title: Space distribution of harmonic mode vibration amplitudes in nonlinear finite piezoelectric transducer.
abstract: Nonlinear elastic vibrations of cylindrical piezoelectric transducers are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. A particular behaviour, that relates the space distribution of the fundamental mode vibration to those of the second and third harmonic components, is observed. A simplified physical interpretation of the phenomenon is given.
