  abstract = {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.},
