EXPLORATORY DEVELOPMENT DOME STUDIES, VOLUME 1

Abstract

This report presents the results obtained during the first year of a program for the analysis of the effects of sonar dome-transducer interactions on transmit performance. The analytical work has been directed toward (a) modeling a cylindrical transducer surrounded by an elliptical dome, (b) the application of an integral formulation of the radiation problem to sonar domes and transducers, and (c) limited analysis of a spherical transducer and concentric dome and a cylindrical dome with supporting structure. The analytical phases of the program have been supported by an experimental study whose main purpose has been the development of a small, high frequency transducer and appropriate instrumentation for measuring beam patterns and transducer displacements.
