Nonlinear Dynamic Modeling of Langevin-Type Piezoelectric Transducers

Langevin transducers are employed in several applications, such as power ultrasound systems, naval hydrophones, and high-displacement actuators. Nonlinear effects can influence their performance, especially at high vibration amplitude levels. These nonlinear effects produce variations in the resonan...
