Abstract
A flextensional transducer projector shell design is disclosed. The shell design has a shape formed so as to reduce the stress placed on the transduction driver as compared to other shell designs. The shell design includes first and second bulbous end portions, which can each be adapted to receive a respective end of a transduction driver. A middle portion of the shell design has both concave sections and convex sections, thereby defining a wave profile.
