Wave Transducer

A spiral sound wave transducer comprised of longitudinal vibrating elements has been proposed. This transducer was made from eight uniform radial distributed longitudinal vibrating elements, which could effectively generate low frequency underwater acoustic spiral waves. We discuss the production theory of spiral sound waves, which could be synthesized by two orthogonal acoustic dipoles with a phase difference of 90 degrees. The excitation voltage distribution of the transducer for emitting a spiral sound wave and the measurement method for the transducer is given. Three-dimensional finite element modeling (FEM)of the transducer was established for simulating the vibration modes and the acoustic characteristics of the transducers. Further, we fabricated a spiral sound wave transducer based on our design and simulations. It was found that the resonance frequency of the transducer was 10.8 kHz and that the transmitting voltage resonance was 140.5 dB. The underwater sound field measurements demonstrate that our designed transducer based on the longitudinal elements could successfully generate spiral sound waves.

Underwater acoustic wave absorption and control play an important role in underwater applications. Various types of underwater acoustic metamaterials have been proposed in recent years with the vigorous development of acoustic metamaterials. Compared with airborne sound, underwater sound waves have a longer wavelength and much smaller propagation loss, making them more difficult to control. In addition, given that the acoustic impedance of water is much greater than that of air, numerous conventional materials and structures are not suited to underwater use. In this paper, we propose a composite structure based on an excellent broadband low-frequency sound absorber of air using aluminum mixed with rubber. Our composite structure possesses broadband low-frequency (<1,000 Hz) sound absorption underwater, omnidirectional high sound absorption coefficient under the oblique incidence (0–75°), and pressure resistance. It has promising applications for underwater acoustic wave control and contributes to the design of underwater acoustic metamaterials.
