Items related to Underwater Electroacoustic Transducers
This reprint by Prof Dennis Stansfield is a practical handbook for users and designers of underwater transducers. It has been an authoritative text in the field since first published by the Bath University Press in 1991. Design methods are illustrated by concentrating on the design of piezoelectric transducers in the 2 - 20 kHz range, most commonly used in sonar systems. Designs for frequencies below this range are also discussed. Treatment is down-to-earth and avoids complex mathematics. Topics include the role of the transducer as an element of the complete system; wide bandwidth, high power transmitter applications; wide band hydrophones; characteristics of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials; and transducer testing. For the user, the wide range of topics and practical approach of the book help him to identify the most important features of the requirement and assist him in drawing up realistic specifications. For the designer, the book describes the!
necessary theoretical and practical aspects involved in developing a transducer to most effectively suit the application and it discusses the main features of the various types of designs.

Synopsis:
This book attempts to describe the principles and practical aspects involved in the design of underwater electroacoustic transducers. It aims to improve the user's understanding of the significance of the various characteristics which need to be defined in specifying his transducer requirement. The book describes the design methods which can be adopted for the more demanding applications. The successful conversion of the theoretical design to a reliable transducer requires considerable attention to the details of the assembly, and these are discussed throughout the book. The book is based primarily on the experience gained in the transducer and array design section at the Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment (now the Admiralty Research Establishment) at Portland.
