Formulas for estimating length of sonotrode depending on its shape_

Sonotrode shape First resonance length
Cylindrical L = C 2 f L\hspace{.25em}=\hspace{.25em}\frac{C}{2f} [41]
Stepped cylindrical L = k 1 c 4 f + k 2 c 4 f L\hspace{.25em}={k}_{1}\hspace{.25em}\frac{c}{4f}+{k}_{2}\frac{c}{4f} [42]
Exponential L = C 2 f 1 + ln D 1 D 2 π 2 L\hspace{.25em}=\frac{C}{2f}\sqrt{1+{\left(\frac{\text{ln}\left(\frac{{D}_{1}}{{D}_{2}}\right)}{\pi }\right)}^{2}}\hspace{.25em} [43]
Conical L = 2 c  atan ( 2 π f c α ) 2 π f L\hspace{.25em}=\hspace{.25em}\frac{2c\text{ atan}\left(\frac{2\pi f}{c\alpha }\right)}{2\pi f} [44]
where

k 1, k 2 represent coefficients depending on the cross-sectional area (for simplicity, they are taken equal to unity),

D 1, D 2 represent the diameter of the attachment surface and working surface,

α is the angle of inclination of the outline formers with respect to the axis.
