Visualization techniques for bulk wave resonators

An overview of some fundamental algorithms for visualizing multidimensional data sets is given. These techniques are applied to ongoing research problems in bulk wave piezoelectric resonators. A set of two-dimensonal routines is presented. For modeling a vibrating resonator using 3-D finite elements, a combination of slicing, isosurface contours, and volume visualization is used. These techniques are also applicable to layerwise plate theory. It is shown that using visualization tools can greatly enhance the process of scientific discovery and progress in this area of research.<
