Generation of nonstationary waves by a thick-walled piezoceramic cylinder excited by electric signals

Coupled electroelasticity theory, acoustic approximation, and two-wire transmission line theory are used to study the generation of waves by a submerged cylindrical piezoelectric transducer connected by a cable to a source of nonstationary electric signals. The problem is reduced to a system of integral Volterra equations using the Laplace transform and analytical inversion of boundary conditions. The results of calculations for different cable lengths are presented __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 11, pp. 127–136, November 2005.
