Abstract

The cylindrical radial composite piezoelectric ceramic transducer is presented and studied. The transducer consists of an inner radially polarized piezoelectric ceramic thin-walled circular tube and an outer metal thin-walled cylindrical shell which are composed in the radial direction. The radial vibrations of a metal thin-walled cylindrical shell and a piezoelectric ceramic thin-walled circular tube are analyzed. Their radial electro-mechanical equivalent circuits are obtained. Based on the equivalent circuits and the radial boundary conditions, the composite electro-mechanical equivalent circuit of a cylindrical radial composite piezoelectric ceramic transducer is obtained, the resonance frequency and anti-resonance frequency equations of the cylindrical radial composite piezoelectric transducer are derived. Then the relationship between the resonance frequency, the anti-resonance frequency, the effective electro-mechanical coupling coefficient and the geometrical dimensions of the cylindrical radial composite piezoelectric ceramic transducer is analyzed. It is illustrated that the resonance frequencies and the anti-resonance frequencies from the frequency equations are in a good agreement with that of the experimental results.
