A Finite Element Approach to Modelling Fractal Ultrasonic Transducers

Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers usually employ composite structures to improve their transmission and reception sensitivities. The geometry of the composite is regular with one dominant length scale and, since these are resonant devices, this dictates the central operating frequency of the device. In order to construct a wide bandwidth device it would seem natural therefore to utilize reso...

Finite Element Modeling of Capacitor Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers

A finite element model of cMUTs is constructed using the commercial code ANSYS. The complex load impedance seen by individual cells is compared with the plane wave real impedance seen by a parallel combination of the cells to make a transducer. The result shows the origin and level of crosstalk between array elements, with evidence of coupling through Stoneley and Lamb waves. For reduction of t...

Equivalent Electrical Simulation of High -Power Ultrasonic Piezoelectric Transducers by Using Finite Element Analysis

Finite element method (FEM) has been employed extensively for vibration modal analysis of piezoelectric transducers and devices. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the simulation and analysis of piezoelectric transducers by using equivalent electrical circuit models. This paper has been devoted to such approach for two designed and fabricated ultrasonic sandwich transducers h...

Design and construction of ultrasonic Doppler transducers for blood flow measurement using Finite Element Analysis

This paper describes the design and construction of two ultrasonic Doppler transducers using Finite Element Analysis for blood flow measurement. These transducers were constructed using as sensing element, commercial 8 MHz PIC255 piezoceramic discs, EPO-TEK 301 and Rexolite 4422 as backing and matching layer materials respectively. The objective of this work was to design and construct two sing...

A New Stress Based Approach for Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis

This article demonstrates a new approach for nonlinear finite element analysis. The methodology is very suitable and gives very accurate results in linear as well as in nonlinear range of the material behavior. Proposed methodology can be regarded as stress based finite element analysis as it is required to define the stress distribution within the structural body with structural idealization a...
