Abstract This paper deals with energy transmission by stress waves in prismatical bars and its possible application in high-speed printers. Theory is reviewed briefly for straight bars, and energy losses caused by cross-sectional impedance mismatch and length mismatch are calculated. In order to check the theory, experiments were conducted on straight bars with theoretically perfect impedance match. In the absence of a theory for curved bars, some experiments were conducted which indicate the possibility of energy transfer with acceptable efficiency.
