Al-Sarraf__'A_Study_of_Ultrasonic_Metal_Welding'_(thesis_2013).pdf Woo et al [49] conducted a theoretical study of an acoustic horn which was excited by high ultrasonic power. The optimal dimensions of the horn were investigated in order to achieve high vibration. p. 20 [49] = J. Woo, Y. Roh, K. Kang, and S.
