Optimization of Bending-Type Ultrasonic Transducers with Rotational Symmetry using COMSOL Multiphysics

چکیده
Ultrasonic sensors are commonly used for a wide variety of non-contact presence, proximity or distance measuring applications in industry, especially the automotive branch. This paper shows how the radiation properties of bending-type ultrasonic transducers with rotational symmetry depend on shape, dimensions and material parameters. In order to determine their dependencies, the behaviour of such transducers with regard to their emitting characteristics in air was simulated using finite element (FE) methods for computing their surface elongation together with analytical elementary wave superposition. The results of the simulations have been validated by Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) and angulardependent acoustic pressure measurements.

Modelling of Ultrasonic Transducers and Ultrasonic Wave Propagation for Commercial Applications using Finite Elements with Experimental Visualization of Waves for Validation
Finite element (FE) modelling of ultrasonic propagation using Comsol Multiphysics, or indeed any other FE software, inevitably involves large computations because two or three dimensional time-stepping models are needed to predict the behaviour of these kinds of travelling mechanical waves. Comsol can be used to create video of waves in these models, which is both attractive and informative. Un...
