The balanced armature receiver (BAR) is a product based on multiphysics that enables coupling between the electromagnetic, mechanical, and acoustic domains. The three domains were modeled using the lumped parameter method (LPM) that takes advantage of an equivalent circuit. In addition, the combined finite element method (FEM) and boundary element method (BEM) was also applied to analyze the BAR. Both simulation results were verified against experimental results. The proposed LPM can predict the sound pressure level (SPL) by making use of the BAR parts dimension and material property. In addition, the previous analysis method, FEM/BEM, took 36 h, while the proposed LPM takes 1 h. So the proposed LPM can be used to check the BAR parts’ dimension and material property influence on the SPL and develop the BAR product efficiently.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
