  • In this research, with the FEM we analyzed the variation of the sound pressure and thermal distribution of a Class IV Flextensional transducer in relation to its material properties and structures. Based on the results, we determined optimal structure of a Class IV Flextensional transducer that had maximum sound pressure, minimum thermal distribution, and 1 kHz resonance frequency. The sound pressure by the optimal structure is higher than that of the basic structure by two times, and the thermal distribution is much lower. Results of the present work can be utilized to design Class IV Flextensional transducers of various resonance frequency, maximum sound pressure, and minimum thermal distribution.

  • 본 연구에서는 Class IV Flextensional 트랜스듀서의 구조를 설정하고, 여러 형상 및 물성 변수들이 공진 트랜스듀서의 주파수에 미치는 영향을 유한 요소법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 그 결과 공진 주파수에 영향을 가장 많이 미치는 것은 장축 길이, 단축 길이, 쉘의 두께,쉘의 물성 변수이다. 반면에 Insert의 부피, 세라믹 적층의 물성과 두께는 상대적으로 적은 영향을 미치고, Nodal-plate의 두께는 공진 주파수와 무관한 경향을 나타내었다. 다음으로 위 연구결과를 바탕으로 수중에서 중심 주파수 1 kHz를 가지는 트랜스듀서를 유한 요소 모델로 제작하여 음압을 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는, 다양한 중심 주파수를 가지는 Class IV Flextensional 트랜스듀서를 구현함에 있어 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • We constructed a class Ⅳ Flextensional transducer, and analyzed the effects of the variation in its material properties and structure on the resonance frequency of the transducer. We used the FEM for the analysis. Major axis length, minor axis length, thickness and material properties of the shell turned out to have large effects, while volume of the insert material, material properties and thickness of the ceramic bar have little. Thickness of the nodal-plate has no effect on the resonance frequency. Results of the present work can be utilized to design Class W Flextensional transducers of various resonance frequency.

  • The cymbal transducer is a miniaturized version of the Class V flextensional transducer. It has low resonant frequency and high output pressure characteristics compared with its size. However, since it has high quality factor and low energy conversion efficiency as well, it is often used as an array rather than single. When used as an array, a big change in the frequency characteristics occurs in comparison with that of the single transducer due to the interaction between constituent transducers. In this study, we designed a pattern of cymbal array with a view to having broadband characteristics. Three transducers having different center frequencies were designed first. The designed cymbal transducers were used to construct all possible patterns of a 3 × 3 planar array. After analyzing frequency characteristics of these patterns, based on the results, we derived the most effective pattern to achieve a higher fractional bandwidth. The derived array pattern showed an improvement of the fractional bandwidth by 24.9 % in comparison with the reference model.

  • The performance of a barrel stave flextensional transducer is determined by the properties of its constituent materials and the effects of many structural parameters. In this study, with the finite element method, the structure of a barrel stave flextensional transducer was optimized to achieve the widest bandwidth while satisfying the requirements on pressure and center frequency. The optimization was carried out with the SQP-PD method for multi-variable minimization. The optimized barrel stave flextensional transducer satisfied all the required specifications.

  • The performance of an acoustic transducer is determined by the effects of many design variables. and mostly the influences of these design variables are not linearly independent of each other To achieve the optimal performance of an acoustic transducer, we must consider the cross-coupled effects of the design variables. In this study with the FEM. we analyzed the variation of the resonance frequency and sound pressure of a flextensional transducer in relation to Its design variables. Through statistical multiple regression analysis of the results, we derived functional forms of the resonance frequency and sound pressure in terms of the design variables, and with which we determined the optimal structure of the transducer by means of a constrained optimization technique, SQP-PD. The proposed method can reflect all the cross-coupled effects of multiple design variables, and can be utilized to the design of general acoustic transducers.

  • This paper describes the development of a piezoelectric flextensional transducer, which aims to effectively degrade the TCE contained in aqueous solution. In order to adjust the 1st flextensional resonant frequency and output displacement of the flextensional transducer, the effect of the geometrical variations on performance was analyzed using the finite element analysis (FEM). The results indicated that the effect of external shell's thickness and curvature were most significant, and experimental fabrication and characterization of a transducer was performed to confirm the results. To prove the capacity to degrade the TCE contained in aqueous solution, 50 and 100 ppm of TCE were prepared in sealed chamber, and investigated the removal rate of TCE through the time and initial concentration.
