For certain resonant high-power air transducers exists a radiating cone which is in some way connected to a forcing piezoelectric ceramic. This study focuses purely on the cone structure itself, and the form of excitation that gives desired results on the vibration modes of the cone. In the new design three different parameters are changed from existing devices. They are: 1) the change of the round piezoelectric disc center position to a piezoelectric ring shape, while making the cone center fixed, 2) the cutting of the cone into leaves, and 3) the radial thickness decreasing with radius. In simulations, the new design yields considerably higher vibration amplitudes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
