Abstract:A mid-frequency tonpilz transducer array was designed and analyzed by finite element method using commercial ATILA code and constructed using piezoceramic rings with lead magnesium niobate (PMN)-lead titanate (PT) composition. The morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) 0.675Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.325PbTiO3 composition was chosen to obtain higher performance from the transducer due to the superior dielectric and electromechanical properties of the MPB compositions. A pure perovskite phase was obtained from the ceramics.… Show more
“…The impact of surface geometry that is in contact with water on the radiation pattern was discussed by Roh et al [11]. Recently MerveNur et al designed a seven element array of Tonpilz transducer with hexagonal radiating head and PMN-PT piezoceramics as driving stack [12].…”
