Numerical data on the distance of transmission of sound in sea water from a 10-in. piezo-electric oscillator are discussed in the light of theoretical results obtained in a previous paper. It is shown how by the principle of similitude the chart for transmission at optimum wave-length calculated for a 50-watt, 60 cm. oscillator can be used for a transmitter of any given diameter and output. A comparison with some experiments of Boyle's points to the fact that at supersonic frequencies, in the neighborhood of 100,000 cycles, a considerably higher coefficient of viscosity than that obtained by flow methods must be used.

In order to reduce the field of the acoustic radiation and improve the efficiency of energy using, a new-style ultrasonic linear array is present, which base on the special structural of the acoustic field produced by the cylindrical acoustic lens. The new-style linear array is composed of numbers of cylindrical acoustic lens, each lens act as an element distributed in a line along the width direction. Define x-direction is the direction of wave propagate. We have studied the acoustic field theoretically and have analyzed it numerically. Found that acoustic field have a better directivity in y-direction and the radiation field is much smaller than the traditional linear array, at the same time the focus ability is appear in the Z-direction if we control the number of element and the distance of center-to-center spacing of each element. This paper is helpful to the change and development of traditional liner array.

The characteristic of the acoustic radiation of vibrating structure is the important factor in valuing its performance. This paper puts forward a visualization system of the acoustic radiation based on NAH which combines the measurement, data management and visualization. The visualization technology it adopts point a new way to the observation of the acoustic radiation. Experiments have shown that this system can offer a complete solution for the measurement and research of the radiation field.

In this work, a new design method is proposed to intensify the focused acoustic field generated inside a circular cylindrical piezoelectric transducer. The proposed design incorporates a stepped-thickness piezoelectric transducer which has thickness variations along the length. The location of these steps are identified based on the mode shape analysis of a uniform-thickness tube. Once the step locations are identified, two cases are considered with internal and external steps. Acoustic radiation characteristics and mode shapes are compared with the uniform-thickness shell. All the investigations are performed using ANSYS. An increase in the sound pressure level is obtained utilizing the stepped-thickness tube at the same input power.

The radiation field due to a circular disc oscillating with uniform amplitude in a closely fitting circular aperture surrounded by an infinite rigid flange has been studied in detail, the velocity potential being expressed as an infinite integral involving cylindrical co-ordinates. The procedure adopted may be used to study the effect of viscosity on the characteristics of the radiation field. While having little effect on the field in the neighborhood of an oscillator generating waves in water, the viscosity has a marked effect on the range of distant transmission, which in consequence is appreciably affected by temperature. Of considerable practical importance is the existence of an optimum wave-length for constant output and a given distance of transmission. By means of a simple chart, it is possible to determine the optimum wave-length for a given transmitter when the level of reception for a given range is stated.
