Abstract: Ultrasonic vibration(UV) assisted plastic forming technology, which has the characteristics of reducing forming load, improving contact condition and upgrading quality of workpieces, is a new special energy-assisted plastic forming technology. In UV assisted plastic forming technology, the UV system and its theory and method of resonance design has a significant influence for the quality of the workpieces. This paper reviews three parts as follows:Firstly, the current status of research on the theory and methods of resonant design of UV systems and their applications. Secondly, the current status of the development of UV systems with single excitation one-dimensional, single excitation multi-dimensional, multi-excitation one-dimensional and multi-excitation multi-dimensional UV modes. Finally, the existing UV assisted drawing, UV assisted deep drawing, UV assisted extrusion and UV assisted rolling and other UV assisted plastic forming technology principle and characteristics. In addition, this paper points out the problems of UV systems and its applications. On the one hand, there are the problems of poor system stability and low accuracy of prediction of limit operating state in UV systems with large load conditions, complex structures and multidimensionality. On the other hand, in UV assisted plastic forming technology, there are problems such as large ultrasonic energy loss and insignificant effect due to irrational ultrasonic arrangement and insufficient power. Finally, the development direction of UV assisted plastic forming technology is prospected from the application of advanced design analysis tools such as artificial intelligence, the manufacture of high-power UV system and the development of new technology of multi-excitation coupled UV assisted plastic forming.
