Abstract:
Three-dimensional coupled vibration of the composite cylindrical piezoelectric transducer is analyzed. The composite cylindrical piezoelectric transducer consists of an inner axially polarized piezoelectric ceramic cylinder and an outer metal cylinder with the same height. Coupled vibration of the composite cylindrical piezoelectric transducer is analyzed by equivalent elasticity method, which is an approximate analytical approach. According to this method, coupled vibration of the cylindrical transducer is regarded as an interaction between a plane radial vibration and a longitudinal vibration. The radial and longitudinal electromechanical equivalent circuits of the piezoelectric transducer are acquired. Input impedances as functions of the resonance frequency and the mechanical coupling coefficient are derived to obtain resonance frequency equations. The analytical results are supported by experimental and numerical simulated results of two prototypes of the piezoelectric transducer. The composite cylindrical piezoelectric transducer presented in this paper is superior to single cylindrical piezoelectric transducers, composite ring-type, and tube-type transducers in the field of high output power and efficiency.
