Predicting the losses and the efficiency of a 1-3 piezo-composite transducer through a partial homogeneization method

The topic of this work is the theoretical study of a disc-shaped acoustic transducer made with a 1-3 piezoelectric composite material. This material consists of PZT ceramic rods embedded in a polymer matrix. A modeling of this ideal transversally periodic structure is proposed. It is based on a fini...
