where ε is the strain tensor, σ is the stress tensor, E is the electric field vector, D is the electric displace-ment vector; cE is the tensor of elastic stiffness moduli at constant electric field; e is the tensor of piezoelectric moduli (stress coefficients); εS is the tensor of electric permittivity moduli at constant mechanical stress.

Coupling between solid end acoustic media is pro-vided by the boundary conditions: the top and the sides of a transducer undergo both an acoustic pressure and the inward accelerations. The bottom of a transducer is fixed; on the left boundary we consider an axial symmetry con-dition; on the top of piezoelectric layer the constant elec-tric potential with amplitude 100 V in whole studied fre-quency band is applied, when the bottom is grounded.

Since the dimensions of the investigated transducer are quite small, this type of projector cannot be used to gen-erate directional sound and therefore we will consider the sound pressure level only in a direct ray. When the transducer is placed into acoustic medium the thickness vibration mode is excited at frequencies from approx-imately 100 to 400 kHz. This frequency range was used during the following optimization of transducer’s para-meters.

4. Multiobjective Optimization of the

Piezoelectric Transducer

There is a wide range of materials that can be used as the constituent layers of a transducer; this proves the possi-bility to vary their mechanical properties within the wide scope. It should be noted that we chose tungsten as a backing plate material to generate the thickness vibration mode of a PZT layer because of its large mechanical stiffness and high acoustic impedance. In order to for-mulate the optimization problem let us introduce six de-sign variables: porosity of an active layer (por), Young’s modules of an acoustic window layer (Eaw), matching layer (Em ), and protective foam layer (Ef ); mass damping parameter (R1) and stiffness damping parame- ter (R2) of layers. In our investigation we considered three objectives: sound pressure level (SPL) in direct ray measured at the 1m distance from the sound source and transmitting current response (TCR) to be maximized; the deviation of SPL is to be minimized. SPL is repre- sented in decibels as follows

where p1 is the sound pressure at the measurement point; and pref 2 105

pressure. TCR is the ratio of an absolute value of sound pressure p1, to the amplitude of electric current I through the active element:

There is a wide range of approaches to structural opti-mization. In the framework of multi-criteria optimization problem (MOO) when several objective functions exist, there is no unique solution, but a number of optimum solutions exist. In this situation the most suitable way to optimization is a calculation of a so-called Pareto opti-mum or Pareto-frontier. Using the Pareto approach we suppose the assignment of a set of choices for all objec-tive components that are Pareto efficient. By confining the set of choices to only the Pareto-efficients instead of considering the full range for each parameter, it is possi-ble to make trade-offs within this set. During the solving of considered optimization problem the three integrals were assumed to be optimized:

where p , p and TCR represent an averaged SPL, deviation of SPL and TCR, respectively; f1 and

2

f are the boundaries of the frequency range.

Obviously the construction of a Pareto-frontier was complicated for the three-dimensional space of objective functions. In order to overcome this difficulty the illu-stration of a Pareto-frontier has been represented using the level lines. At the numerical problem solving MAT-LAB varies design parameters for the transducer, calls the FE model simulated by Comsol Multiphysics, and is carry out the multiple computations of the objectives. Then obtained data are being analyzed and illustrated using the set of complimentary procedures, written in MATLAB (see Figures 4(a), (b)).

successfully obtained for the porous piezocomposite ma-terials of different connectivity in order to optimize the hydroacoustic performance of multilayered projector based on the active PZT layer with varied porosity. These effective modules were calculated using the FE method at the assumption of homogeneous and inhomo-geneous polarization field. The last dependencies were used at the statement and solving the optimization prob-lem due to the best agreement with the experimental data. Obtained dependencies allowed to reduce the number of design variables to six (porosity of an active layer; Young’s modules of an acoustic window layer, protec-tive and matching layers; mass and stiffness damping parameters of layers). On the base of the Pareto optimal-ity the set of feasible designs in a six dimensional design space was reconstructed using three objectives: averaged sound pressure level, transmitting current response and the standard deviation of the SPL in a frequency range from 100 to 400 kHz. A comparative analysis of three examples of the simulated designs has been performed. It showed the best performance of a projector with porosity near 40% and elastic modules of intermediate layers tuned to achieve the best acoustic impedances matching between the structure and acoustic medium.
