This example problem couples structural, piezoelectric, and acoustic elements to analyze the acoustic response of a flextensional transducer to voltage excitation.
The following features and capabilities are highlighted:
Structural-acoustic coupling using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in 2D and 3D
Use of piezoelectric materials
Use of infinite acoustic elements to absorb outgoing acoustic waves in 2D
Use of the Robin boundary condition to absorb outgoing acoustic waves in 3D
Far-field postprocessing of an acoustic field in 2.5-D models
The following topics are available:
You can also perform this example analysis entirely in the Ansys Mechanical Application. For more information, see Analysis of a Piezoelectric Flextensional Transducer in Water in the Mechanical Technology Showcase: Example Problems.
