Elastic Waves Excitation and Focusing by a Piezoelectric Transducer with Intermediate Layered Elastic Metamaterials with and without Periodic Arrays of Interfacial Voids
Optimization of the structure of piezoelectric transducers such as the proper design of matching layers can increase maximum wave energy transmission to the host structure and transducer sensitivity. A novel configuration of an ultrasonic transducer, where elastic metamaterial insertion is introduce...
