**TransientBVD** is a Python library for analyzing and optimizing the transient response of ultrasonic transducers (or other resonant systems) modeled by the Butterworth-Van Dyke (BVD) equivalent circuit. It implements advanced methods for both **deactivation** (resistive damping) and **activation** (voltage overboost) strategies, significantly reducing transient response times.
## Features
- **Deactivation damping**: Quickly compute an optimal parallel resistor \(R_p\) to minimize deactivation transient response times.
- **Activation overboost**: Determine switching strategies (e.g. voltage amplitude changes) to reduce activation transient response times.
- **Comprehensive analysis**: Includes handy methods like `print_deactivation_potential` and `print_activation_potential` for quick insights.
- **Transducer utility**: Load already measured example transducers or define your own BVD parameters.
- **Integration**: Built on Python (NumPy, SciPy, Sympy) for both symbolic and numeric calculations.
