Novel Traveling Wave Sandwich Piezoelectric Transducer with Single Phase Drive: Theoretical Modeling, Experimental Validation, and Application Investigation

Abstract Most of traditional traveling wave piezoelectric transducers are driven by two phase different excitation signals, leading to a complex control system and seriously limiting their applications in industry. To overcome these issues, a novel traveling wave sandwich piezoelectric transducer wi...
