An Ironless Large Displacement Flat Piston Loudspeaker
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a small wide-band loudspeaker. Particular efforts have been made to reduce the nonlinearities of the loudspeaker as much as possible. The motor structure is completely ironless, the elastomer suspensions are replaced by ferrofluid seals and a monobloc carbon foam piston substitutes the traditional conic membrane. The circular radiating surface, which is flat, has a diameter equal to only 2 cm. Therefore, in order to obtain a sufficient sound pressure level at low frequencies, large displacements of the piston are necessary. After a detailed description of each part of the loudspeaker, theoretical results of the expected performances of this transducer are given.

Performances and Design of Ironless Loudspeaker Motor Structures
1 This paper presents several kinds of structures of ironless loudspeaker motors. The proposed devices 2 go from simple structures, in terms of manufacturing process, to structures in which the magnet rings 3 can be stacked, with different magnetization directions or values. The structures are studied and compared 4 according to their created induction level and uniformity across the coil displ...

This paper describes the drawbacks related to the iron in the classical electrodynamic loudspeaker structure. Then it describes loudspeaker motors without any iron, which are only made of permanent magnets. They are associated to a piston like moving part which glides on ferrofluid seals. Furthermore, the coil is short and the suspension is wholly pneumatic. Several types of magnet assemblies a...

Power series expansions in ka are derived for the pressure at the edge of a radiator, the reaction force on the radiator, and the total radiated power arising from a harmonically excited, resilient, flat, circular radiator of radius a in an infinite baffle. The velocity profiles on the radiator are either Stenzel functions (1− (σ/a)) with σ the radial coordinate on the radiator, or linear combi...

One of the main sources of efficiency loss in heat engines is the inability of a sinusoidally displaced piston engines to approximate the ideal heat volumetric cycles the engines require. While attempts have been made to address this issue in the past, recent developments in Stirling engine technology utilizing rolling diaphragm seals on the cylinders has offered an opportunity to greatly incre...
متن کاملANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF CONNECTING ROD USING ALFASiC COMPOSITES
Connecting rod is the intermediate link between the piston and the crank. And is responsible to transmit the push and pull from the piston pin to crank pin, thus converting the reciprocating motion of the piston to rotary motion of the crank. Generally connecting rods are manufactured using carbon steel and in recent days aluminium alloys are finding its application in connecting rod. In this w...
