Abstract:

A mathematical model is presented that defines the normalized equivalent source strength for the Class I and approximates the Class II Flextensional Underwater Acoustic Transducer Shells. The predicted variations in the normalized equivalent source strengths for various curved beam opening angles and Ld ratios are presented. Author
