ABSTRACT:
An electro-mechanical spring which provides amplified motion as well as a compliant structure for attachment, at the locations of maximum motion, to other mechanical or acoustical loads or elements. The spring produces motion in a directional orthogonal to the direction of a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive drive member connected along the major axis of a complete shell. The electro-mechanical spring provides a means for obtaining a low frequency large displacement piston type transducer.
