【 摘 要 】

This paper presents an arc broadband piezoelectric composite vibrator and its transducer array. The arc broadband piezoelectric composite vibrator was fabricated by 1-3 piezoelectric composite with matching layer and was prepared by the curved forming process. The vibration characteristics of a new vibrator were simulated via finite element analysis (FEA) and investigated by experiment. First, the acoustic impedance and thickness of the optimized matching layer were determined by theoretical analysis. Second, the arc piezoelectric vibrator was modeled and simulated in air conditions by the FEA method, and the variation law of resonant frequency was analyzed. Finally, the fabrication process of the arc broadband piezoelectric composite vibrator and its transducer array was studied, and the experimental sample was fabricated and measured. The bandwidth of the arc broadband transducer array was found to be up to 56.5 kHz. Results show that the experimental results were in accordance with the simulation results and have good directivity to realize the purpose of bandwidth and beam expansion.
