Features: This book is designed to be accessible and gradually progresses in depth, focusing on the fundamental theories of piezoelectric transducers and transducer arrays. It provides in-depth discussions on important issues related to transducers and transducer arrays, and outlines the development trends. The book consists of fifteen chapters: Chapter 1 is an introduction; Chapters 2, 3, and 4 cover the basic knowledge of piezoelectric transducers; Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8 introduce several common typical piezoelectric transducers; Chapter 9 discusses the transient effects of piezoelectric transducers; Chapter 10 introduces new types of transducers; Chapter 11 explores the numerical analysis methods for piezoelectric elastomers; Chapter 12 introduces the measurement methods for the main parameters of transducers; Chapter 13 covers the theoretical foundations of transducer arrays; Chapters 14 and 15 discuss uniform and non-uniform transducer arrays, respectively; and Chapter 16 briefly introduces several new types of transducer arrays. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses on transducers and transducer arrays in the field of acoustics at universities and colleges. It is also a valuable reference for teachers and engineering professionals engaged in acoustics research and related disciplines.
