description Non-uniform composite structures for transducers exhibit considerable potential in enhancing impedance matching and efficiency. Here, a functionally graded material composite spherical piezoelectric transducer (FGM-cSPT) is proposed, and a three-port electromechanical equivalent circuit model is established. The correctness of the theoretical model is verified using the finite element method and experiment. Based on the theoretical model, the effects of the non-uniform coefficient and the geometric dimension of FGM-cSPT on the electromechanical vibration characteristics (resonance frequency, anti-resonance frequency, and effective electromechanical coupling coefficient) of the transducer are analyzed. The results show that the non-uniform coefficient and geometric dimension can effectively regulate the vibration characteristics of the FGM-cSPT, which can be used to guide engineering design. Our methodology will offer possibilities for designing FGM-cSPTs and may promote applications in various fields, such as marine exploitation, structural health detection, and energy collection.
