Reduction of the duration of pulses emitted by a thin-walled piezoceramic cylinder with the use of a correcting electric circuit

Abstract

On the basis of an electric circuit’s analog of a thin-walled cylindrical piezoceramic transducer connected with an electric circuit, the shapes of the pulses emitted into water are calculated. The optimal circuit’s parameters that provide the minimal pulse’s duration are calculated for different values of the cylinder height and relative wall’s thickness. The possibility to considerably reduce the emitted pulse’s duration is demonstrated, and specific results of numerical calculations are presented.
