Therefore, acoustic pressure in the optical path everywhere can be determined absolutely by laser-interferometric technique and relative distribution of pressure in the middle and far acoustic field, which can be obtained from theory or experiment respectively. Theory and experiment of measurement of pressure in acoustic field with laser-interferometer are introduced. Distribution of pressure radiated by a power ultrasonic transducer is determined by laser interferometric technique. The theoretical and experimental results are in good agreement. The receiving sensitivity of a PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) transducer in free field is also calibrated absolutely due to above results and its sensitivity is -118.5 dB.展开更多

The Omega transducer is separated into four parts treated respectively as a thin shell of revolution and the theories of thin shells of revolution and piezoelectricity are used to obtain the energy functional of each part so that the sum of the energy functionals of the four parts is the energy functional of the whole Omega transducer. By substituting the shape functions with undetermined coefi3cients and the geo- metrical boundary conditions into the energy functional of the Omega transducer, the resonant frequency of the Omega transducer is firstly determined with the Rayleigh-Ritz method. With the gotten resonant frequency, the constant coefficients of the shape functions are following solved through the Rayleigh-Ritz partial differential equations and the geometrical boundary condition equations. The solving method of the resonant frequency and the shape functions is also extended to the cymbal transducer. Such an analytical method is verified to be feasible by the results of the finite element analysis and experiments. The research indicates that (1) The radial vibration of the piezoelectric ceramic is in phase with the longitudinal vibration of the top of metal cap, and it cut down the reversed phase component in the sound field. The Omega transducer can be a low frequency transducer. (2) The determination method of the resonant frequency and the shape functions give a solution to the optimum designs of the Omega transducer and the cymbal transducer. (3) The determination method of the resonant fi'equency and the shape functions can also be used in other flextensional transducers or other structures which are composed of thin shells of revolution, so it is universal.展开更多

It finds that the lateral field excitation coupling factor for amode (quasi-extensional mode) reaches its maximum value of 28% on Xmcut LiNbO3. The characteristics of a lateral field excitation device made of X-cut LiNbO3 have been investigated and the lateral field excitation device is used for the design of a high frequency ultrasonic transducer. The time and frequency domain pulse/echo response of the LiNbO3 lateral field excitation ultrasonic transducer is analysed with the modified Krimholtz-Leedom-Matthae model and tested using traditional pulse/echo method. A LiNbO3 lateral field excitation ultrasonic transducer with the centre frequency of 33.44 MHz and the -6 dB bandwidth of 33.8% is acquired, which is in good agreement with the results of the Krimholtz-Leedom-Matthae model. Further analysis suggests that the LiNbO3 lateral field excitation device has great potential in the design of broadband high frequency ultrasonic transducers.展开更多
