Example of Interaction Effects in Transducer Arrays. Part II.

Abstract

The array concerned consists of one circular piston surrounded by six other pistons in an infinite rigid baffle. The value of ka specified for each element is ka = .5. Calculations for piston velocities and radiation impedance are made for given spacings and individual transducer efficiency, while varying the internal mechanical reactance Xm. The power and the mechanoacoustical efficiency of the array are also shown as functions of Xm.
