Flextensional Transducer and Reflector.

Abstract

The performance of the 420 cps transducer-reflector combination has more than justified our confidence in the basic design approach. When one considers the comparatively short period of time and limited funds which were available for this effort, these final test results are even more impressive. In reviewing the transducer design after the tests at Lake Pend Oreille it is apparent that several minor design changes could considerably improve its performance. These would include wider bandwidth, better cavitation suppression and improved electromechanical coupling.
