Magnetostrictive materials are used low frequency sonar transmitter instead of piezoelectric materials. But it is difficult to analyze due to the nonlinearity and hysteresis of magnetostrictive materials. This paper deals with the program development for the finite element modeling of magnetostrictive tonpilz transducers and for analyzing their acoustic characteristics. To take into account the nonlinearity of magnetostrictive materials, the magnetic field calculation is separated form the displacement calculation, and a curve fitting is adopted for the nonlinear behavior of the magnetic and mechanical strain fields. At first, the magnetic field is obtained by using a commercial FEM software and the displacement of the transducer is calculated by plugging the obtained magnetic field into forcing term. To verity the accuracy of the developed program, a comparison is made with a commercial code, ATILA.

In this paper, we addressed the IEEE 1451.x that can organize a sensor network for efficient measurement system. IEEE 1451 provides standard interface, specification and Object model for example Network Capable Application Processor(NCAP), Transducer Electronic Data Sheet(TEDS), Smart Transducer Interface Module (STIM) and so on. Especially IEEE 1451.2 defines the TEDS Formats and STIM. The TEDS makes transducer to be used independently from device. NCAP makes the component of measurement system to be handled as an object. Therefore each function block constructs system by using Add-on. IEEE 1451.x can be expend the system with Add-on and Plug-and-Play by using smart sensor and connected with current network. We expect that this method can provide the efficiency and convenience when using the measurement system.

The ultrasonic guided wave phased array using magnetostrictive patch transducers is proposed. The magnetostrictive transducer has received much attention because it is cost-effective and capable to generate ultrasonic waves with a simple configuration. However, it has not been used for ultrasonic guided wave phased array applications until now. In this paper, we propose a magnetostrictive transducer based phased array system consisting of a multi-channel function generator, power amplifiers and Lamb wave magnetostrictive transducers. To check the performance of the ultrasonic guided wave phased array, several Lamb wave focusing experiments were carried out in an aluminum plate. The results demonstrated the capability of the developed array to focus the Lamb waves at specific target points.

It is expected that fully-implantable middle-ear hearing devices (FIMEHDs) will soon be available with the advantages of complete concealment, easy surgical implantation, and low power operation to resolve the problems of semi-implantable middle-ear hearing devices (SIMEHDs) such as discomfort of wearing an external device and replacement of battery. Over the last 3 years, a Korean research team at Kyungpook National University has developed an FIMEHD called ACRHS-1 based on a differential floating mass transducer (DFMT). The main research focus was functional improvement, the establishment of easy surgical procedures for implantation, miniaturization, and a low-power operation. Accordingly, this paper reviews the overall system architecture, functions, and experimental results for ACRHS-1 and its related accessories, including a wireless battery charger and remote controller.

본 논문에서는 기 확립한 정방형 진동면의 수열을 사용한 자기 및 상호방사 임피던스 계산법을 확대 적용하여 임의정수의 종횡비를 갖는 장방형 트랜스듀서의 자기방사 임피던스 계산법을 제시하였다. 이 방법은 짧은 시간내에 비교적 정확한 계산 결과를 얻을 수 있는데, 분할한 음원요소의 수에 따른 계산정도 및 계산시간을 고찰한 후, 종횡비가 다른 몇몇 장방형 트랜스듀서의 자기방사 임피던스를 산출하여 기존의 문헌치와 비교하였다.

Transducer for linear ultrasonic motor with symmetric and anti-symmetric modes was studied. The transducer was composed of two Langevin-type vibrators. In order to excite two vibration modes, Two Langevin-type vibrators must have 90-degree phase difference with each other. As result, tip of transducers moves in elliptical motion. In this paper, vibration shape of transducer was simulated and The resonant frequency and maximum displacement were calculated using the FEA (Finite Element Analysis).

It is known tat the echoes from the most objects differ from the incident pulses in amplitude and frequency .Especially, the frequency in echoes from moving target is shiftby the Doppler effect. it causes to reduce the receiving sensitivity of piezoelectric transducers that have definite band width. The electric impedance, whichis connected to the electrical terminals, notably changes the resonant frequency of a thickeness mode piezoelectric vibrator with high electromechanical doupling due to the electroelastic effect. Using this effect, we have developed a frequency controllable ultrasonic transducer which is mad eof multi-layered PZT disks to adjust to frequency shifted by Doppler effect. The characteristics of transducer can be obtained by using the equivalent circuit of transmission line model. It was confirmed experimentally that the center frequency and band width of the trasducer could be controlled by the conditions of the electrical terminals. These results coincided with theoretical results.

An infrasonic wide band transducer fabricated by polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)is studied experimentally. The sensitivity of the transducer depends largely on the surface charge of the Electret and is typically between-50 and -62[dBV] for a sound-pressure level of 1[ubar]. The sensitivity of the transducer does not decay over periods of the order of years at room temperature. The frequency response is within 1.5[dB] from 1 to 6,000[Hz] and within 12[dB] from 0.05[Hz] to 1[Hz] respectively. The resonance frequency of the element is 510 [Hz]. We conjectures that the element is applicable to accustics, communication system, seismological observation and other similar filed.

In this study, the ultrasonic transducer was fabricated with piezoceramic-polymer 1-3 type composites. Pulse-echo response of that transducer in water was investigated with variable water-level. Output of LED was under the control of the signal, which was analyzerd by the self-made Electric Unit. This paper represents automatically water-detecting system with variable water level. There was in good agreement water level between the virtual level and output signal by using the self-made water-detecting system.

For the piezoelectric vibrator, PZT, in a general transmit-receive sensor using the ultrasonic flowmeter, the characteristics of frequency response relating to the backing materials were analyzed with the Mason equivalent circuit for design and the sensitivity of fabricated transducer relating to the matching materials was measured and discussed. The results those were measured in water for the transmit-receive characteristics of each transducer can be applied to the flowmeter sensor.
