A piezoelectric transducer can be used either to transform an
electric current to an acoustic pressure field or, the opposite, to produce an electric current from an acoustic field. These devices are generally useful for applications that require the generation of sound in air and liquids. This project will focus on how to couple piezoelectric vibrations in a transducer to an acoustics pressure wave in a fluid such as air or water. The physics that are coupled and will be solved are piezoelectric stress-strain, an electric field, and pressure acoustics in a fluid.
The model will be built using Acoustic module of COMSOL
Multiphysics and the built-in Acoustic-Piezoelectric Interaction, Frequency Domain Multiphysics interface which comprises three fundamental physics; Pressure Acoustics, Solid Mechanics and Electrostatics. Frequency and static response of the transducer will be analysed.
