Numerical analysis of dynamic characteristics of coupled piezoelectric systems in acoustic media Original Research Article

In this paper, the full dynamic model describing vibrations of piezoceramic solids of hollow cylindrical shapes and accounting for the coupling of the solids to surrounding fluid/gas media has been analysed numerically. The major attention has been given to the case of radial preliminary polarisation of piezoceramics where a strong coupling between electric and mechanical fields is an essential feature of the dynamics. An efficient numerical discretisation scheme based on the integro-interpolation approach has been proposed and representative examples of computational experiments are given.
