Low-Frequency Flextensional Piezoelectric Underwater Transmitter with Displacement Amplifier
Summary :
A fiextensional transmitter with a hinge-lever displacement amplifier has been developed. Investigation reults for the transmitter are reported. The transmitter has a two-stage displacement amplifier. The first-stage amplifier consists of a hinge-lever mechanism. The second-stage amplifier is a tapered oval shell. An electro-mechano-acoustical equivalent circuit is derived for the transmitter. The transmitter was designed, based on the equivalent circuit, and fabricated. For only the shell part, a modal analysis by a finite element method was applied and equivalent circuit constants were calculated. Transmitter dimensions are 36 cm in diameter and 25 cm in depth. The actually obtained resonant frequency is 400 Hz, and the mechanical quality factor is 6.2. A 188 dB source level re 1 µPa at 1 meter was obtained.
