Nonsteady-state problem of the emission of acoustic waves by a cylindrical piezoelectric transducer near a planar boundary

We study processes developing when a cylindrical piezoceramic shell with split electrodes located near a planar boundary is excited by nonsteady-state electrical signals. We solve the problem using the Laplace integral transform with respect to time. The boundary conditions are satisfied in the space of the originals. Under these conditions, the unknowns are found from a system of Volterra integral equations. We present the calculation results and their analysis. Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 33.
