JSE_V1_N1_RP2 Computer Modeling and Simulation of Piezoelectric Transducers Y.B. Gandole S.P. Yawale S.S. Yawale Journal on Software Engineering 2230 – 7168 1 1 39 45 Modeling, Simulation, Piezoelectric, Transducer In this paper a computer modeling and simulation of piezoelectric transducer system is explored. A model of a piezoelectric transducer using electrical components such as transmission lines and controlled sources is presented. The advantage gained by using electrical components is that the associated electronics can be designed with great ease. The analogy of wave propagation in acoustic media and transmission lines is described as well as the electrical-mechanical transduction in piezoelectric material. The model is validated by comparing its received signal to that of an actual experiment in the time domain. July - September 2006 Copyright © 2006 i-manager publications.
