Abstract

In this study. a 1-3 piezo-composite single element ultrasonic transducer was designed with a commercial finite element analysis (FEA) code. PZf1ex and developed based on this design. Design with FEA could be performed overcoming many constraints of the typical theoretical method, and also was very practical. Validity of the design with the FEA was illustrated through experimental characterization of fabricated 1-3 piezo-composites and ultrasonic transducers, Through comparison with the result of the theoretical method. we confirmed the superiority of the design method using FEA.

본 연구에서는 상용 유한 요소 해석 프로그램인 PZflex를 이용하여 1-3형 압전 복합체를 설계하고 이를 바탕으로 단일소자 의료용 초음파 트랜스듀서를 개발하였다. 유한요소 해석법을 이용하면 기존의 이론적 방법에 의한 압전 복합체 설계의 여러 제약 사항을 극복하고, 실용적인 해석이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 유한요소법에 의한 설계 결과를 바탕으로 실제 제작된 압전 복합체와 탐촉자의 성능을 비교함으로써 그 설계법의 타당성을 검증하였으며, 이론적 방법에 의한 특성과도 비교함으로써 유한요소 해석법의 우수성도 확인하였다.
