Abstract
An analytical solution is derived for the sound pressure field produced by a cylindrical transducer surrounded by a nonconcentric, circular, shell-type dome. This model represents an improvement over concentric circular dome models previously reported since transmit beams nonsymmetrically incident on the dome can be analyzed. Numerical results indicate two features, (1) the minor lobe structure of the farfield beam patterns is not symmetric relative to the beam axis and is dependent on the eccentricity of the dome and transducer; and (2) oblique incidence of the beam on the dome does not produce beam steering errors, i.e., the maximum response of the beam pattern agrees with the steered direction.
