Abstract:
Using the finite element method (FEM), the effect of a piezoelectric ceramic sandwiched transducers with a certain excitative area and different frequencies on a stepped plate that produces a firstorder flexural vibration is studied. The results show that with the increase of driving frequency, the nodal circle of the plate increase before the secondorder flexural vibration occurs. When the driving frequency is f=28 kHz, the nodal circle of the stepped plate just return to the edge of the stepped and is 2.610 cm. It is shown experimentally that the results are consistent with that of the FEM basically.
