Abstract
Of concern are the generation and detection of sound by piezoelectric transducers with nonuniform material properties along the principal axis. It is shown that subject to conditions of distortionless propagation [V. Burke, R. J. Duffin, and D. Hazony, “Distortionless Wave Propagation in Inhomogeneous Media and Transmission Lines,” Q. Appl. Math. 183–194 (July 1976)] it is possible to associate a circuit model with the transducer similar to the Mason model [W. P. Mason, Electromechanical Transducers and Wave Filters (Van Nostrand, New York, 1948)]. This work follows the development of spherical shell piezoelectric transducers [D. Hazony, “Nonuniformly Poled Spherical Shell Piezoelectric Transducers,” J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 81, 1624–1627 (1987)]. [Work supported in part by Tecsonics, Inc.]
