    摘要: A oscillator in a liquid includes an actuator element oscillating in a reciprocating manner, and a sound-producing element attached to the actuator element, whereby the actuator element generates a motion in the sound-producing element for producing a sound. The oscillator is made open, whereby the pressure of liquid acts both on a first surface and on a second surface of the wall of the sound-producing element while the sound source is in the liquid. The material and/or structure of the wall of the sound-producing element is provided to be such that the distance between the first surface and the second surface of the wall varies as sound is produced.

    摘要: Flextensional transducers and methods of using flextensional transducers. The transducer includes a piezoelectric element and may include at least one endcap coupled with the piezoelectric element. The endcap may have an outer portion formed of a first material and an inner portion formed of a second material having a greater flexibility than the first material. The endcap may be coupled with an annular piezoelectric element near either its outer circumference or its inner circumference. The piezoelectric element may be a planar disk or have a curved bowl-shape. The transducer may be coupled with, and at least partially restrained by, a support structure. The transducer may also be configured to permit light to pass therethrough.

    摘要: A sound source comprising an actuator element (1) that vibrates in a reciprocating manner such that the distance between the ends of the actuator element (1) varies. To the ends of the actuator element (1) there is attached a spring element (3) that moves by the action of the actuator element. In lateral view the spring element (3) is substantially rectangular. The ends (3a) of the spring element rectangle are elastic and so are the sides (3b) of the rectangle. The ends (3a) and the sides (3b) are joined together by substantially rigid corners (3c).

    摘要: An improved transducer arrangement for low frequency sonar projectors that convert electric signals to mechanically generated acoustic signals. In one embodiment the arrangement has both a convex flextensional transducer and a concave flextensional transducer. An open side of the convex transducer is attached to a open side of the concave transducer by an intermediate bulkhead which closes each of the attached open sides. An end plate is attached to another open side of the convex transducer and another end plate is attached to another open side of the concave transducer such that the end plates close the attached open sides. In another embodiment, transducer assembly has a convex transducer having end plates and a concave transducer having end plates. Either one of the endplates of the concave transducer is attached to one of the endplates of the convex transducer, or an endplate of the concave transducer is also an endplate of the concave transducer. There is also provided a transducer drive circuit including one of the transducer assemblies wherein the convex transducer is electrically connected in series with the concave transducer. Means are provided for positively direct current biasing the convex transducer or the concave transducer and oppositely negatively direct current biasing the concave transducer or the convex transducer. Further means apply an alternating current driving signal to each of the convex transducer and the concave transducer. This configuration provides an improvement over the prior art in reduced transducer size and weight by doing away with a large isolation capacitor from the drive circuitry.
