The Design of Piezoelectric Transducers Using Goal Programming.

Abstract

The design of piezoelectric transducers often involves the satisfaction of multiple, conflicting design specifications. The use of conventional mathematical programming techniques in this endeavor has been inhibited by their inability to consider these multiple objectives within their design formulations. Goal programming is an effective alternative methodology. Transducer design analysis through goal programming provides the optimal solution to the multiple criteria of various types of transducers. The solutions to five design specifications for a reasonably complex transducer are presented. The details of the formulation and analysis of results provide an indication of the ability of this approach to resolve even more complex transducer design problems. (Author)
