Sonar Transducer Reliability Improvement Program FY 1979.

Abstract

Progress accomplished during the fourth quarter of FY79 in the Sonar Transducer Reliability Improvement Program is reported. Each of the eight program tasks is discussed in some detail. The most significant aspects are the discovery of a parasitic current phenomena, different from corona, that may lead to a diagnostic test for transducers, piece-part testing in support of composite unit accelerated life testing of transducers to identify and cure failures, and five published reports on projects successfully accomplished.
