Analysis of Rosen piezoelectric transformers with a varying cross-section

We study the effects of a varying cross-section on the performance of Rosen piezoelectric transformers operating with length extensional modes of rods. A theoretical analysis is performed using an extended version of a one- dimensional model developed in a previous paper. Numerical results based on the theoretical analysis are presented.
