Abstract: 

In this paper a Tonpilz transducer has been designed and analysed. This transducer consists of 6 piezoceramic rings stacked between an aluminum head mass and a steel tail mass connected by a steel bolt. The head mass is exposed to an unbounded region of water and a Perfectly Matched Layer is used to model the absorption of sound waves as they propagate far away from the sound source. The model designed using finite element method has been studied for Transmitting Voltage Response, Sound Pressure Level, Acoustic Impedance and Total Structural Displacement in the frequency range of 1-70 khz. This design has given the Sound Pressure Level of 208 db, Radiated Pressure Field of 64 Mpa and Transmitting Voltage Response 155 db at the frequency of 50 khz.
