Abstract
To amplify the displacement of the radiation shell, a double-shell type-IV curved hydroacoustic transducer was proposed. Through Ansys finite element simulation, the vibration modes of the transducer in different stages and the harmonic response characteristics in air and water were studied, and the bandwidth emission of the hydroacoustic transducer was achieved. By optimizing the size of each component, the resonant frequency of the transducer is 740 Hz, the maximum conductivity was 0.66 mS, and the maximum transmitting voltage response was 130 dB. According to the optimized parameters, a longitudinal acoustic transducer prototype was manufactured, and a physical test was conducted in an anechoic pool. The obtained resonant frequency was 750 Hz, the maximum conductivity was 0.44 mS, the maximum transmitting voltage response was 129.25 dB, and the maximum linear dimension was 250 mm,…
