Most existing carbon fiber composite materials are formed by high-temperature molding of multiple layers of fiber cloth. During the manufacturing and usage processes, materials are prone to defects such as voids, delamination, and inclusions, which seriously threaten their service life and safety performance. Ultrasonic testing is currently a widely adopted method for detecting defects in carbon fiber composite materials. However, existing narrow-pulse ultrasonic transducers often have to sacrifice emission energy to achieve narrow-pulse emission, which results in their limited ability to penetrate thicker carbon fiber composite materials. To address this issue, this paper proposes the design of a focused laminated transducer. By stacking and bonding lead titanate piezoelectric wafers and using a concave lens made of organic glass to focus ultrasonic waves, the emission sound intensity of the ultrasonic transducer is enhanced. The simulation results show that the designed focused double-stack transducer has a directivity gain that is 4.49 dB higher than that of the traditional single-piezoelectric-wafer transducer. The transducer fabricated based on this design has successfully achieved effective detection of internal defects in carbon fiber composite materials.
