Abstract

Ultrasonic transducers can be leveraged to transmit power and data through metallic enclosures such as Faraday cages for which standard electromagnetic methods are infeasible. The design of these systems features a number of variables that must be carefully tweaked for optimal data and power transfer rate and efficiency. The objective of this work is to present a toolkit, COMET, standing for Computational Optimization of Mechanical Energy Transduction, in which the design process and analysis of such transducer systems is streamlined. The toolkit features flexible tools for introducing an arbitrary number of backing/bonding layers, material libraries, parameter sweeps, and optimization.
