Abstract

Abstmcr-The objective of the present work was to gain a deeper mensions of the transducer are much smaller than the understanding of the behavior of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) polymer composites for applications such as ultrasonic medical diagnosis in the megahertz frequency range. These composites were originally devel-oped for low-frequency hydrophone applications. The PZT rod-poly-mer composites have been prepared with five to 30 volume percent PZT using mm and mm rods. In a disc of PZT rod-polymer com-posite material, there are three principal types of resonance: the planar mode, the thickness mode, and various lateral modes caused by the reg-ular periodicity of the PZT rod in the composite. These resonance modes have been studied with the following techniques: electrical impedance measurement as a function of frequency and laser probe dilatometry of the dynamic displacement function of frequency and position in the composite lattice. The observed resonance behavior is found to be a result of lateral interactions in the composite through the epoxy me-dium. The effect of temperature on the electromechanical properties of the composite has also been investigated. Implications f these results for optimizing the design of ultrasonic transducers are discussed. I.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
