This paper develops an analysis model of a piezoelectric transducer. The transducer considered in this paper is a bolt-clamped Langevin-type transducer, which consists of a couple of piezoelectric discs, a couple of metal blocks for added mass effect, and a bolt to tighten them. A new analytical model for the transducer has been developed by taking into account the contact area between the piezoelectric ceramic and the metal block. The analysis model is verified by calculating the variations of the resonance frequency due to the contact area and comparing them with reported experimental results.

As pressure transducers are employed in many fields such as production facilities, test facilities vehicles and industrial machinery, there is an increasing need for high precision measurement of pressure without any calibration or maintenance. In this paper, we discuss the development of a smart thin film pressure transducer which is highly suitable for a precise measurement of pressure. The smart functions include automatic zero tracking, automatic span adjustment, temperature compenstion, continuous self-diagnostics for faults (open strain gages, abnormal data, incorrect A/D conversion, and overpressure), data memory and multi-drop communication with PC

The Bourdon tube pressure gauge is the most widely used primary detector for pressure in various kinds of fields recently. However in many cases lots of difficulties are encountered in telemetering, measuring the continuously changing pressure and recording as time goes by, etc. In this paper a Bourdon tube of flat-oval section is considered. On the basis of Wolf's theory, the very sensitive places are selected on the tube and full bridge arrangement is used. Then all of the characteristics are examined in order to use the pressure transducer practically into which the pressure gauge is converted. From the results, the error in meter reading is about $\pm$3% F.S., on the other hand, when measured with strain gauge, the error is within $\pm$1% F.S.. Also external acceleration on Bourdon tube hardly affect practical use.

The static pressure distribution and flow characteristics inside the high-pressure swirl spray were investigated by measuring the static pressure inside the spray and applying the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The static pressure difference between inner and outer part of spray was measured at different axial locations and operating conditions using a piezo-resislive pressure transducer. To obtain the qualitative value of swirl motion at different operating conditions, the spray impact-pressure at the nozzle exit was measured using a piezo-electric pressure transducer, and the flow angle was measured using a microscopic imaging system. The flow characteristics inside the high pressure swirl spray was simulated by the 1-phase 3-dimensional CFD model. The effect of pressure alternations on spray development was discussed with macroscopic spray images and a mathematical liquid film model. The results showed that the static pressure drop is observed inside the swirl spray as a result of the dragged air motion and the centrifugal force of the air. The recirculation vortex inside the spray was also observed inside the swirl spray as a result of the adverse pressure gradient along the axial locations. The results of analytical liquid film model and macroscopic spray images showed that the static pressure structure is one of the main parameters affecting the swirl spray development.

Tonpilz 트랜스듀서를 FEM 시뮬레이션인 COMSOL의 structural module을 이용하여 구현하였다. 트랜스듀서의 음압 특성과 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교하기 위하여 acoustic module을 이용하여 형성된 음압의 공간적인 분포와 실제로 트랜스듀서를 구현하여 마이크로폰으로 측정한 음압 분포를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 공진주파수와 최대 음압은 시뮬레이션의 경우는 28 kHz에서 163.5 dB로 예측되었고 실제 제작된 트랜스듀서에서는 28.84 kHz에서 137.8 dB로 측정되었다. 또한 모사된 음압 분포와 실제로 측정한 음압 분포가 유사한 패턴으로 형성되는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 대표적인 수중 음향 트랜스듀서인 Tonpilz 트랜스듀서에 대하여 설계변수들이 트랜스듀서 성능에 미치는 영향을 유한요소 해석을 통하여 파악하였다. 나아가 그 결과들의 통계적 다중 회귀분석을 통하여 응력 강화 (Stress stiffening) 효과를 고려한 공진 주파수, 대역폭 및 발생 음압을 이들 설계변수들의 함수로 도출한 후, 제한 최적화법인 SQP-PD 방법을 이용해 공진 주파수 30,000 Hz 와 -3dB 대역폭 10% 이상을 가지며 최대 음압을 구현할 수 있는 트랜스듀서의 최적구조를 결정하였다. 또한 SQP-PD 방법에 의한 최적값을 유한요소 해석에 의한 값과 비교함으로써 최적값의 타당성을 검증하였고, 본 연구에서 제시한 설계법이 계산시간의 단축과 높은 정확성을 가짐을 확인하였다.

The implantable middle ear hearing devices(IMEHDs) have been developed to overcome the conventional hearing aid's problem(ringing effect caused by the acoustic feedback, cosmetic problem, etc.). In the IMEHDs, the vibrating transducer is a key component because its vibration enables to hear for hearing impaired people. The vibrating transducer is implanted on ossicular chain by surgical operation. The coupling status between implanted transducer and ossicular chain has an effect on delivering vibrating force from transducer to stapes. Noninvasive method is required to investigate the output characteristics of IMEHDs after implementation. Recently, emitted sound pressure measuring method of tympanic membrane is proposed to investigate the output characteristics of IMEHDs. However, the relationship between displacement of stapes and sound pressure by tympanic membrane was not cleared. In this paper, displacement of stapes and sound pressure by tympanic membrane were measured using the differential floating mass transducer(DFMT) that implanted on the ossicular chain of the human temporal bone and physical ear model. Through the experiments results, the relationship between displacement of stapes and sound pressure by tympanic membrane was investigated.

This paper describes the simulation of a micromachined dome-shaped-diaphragm acoustic transducer built on a $1.5{\mu}m$ thick silicon nitride diaphragm ($2,000{\mu}m$ in radius, with a circular clamped boundary on a silicon substrate) with electrodes and piezoelectric ZnO film in a silicon substrate. Finite element analysis with ANSYS 5.6 has been performed to analyze the static and dynamic behaviors of the transducer under both pressure and voltage loadings.

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.

Higher directivity acoustic transducer using the self-demodulation effect was fabricated. The structure of transducer was designed such as dimension and support type of the piezoelectric element, the vibrating metal plate, and the housing case. Based on the design, the transducer was fabricated and measured its acoustic characteristics. Also, AM modulated driving circuit was designed for using the self-demodulation effect. The piezoelectric sounder with 200kHz resonant frequency and 20kHz bandwidth was designed by considering the sharp directivity and the sound pressure. The design and fabrication method worked in this study can be utilized in development of various speakers with higher directivity and broader bandwidth.
