KLM model for lossy piezoelectric transducers.
A KLM model has been developed using equivalent circuits to analyze the effects of different loss mechanisms on the transducer performance in the time and frequency domain. Transducers from two different piezoelectric materials (lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) and polyvinylidene fluoride) were constructed to validate our model. Experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical simulation.
