The design of high power ultrasonic transducers

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the design and construction of high power ultrasound transducers as well as some of the effects of high power ultrasound. The two design approaches that are researched and applied are the equivalent circuit method and Finite Element Method (FEM). These methods are used in conjunction with each other to design three different transducers, which are then built and tested at low and high powers.
