In this study, 3-D underwater object recognition using the self-made 3-3 type composite ultrasonic transducer and modified SOFM(Self Organizing Feature Map) neural network are investigated. Properties of the self-made 3-3 type composite specimens are satisfied considerably with requirements as an underwater ultrasonic transducer's materials. 3-D underwater all object's recognition rates obtained from both the training data and testing data in different objects, such as a rectangular block, regular triangular block, square block and cylinderical block, were 100% and 94.0%, respectively. All object's recognition rates are obtained by utilizing the self-made 3-3 type composite transducer and SOFM neural network. From the object recognition rates, it could be seen that an ultrasonic transducer fabricated with the self-made 3-3 type composite resonator will be able to have application for the underwater object recognition.

본 논문에서는순수 압전세라믹에 비해 동등이상의 압적특성을 가지면서도 음향임피던스가 월등히 낮은 1-3형 압적복합체를 이용한 탐촉자의 개발에 관해 연구하였다. 압전 복합재료 탐촉자는 그 자체만으로 측정대상체와의 음향임피던스 차를 최소화하여 별도의 정합층을 필요로 하지 않는 특징을 가진다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 복합재료에 사용되는 고분자재료의 물성값 설계와, 압전세라믹과의 적절한 배합구조와 형상의 결정에 주안점을 두었다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 압전 복합체 초음파 트랜스듀서 시작품을 제작하고 그성능을 분석하였으며, 이론적인 시뮬레이션 결과과의 비교를 통해 설계이론의 타당성을 검증하였다.

In this study, the piezoelectric ceramics PZT powder was synthesized by Wet-Dry combination method. And the flexible 1-3-0 type composites were fabricated with piezoceramic PZT and Eccogel polymer matrix embedded 3rd phase. Dielectric constant of 1-3-0 type composites was lower than that of single phase PZT ceramics. Thickness mode coupling factor k/sub t/ which was comparable with single phase PZT ceramics and mechanical quality factor Qm were about 0.65 and 6, respectively. These composites are considered as a good candidates for broad-band type transducer applications. The acoustic impedance of 1-3-0 type composites was lower than that of single phase PZT ceramics. Therefore, these composites would be better used for hydrophone applications.

Piezoelectric Fiber Composites with Interdigitated Electrodes (PFCIDE) were previously introduced as an alternative to monolithic wafers with conventional electrodes for applications of structural actuation. This paper is an investigation into the performance improvement of piezoelectric fiber composite actuators by changing the matrix material. This paper presents a modified micro-electromechanical model of a piezoelectric fiber/piezopolymer matrix composite actuator with interdigitated electrodes (PFPMIDE). Various concepts from different backgrounds including three-dimensional linear elastic and dielectric theories have been incorporated into the present linear piezoelectric model. The rule of mixture and the modified method to calculate the effective properties of fiber composites are extended to apply to the PFPMIDE model. The new model is validated comparing with available experimental data and other analytical results.

본 연구에서는 유한요소법(FEM)을 이용하여 압전 수중음향센서의 모델링 및 음향특성을 해석하였다. 압전 복합구조 수중음향센서의 해석에서 기본적인 압전-탄성 구조물과 유체-구조물의 연성해석을 위한 유한요소 정식화를 하였으며 무한영역의 음향유체를 처리하기 위하여 IWEE(Infinite Wave Envelop Element)를 도입하였다. Topilz형 수중음향센서를 수중 산란체로 볼 경우 입사파가 산란체의 표면을 가진할 때 산란체로부터 발생되는 산란파는 IWEE로 인하여 무한 유체영역에서의 산란파의 감소특성을 갖게되어 무한영역을 유한영역으로 나눈 인위적인 경계에서 반사가 일어나지 않게 되므로 산란파의 음압을 정확히 구할 수 있었다. 또한, 이러한 산란해석을 바탕으로 입사파에 대한 음향센서 내부의 전기적 응답특성인 RVS(Receiving Voltage Signal)를 구하였다. 이러한 일련의 연구 과정들은 소나(SONAR) 시스템을 정확히 해석하고 음향특성을 예측하는 데 큰 도움이 될 것이다.
