Abstract
A method of designing and forming a piezoelectric ceramic crystal integrating an impedance matching region and a backing region. The method includes receiving one or more required operating parameters of the piezoelectric ceramic crystal for an application, iteratively modeling and simulating performance of one or more materials, structures, and gradients to utilize within the piezoelectric ceramic crystal, identifying at least one material, structure, or gradient that exhibits predicted performance that at least substantially achieves the one or more required operating parameters of the piezoelectric ceramic crystal, outputting a design of the piezoelectric ceramic crystal, and forming the piezoelectric ceramic crystal via one or more additive manufacturing processes.
