Composite-material vibrating device

摘要

A composite-material vibrating device includes a vibrating member, at least three reflective layers, and holding members. The vibrating member is made of material having a first acoustic impedance Z1 and that functions as a vibration generating source. The at least three reflective layers are made of material having a second acoustic impedance Z2 that is smaller than the first acoustic impedance Z1, and are coupled to respective outer surfaces located along three directions of the vibrating member. The holding members are made of a material having a third acoustic impedance Z3 that is greater than the second acoustic impedance Z2 and that are coupled to surfaces opposite to the surfaces, coupled to the vibrating member, of the reflective layers. Vibrations that have propagated from the vibrating member to the reflective layers are reflected at interfaces between the reflective layers and the corresponding holding members.
