  1. Improved design and manufacturing of low frequency broadband underwater transducers Speaker: Andreas Behringer, PhD candidate at University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands #UDT2019

  2. Why broadband underwater transducers? #UDT2019 Image from unetstack.net

  3. Current transducer technology Free flooded ring Flextensional Image from massa.com Image from neptune-sonar.co.uk Image from sensortechcanada.com Both types are omnidirectional! #UDT2019

  4. How can we improve on this? - More bandwidth - Higher output - Higher efficiency - Directionality improves efficiency! #UDT2019

  5. Getting directionality Butler, Comsol Conference 2010 #UDT2019

  6. A different approach #UDT2019

  7. Materializing the idea - Simulating the structure in COMSOL - Exchange the metal for 3D printable plastic - Scale the structure - Print and measure #UDT2019

  8. Measurement setup 24.5 cm = λ @1400 Hz 2.85 cm Microphone Array Laser Doppler Vibrometer #UDT2019

  9. Results: Laser Doppler Velocimetry #UDT2019

  10. Results: Microphone Array #UDT2019

  11. Conclusions and Outlook - Asymmetric shell works - Achieved directionality at subwavelength scale Further work: - Build prototype in metal - Optimize structure for higher bandwidth - Improve directionality #UDT2019

  12. Thank you for your attention! Speaker: Andreas Behringer, PhD candidate at UvA, Netherlands Co-Authors: S.P. Beerens, TNO, Netherlands E. van der Spek, DMO, Netherlands R. Sprik, UvA, Netherlands Contact: a.behringer@uva.nl #UDT2019
