Abstract
The method of piezoelectric finite elements was applied to the simulation of piezoelectric Lamb-wave delay lines with and without acoustical absorbers. In this finite-element analysis, free as well as electrically driven vibrations were computed. The shapes of the symmetric Lamb modes were determined by the solution of eigenproblems, and the transient mechanical build-up process was studied for a switched electrical sine wave excitation. The transfer function, the group delay time, and the impedance matrix of devices of different designs are calculated. The good agreement between simulation and experimental results indicates the suitability of the finite-element method for optimizing acoustic delay-line devices.<>Keywords
