The finite element technique is applied to a problem of composite piezoelectric transducers for ultrasonic radiation and their characteristics, i. e. , input admittances at the electrical terminals, acoustic radiation loading effects, near field sound pressure distributions and directional patterns, are analyzed. In each of our previous works(of piezoelectric resonators and acoustic transmission-radiation systems), the technique proved useful to predict the behaviours. Two separate programs have thus been developed. These programs are now combined, with compatibility for sound pressure and particle velocity introduced for the resonator-medium interface. It is again confirmed that the technique is useful for the computer simulation and computer-aided design of this kind of problems.
