PAFEC VibroAcoustics - Array Design |
|
Arrays of transducers can be used to produce extra radiated power and directivity. If the transducers are all well separated then the design could be done using ideal, non-interacting, point sources, each with the directivity of a single transducer. However in some cases it is required that the array be compact, closely spaced transducers are inevitable, and these will interact through the acoustic medium. Finite/boundary element modelling techniques naturally take these interactions into account and can thus be used as a design tool even when the system is so complex that intuition is unreliable. |
