Due　to　the　simple　wave　structure　and　low-attenuation　and　non-dispersive　properties,　the　lowest-order　shear　horizontal　mode　SHo　can　realize　the　efficient　large-scale　damage　detection　in　plate　structures　and　shows　a　great　application　potential　in　non-destructive　testing　and　structural　health　monitoring.　In　order　to　excite　SH(0　)mode　in　aluminum　plates,　a　direction-tunable　shear-horizontal　mode　array　magnetostrictive　patch　transducer　(DT-SHMAMPT)　is　developed　based　on　the　magnetostrictive　effect.　The　proposed　DT-SHMA-MPT　consists　of　a　transducer　sleeve,　four　identical　planar　fan-shaped　meander　coils,　four　identical　fan-shaped　NdFeB　permanent　magnets,　and　a　circular　nickel　patch.　Four　identical　planar　fan-shaped　meander　coils　are　connected　in　parallel　to　form　a　meander　coil　array.　These　planar　fen-shaped　meander　coils　are　double-layer　structures　and　made　of　flexible　printed　circuit　(FPC).　The　experimental　results　show　that　the　developed　DT-SHMA-MPT　can　effectively　excite　and　receive　a　single　SHo　mode　in　aluminum　plates.　For　the　DT-SHMA-MPT　with　n　planar　fan-shaped　meander　coils　and　n　fanshaped　permanent　magnets　(n　=　4,　3,2),　its　frequency　response　characteristics　are　tested　at　the　center　frequencies　of　775　kHz,　780　kHz,　and　783　kHz,　which　are　close　to　the　predicted　value.　Furthermore,　the　effects　of　the　number　of　fan-shaped　meander　coils　and　corresponding　permanent　magnets　on　the　directivity　of　the　transducer　are　also　investigated.　The　acoustic　field　distribution　or　the　directivity　of　the　transducer　directly　depends　on　the　number　of　fan-shaped　meander　coils　and　permanent　magnets.　Finally,　the　direction　tuning　of　proposed　transducer　is　investigated.　The　ability　of　excitation　and　reception　of　this　transducer　can　be　controlled　by　tuning　the　directional　arrangement　of　fan-shaped　meander　coils　and　permanent　magnets.
