Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper reports the development of a point-focused PVDF transducer with a large aperture surface and its application on measuring Lamb wave dispersion curves. The point-focused transducer is constructed by forcing a piezoelectric PVDF film into a concave spherical shape. The acoustic waves radiated from the PVDF film are then focused into a point without using any acoustic lens. Similar to its line-focused counterpart, the point-focused transducer is capable of measuring dispersion curves of lamb waves provided its aperture angle is large enough. To verify this, experimental testing is carried out on several thin metal plates and good measurement results are observed. Future improvements and applications on the transducer will be addressed.
