3.7: Transducer Modeling<br />

In high-technology manufacturing, part design and simulation of part<br />

inspection is done in the virtual world of the computer. Transducer modeling<br />

is necessary to make accurate predictions of how a part or component might<br />

be inspected, prior to the actual building of that part. Computer modeling is<br />

also used to design ultrasonic transducers.<br />

As noted in the previous section, an ultrasonic transducer may be<br />

characterized by detailed measurements of its electrical and sound radiation<br />

properties. Such measurements can completely determine the response of<br />

any one individual transducer.
