Book on transducers in marine or underwater acoustics

[Soilwork]

Hey I'm hoping there are some people involved in marine acoustics here :)
I was hoping that someone here could maybe recommend some good books or sites that exaplain the use of transducers in Marine Acousitcs.
I just need to have an idea of what sort of transducer I'm looking at. The carrier frequency of the transducer I need is 10 kHz. I found one transducer that looks like it can be used for it but I'm not sure. It's a TC1035.
Cheers for any recommendations :)

Nevermind I've found some transducers that can be used in the situation outlined in my assignment.
Does anyone know why you would use 10kHz transducer for a depth of 2 km??
I found a couple of sites that say the cone angle is very high for these lower frequencies.
I also saw that there is greater depth penetration for lower frequencies.
But I also saw that the wideness of the cone angle comes at the expense of depth penetration.
Anyway I'm a bit confused so any help would be great.
Cheers :)

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out regarding recommendations for a book on transducers in marine or underwater acoustics. As a marine acoustics enthusiast myself, I would be happy to recommend a few resources that may be helpful for your research.

Firstly, I would highly recommend the book "Underwater Acoustics: Analysis, Design and Performance of Sonar" by Richard P. Hodges. This book provides a comprehensive overview of transducers in marine acoustics and covers topics such as transducer design, performance, and applications in sonar systems. It also includes case studies and practical examples to help readers better understand the concepts.

Additionally, the book "Transducers in Underwater Acoustics: Principles and Applications" by John L. Butler is another great resource. This book delves into the principles of transducer operation, design, and performance in underwater environments. It also includes chapters on specific types of transducers, such as piezoelectric, magnetostrictive, and electrodynamic transducers.

In terms of websites, the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) has a technical committee on underwater acoustics that offers a variety of resources, including publications and technical reports, that may be helpful in your research. The ASA also hosts an annual conference on underwater acoustics, where you can learn about the latest developments in the field and network with other professionals.

As for the TC1035 transducer, it is important to consider the specific requirements for your application, such as the depth and range of operation, before determining if it is suitable. I would recommend consulting with a marine acoustics expert or referring to the resources mentioned above for further guidance.

I hope this helps and good luck with your research!
