Abstract
Flexural disk transducers are used as underwater sources for low‐frequency sound. The large displacements needed for low‐frequency sound generation requires that the backing material for the radiating disks be very compliant. The radiating disks are quite compliant and are susceptible to breakage when a pressure differential exists between the radiating face and the backing face of the disks. Hence for underwater applications flexural disks are usually pressure compensated to keep the pressure in the backing material equal to the ambient hydrostatic pressure. a passive pressure compensation system has been developed and incorporated into a 16‐in.‐diam. double‐trilaminar flexural disk. The transducer system has been tested at Lake Pend O'Reille, Idaho, by Naval Undersea Center and Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
