Stress Analysis and Structure Optimization for Piezoelectric Element End Faces of Langevin Transducers
A new design for rear cover of transducer which consists of a ring pad and a short cylinder is proposed to solve the problem that the stress distribution on the piezoelectric element of the Langevin transducer is uneven under the action of preload. Firstly
the stress distribution on the central area of the rear cover end face is obtained based on the Boussinesq solution on the surface of a half-space subjected to vertical concentrated force. Results show that the stress at the center of the end face of the piezoelectric element is the largest while the stress near the edge is the smallest. The theoretical analysis results are verified by ANSYS simulation and experimental research. The stress distribution of the piezoelectric element is used to optimize the shape and size of the rear cover and the resonant frequency of the optimized model is corrected. Finally
a transducer is assembled and its impedance performance is tested. The experimental results show that the optimized structure significantly improves the stress distribution at the end of piezoelectric sheet while keeping good impedance performance.
