Transducers and Arrays for Underwater Sound (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book discusses both fundamental and practical aspects of electroacoustic tranducers and arrays used for generating and receiving underwater sound in commercial and naval applications. It provides current information intended to aid those working in this field and teach those entering it. The book describes the six major types of electroacoustic transducers and the latest methods of tranducer analysis and design, including analysis of nonlinear effects and information on modern transducer materials. Many different transducer designs are analyzed and described, including novel designs such as the hybrid transducer. The problems that occur when large numbers of transducers are used together in arrays, such as acoustic interactions in transmitting arrays and noise limitations in receiving arrays, are also discussed in detail.

Autor

Dr. Charles H. Sherman received the B. S. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the M. S. and Ph. D degrees from the University of Connecticut. He worked mainly at the Navy Underwater Sound Laboratory in New London, CT, but also at Tracerlab, Inc. in Boston, MA, and Parke Mathematical Laboratories in Carlisle, MA, and now works at Image Acoustics, Inc. He has presented and published over thirty papers related to acoustics and transducers, and was elected Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America in 1974. He taught advanced acoustics at the University of Connecticut and transducers in the Ocean Engineering Department of the University of Rhode Island. He has over 40 years experience in underwater sound transducers and arrays.

Dr. John L. Butler is President and Chief Scientist at Image Acoustics, Inc. and has had over thirty five years of both practical and theoretical experience in the design and analysis of underwater sound transducers and arrays. He has worked for Harris Transducer (now Harris Acoustic Products Corporation), Parke Mathematical Laboratories, Massa Products Corporation and Raytheon Company, consulted to a number of underwater acoustics firms and the U. S. Navy, taught courses in acoustics, holds seventeen patents on transducers and has presented or published over thirty papers on electroacoustic transducers. In 1977 he was elected Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America. His education includes: Ph. D., Northeastern University, Boston, MA, and Sc. M., Brown University, Providence, RI.
