Numerical simulation of structure design of magnetoelectric composite ultrasonic levitation device based on multi-physical field coupling

Abstract Aiming at the coupling simulation problem that ignores the acoustic structure boundary in the traditional acoustic suspension simulation, based on the magnetostrictive effect, the piezoelectric effect, and the acoustic-structure coupling model, this paper uses a magnetoelectric structure composed of the magnetostrictive material Terfenol-D and the piezoelectric ceramic PZT-5H. The composite material is used as, and the magneto-electric-acoustic fully coupled model of the magneto-electric composite material is established and compared with the one-way coupling model; The particle levitation of magnetoelectric composite materials in the multi-field coupling environment of the magnetic field, electric field, sound field, and displacement field was simulated and calculated; the influence of different widths of magneto-electric composite materials and the size of the resonant cavity on the effect of acoustic levitation was analyzed, and the best results were obtained. The geometric parameters required for optimal suspension are analyzed; the sound pressure output performance of the overall magnetoelectric composite ultrasonic suspension device under the optimal size and the judgment of the suspension position is analyzed, and I displayed the good suspension of the simulated particles in the sound field visually. The research results show that the difference in the amplitude output of the transducer will affect the sound pressure output performance of the transducer, and there is a large error in the one-way coupling; the magnetoelectric composite material can be used as an ultrasonic transducer to achieve acoustic suspension, and suspended particles It shows a good acoustic levitation effect in the simulation. The fully coupled simulation of ultrasonic transducers and the research on such ultrasonic transducers can open new ideas for the research and development of new ultrasonic transducers in the future.
