A numerical method for analyzing the nonstationary vibrations of radially polarized spherical piezoceramic bodies in an acoustic medium is developed. The electrically excited vibrations of piezoceramic spheres with impedance boundary conditions are analyzed. It is established that the vibrations depend on the ratio of the thickness of the sphere to its radius. The vibrations of a sphere with free outside surface and a sphere immersed in water are compared Introduction. Spherical piezoceramic elements are typical active components of many devices and are widely used in various fields such as instrument making, hydroacoustics, electroacoustics, ultrasonics [1, 2, 10, etc.]. To ensure reliable and optimal operating conditions for electromechanical vibrators, it is necessary to study the dynamic electromechanical state of bodies affected by the ambient medium [1, 2, 10, etc.]. The natural frequencies and modes of electroelastic hollow cylinders and spheres were determined in [4,5,13]. Wave propagation in electroelastic bodies is addressed in [8,11]. The nonstationary vibrations of a two-layer piezoceramic spherical shell were analyzed in [9]. The centrosymmetric and axisymmetric nonstationary electroelastic vibrations of piezoceramic spheres and cylinders were studied in [3,6,7,[12][13][14] using the three-dimensional theory of elasticity.Here we develop a numerical problem-solving method and analyze the effect of impedance contact with an acoustic medium on the nonstationary vibrations of a hollow piezoceramic sphere polarized across the thickness and subject to dynamic electric perturbations.1. Problem Formulation. Basic Equations. Consider a hollow piezoceramic sphere with mid-surface radius R and wall thickness 2h. It is polarized across the thickness. The vibrations of the sphere are described by the following equation of motion and quasistatic equation for electric-flux density [1, 2]:
