Air-Coupled Piezoelectric Transducers with Active Polypropylene Foam Matching Layers
This work presents the design, construction and characterization of air-coupled piezoelectric transducers using 1-3 connectivity piezocomposite disks with a stack of matching layers being the outer one an active quarter wavelength layer made of polypropylene foam ferroelectret film. This kind of material has shown a stable piezoelectric response together with a very low acoustic impedance (<0.1...
متن کاملAir-Coupled Low Frequency Ultrasonic Transducers and Arrays with PMN-32%PT Piezoelectric Crystals
Air-coupled ultrasonic techniques are being increasingly used for material characterization, non-destructive evaluation of composite materials using guided waves as well as for distance measurements. Application of those techniques is mainly limited by the big losses of ultrasonic signals due to attenuation and mismatch of the acoustic impedances of ultrasonic transducers and air. One of the wa...
متن کاملEnhancing the bandwidth of piezoelectric composite transducers for air-coupled non-destructive evaluation.
This paper details the development of a novel method for increasing the operational bandwidth of piezocomposites without the need for lossy backing material, the aim being to increase fractional bandwith by geometrical design. Removing the need for lossy backing materials, should in turn increase the transmit efficiency in the desired direction of propagation. Finite element analysis has been e...
متن کاملNDE Applications of Air-Coupled Ultrasonic Transducers
Abslract In recent years, several new NDE applications of air-coupled, as opposed to liquid-coupled, ultrasonics have been seriously pursued. The applications range from throughtransmission testing of aerospace laminates and various honeycomb or foam filled materials, and solar cells, to pulseecho flaw detection in plastic electronic packaging materials and in-line inspection of large-diameter ...
متن کاملHydrostatic compression on polypropylene foam
Models currently used to simulate the impact behaviour of polymeric foam at high strain rates use data from mechanical tests. Uniaxial compression is the most common mechanical test used, but the results from this test alone are insufficient to characterise the foam response to three-dimensional stress states. A new experimental apparatus for the study of the foam behaviour under a state of hyd...
