A piezoelectric flextentional sonar transducer has been simulated using a coupled FE-BEM. The dynamics of the sonar transducer is modelled in three dimensions and is analyzed with external electrical excitation conditions. Different results are available such as steady-state displacement modes, underwater directivity patterns, resonant frequencies, bandwidths, quality factors, output acoustic powers and transmitting voltage responses. It is shown that the present barrel-stave sonar transducer of the piezoelectric material produces flextentional displacements which could be related with higher output power, lower quality factor and more omnidirectional beam pattern than other types of sonar transducers. The results of the present sonar transducer modelling are also compared with those of a commercial package such as ATILA.

In this paper, dynamic pressure is mainly generated in the closed chamber of gun when the propellant is fired and has exponential pressure motion. Dynamic pressure calibrator with positive step pressure was designed and manufactured to meet the calibration of piezoelectric high pressure transducers which are mainly used to measure dynamic pressure motion in the test of weapon systems. In addition, the results of Performance test and analysis of system uncertainty are provided.
