Abstract
This article represents the first step in an attempt to obtain an analytical model of a cymbal transducer. The structure is considered as two mechanically coupled systems (i.e. a piezoelectric disc producing radial motion and end caps amplifying under the compression caused by this radial behaviour). Therefore, an analytical model of the piezoelectric disc, core driver of the cymbal, and its dynamics under an electrical signal are presented in this article. The function describing the radial motion of the disc, distribution of the electrical potential along the thickness, and displacement along the thickness are obtained analytically. The obtained radial motion function will be used for modelling the end cap amplification as a compressive loading.
