Development and Prospects of Cymbal Underwater Transducers

Abstract

Abstract:

The development of cymbal transducer as underwater transducer in the later 20 years was studied thoroughly. These developments included vibration modes in water, effect of material and geometry on electromechanical performance, ability for sustaining high hydrostatic pressure, shaping directional beam pattern, adopting new materials and assembling cymbal array. Several theoretical methods used on cymbal were compared and investigated. At last, key points of future development were summed up.

Key words: cymbal transducer, underwater transducer, FEM, equivalent circuit
