Piezoelectric Electromechanical Transducers for Underwater Sound, Part III & IVAuthor(s): Boris S. Aronov\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Academic Studies Press, United States\nImprint: Academic Studies Press\nISBN-13: 9781644698235, 978-1644698235\nSynopsis\nThe book presents a broad-scope analysis of piezoelectric\nelectromechanical transducers and the related aspects of practical transducer\ndesign for underwater applications. It uses an energy method for analyzing\ntransducer problems that provides the physical insight important for the\nunderstanding of electromechanical devices. Application of the method is first\nillustrated with transducer examples that can be modeled as systems with a\nsingle degree of freedom, (such as spheres, short cylinders, bars and flexural\ndisks and plates made of piezoelectric ceramics). Thereupon, transducers are\nmodeled as devices with multiple degrees of freedom. In all these cases,\nresults of modeling are presented in the form of equivalent .
