analysis using the finite element method (FEM) and found to be in good agreement with the results of FEM modeling (relative deviation of the vibratory displacements amplitude is about 4.7 %). As it follows from the experimental data and their comparison to the results of FEM modeling, the effect of inverse magnetostriction can be efficiently used for EMA of ultrasonic waveguides.
