Selective modal transducers for anisotropic rectangular plates: experimental validation

摘要

A general selective modal transducer (SMT) design methodology recently introduced by the authors for piezo- laminated anisotropic plate systems is validated through an experimental test on a cantilevered orthotropic com- posite piezolaminated plate. Fundamental aspects of the SMT theory are reviewed. The SMT theory is extended to provide the means to predict the modal character of multilayered piezolaminated transducers embedded in an anisotropic plate in which the active subelements are both bidirectional and spatially varying.
