the linear region,resulting in poor acoustic output quality of the transducer,a measuring platform for the magneto-mechanical characteristics of the giant magnetostrictive rod was designed and built,and the magneto-mechanical characteristics of the giant magnetostrictive rod were tested and analyzed under different conditions.The measurement results show that under the bias of 10 mm permanent magnet,the magneto-mechanical characteristics of the giant magnetostrictive rod are the best in the range of 16~28 MPa.Under high power conditions,magnetostrictive rods show strong hysteresis loss characteristics,which cannot be ignored in the modeling process.A material parameter inversion method for giant magnetostrictive rod is proposed.The sensitivity of the material parameters is analyzed and the key parameters affecting the performance of the transducer are established.The impedance characteristics of the electroacoustic transducer were tested,and the key performance parameters of the giant magnetostrictive rod were retrieved by finite element method and optimization algorithm,and the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified from the impedance perspective.The results show that the error is only 4.1%,which indicates the accuracy and applicability of the proposed method,and lays the parameter foundation for the multi-field modeling in the following chapter.(2)Centering on the effective description of the output characteristics of the electroacoustic transducer and the prototype structural optimization,the electroacoustic transducer electromagnetic-machine-acoustic circuit model based on the modularity idea is proposed.The modular model and coupling calculation method of each energy transformation link of the electroacoustic transducer are studied,and the impedance and output characteristics of the electroacoustic transducer are described considering the characteristics of magnetic leakage and material loss.The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by experiments.The experimental results show that the average error of simulation and experimental impedance is 2.6%.Simulation and experiment verify the accuracy of the proposed modeling method.(3)In order to improve the energy conversion efficiency of ultra-low frequency electroacoustic transducer,an optimization method for the development of ultra-low frequency electroacoustic transducer is proposed from the perspectives of electromagnetic structure and mechanical structure,which are the key components of energy conversion.In terms of electromagnetic structure,the giant magnetostrictive rod eddy current barrier technology was studied,the influence of different cutting modes was analyzed,and the improved radial cutting mode was determined,which achieved a significant reduction in eddy current loss,up to 82.6%.At the same time,the optimal design method of excitation coil was studied,and the eddy current loss under different wire structures and sizes was analyzed.In terms of mechanical structure,the influence law of different displacement amplifying structures on machine-acoustic performance was studied,and the IV shell structure was optimized,and then the overall parameters of the shell structure were determined by simulation.Finally,the electrical and acoustic characteristic parameters of the designed transducer are simulated and analyzed.(4)The methods of resisting strong seawater corrosion and high reliable water tightness for the high-power ultra-low frequency giant magnetostrictive transducer are studied.The solutions

transducer has a resonance frequency of 106 Hz and a TCR of178.11 d B when the excitation current is 16.6A.The sound source level is 197.2 d B,and the electro-acoustic efficiency is 25.2%.Sound source level index has reached the domestic advanced level.(5)The phase-controlled method and effect of the ultra-low frequency electroacoustic transducer in different array forms are studied.The results show that the phase-controlled technology can realize the high sound source level gain omnidirectional beam scanning.The feasibility of the phase control technique is verified based on the experiment of three-dimensional dense linear array.At the same time,the influence of mutual radiation on the output characteristics of the transducer under the condition of dense array is studied.The results show that the mutual radiation resistance between the arrays is negative under the condition of 1/4wavelength array and positive under the condition of 1/2 wavelength array,which can support the development of high-power electroacoustic transducer array. |
