Abstract

A computer program for the three-dimensional analysis of natural vibrations of rectangular piezoelectric transducers of arbitrary dimensions has been developed on the basis of the finite-element method (FEM). The analysis of natural vibrations of transducers was performed for several first modes. The results make it possible to substantiate the choice of the optimal geometric dimensions for a rectangular piezoelectric transducer that operates in the first mode.
