The subject of this book is the theory, development and design of
electroacoustic transducers for underwater applications. It is more
comprehensive than any existing book in this field. It includes the
basics of the six major types of electroacoustic transducers and
shows why piezoelectric ceramic transducers are the most suitable
for underwater sound. It presents the basic acoustic concepts and
models needed in transducer and transducer array development, and
discusses most currently used transducer designs. It analyzes
nonlinear effects and describes methods of transducer evaluation
and measurement. The extensive Appendix and numerous diagrams provide
an up to date source for use by students and practicing engineers and
scientists.

A complete set of exercises and solutions from the book are currently
available on the Springer website.
