Overview
The book presents a broad-scope analysis of piezoelectricelectromechanical transducers and the related aspects of practical transducerdesign for underwater applications. It uses an energy method for analyzingtransducer problems that provides the physical insight important for theunderstanding of electromechanical devices. Application of the method is firstillustrated with transducer examples that can be modeled as systems with asingle degree of freedom, (such as spheres, short cylinders, bars and flexuraldisks and plates made of piezoelectric ceramics). Thereupon, transducers aremodeled as devices with multiple degrees of freedom. In all these cases,results of modeling are presented in the form of equivalent electromechanicalcircuits convenient for the calculation of the transducers' operationalcharacteristics. Special focus is made on the effects of coupled vibrations inmechanical systems on transducer performance. The book also provides extensivecoverage of acoustic radiation including acoustic interaction between thetransducers. The book is inherently multidisciplinary. It providesessential background regarding the vibration of elastic passive andpiezoelectric bodies, piezoelectricity, acoustic radiation, and transducercharacterization. Scientists and engineers working in the field ofelectroacoustics and those involved in education in the field will find thismaterial useful not only for underwater acoustics, but also forelectromechanics, energy conversion and medical ultrasonics. Part II contains general information on vibration ofmechanical systems, electromechanical conversion in the deformed piezoceramicbodies, and acoustic radiation that can be used independently for treatmenttransducers of different type.

Author Information
Boris S. Aronov received a Master of Sciences in Electroacoustics from the Electrotechnical Institute (LETI) in Leningrad (St. Petersburg, Russia) in 1954 and a Master of Sciences degree in Mathematics from Leningrad State University in 1955. In 1962 he defended a PhD dissertation at the Electrotechnical Institute and in 1973 received a Doctor of Sciences degree in Electroacoustics from the Acoustical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Dr. Aronov has dedicated more than forty years to the research, design, and implementation of the sonar transducers at Marine Physical Equipment Institute (Morphyspribor) in St. Petersburg, Russia. After immigrating with his family to the United States, he has worked for more than twenty years with BTech Acoustics in Fall River, MA, and has occupied the post of Adjunct Research Professor at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. Dr. Aronov is the author of numerous papers published in the Soviet Journal of Physical Acoustics and in The Journal of Acoustical Society of America. His first book, Electromechanical Piezoelectric Ceramic Transducers was published in Russia in 1990 and translated into English in 2008. Dr. Aronov is a member of the Acoustical Society of America.
