Transducers and Arrays for Underwater Sound Hardback
by John L. Butler, Charles H. Sherman
Part of the Modern Acoustics and Signal Processing series
Hardback
Description
This improved and updated second edition covers the theory, development, and design of electro-acoustic transducers for underwater applications.
This highly regarded text discusses the basics of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive transducers that are currently being used as well as promising new designs.
It presents the basic acoustics as well as the specific acoustics data needed in transducer design and evaluation.
A broad range of designs of projectors and hydrophones are described in detail along with methods of modeling, evaluation, and measurement.
Analysis of projector and hydrophone transducer arrays, including the effects of mutual radiation impedance and numerical models for elements and arrays, are also covered.
The book includes new advances in transducer design and transducer materials and has been completely reorganized to be suitable for use as a textbook, as well as a reference or handbook.
The new edition contains corrections to the first edition, end-of-chapter exercises, and solutions to selected exercises.
Each chapter includes a short introduction, end-of-chapter summary, and an extensive reference list offering the reader more detailed information and historical context.
A glossary of key terms is also included at the end.
