  text: Piezoelectric materials find wide application in technical systems. Most often,
    a combination of piezoelectric and other materials is advantageous. The position
    and the amount of the piezoelectric material within the overall system depends
    on various aspects like maximum mechanical output to the load, maximum electromechanical
    efficiency of the system, maximum utilization of the piezoelectric material, minimum
    self-heating of the piezoelectric material, and controllability of the system,
    which might be key aspects for the optimisation of the system design. For a composite
    longitudinal vibrator (bolted Langevin transducer), which is a base for many technical
    applications, this contribution shows in detail, how above mentioned aspects depend
    on the position and volume of the piezoelectric material related to the mode shape.
