Folded Shell Projectors and Virtual Optimization

Abstract

These briefing charts present a study of the folded shell projector (FSP) described by Drozdowski and Purcell (DREA, Canada) at last year's ONR Transducer Workshop. They describe a virtual optimization procedure for the FSP and other Naval transducers that combines the computational efficiency of PZFlex with a nonlinear least-squares inversion algorithm in a closed design loop.
