Optimization of a circular piezoelectric bimorph for a micropump driver
Piezoelectric bimorph actuation has been successfully used in numerous types of microdevices, most notably micropumps. However, even for the simple case of circular geometry, analytical treatments are severely limited. This study utilized the finite-element method to optimize the deflection of a circular bimorph consisting of a single piezoelectric actuator, bonding material and elastic plate o...
متن کاملModeling of the Through-the-Thickness Electric Potentials of a Piezoelectric Bimorph Using the Spectral Element Method
An efficient spectral element (SE) with electric potential degrees of freedom (DOF) is proposed to investigate the static electromechanical responses of a piezoelectric bimorph for its actuator and sensor functions. A sublayer model based on the piecewise linear approximation for the electric potential is used to describe the nonlinear distribution of electric potential through the thickness of...
متن کاملA Bimorph Multi-layer Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Harvester
This paper reports a bimorph piezoelectric vibration energy harvester incorporating multiple PZT layers. The advantage of a multi-layer generator is that it produces a higher power than a single-layer generator having the same total thickness. In addition, a lower voltage is required to polarize a multi-layer generator reducing the risk of breakdown during polarization. Moreover, the optimum re...
متن کاملOn the electromechanics of a piezoelectric transducer using a bimorph cantilever undergoing asymmetric sensing and actuation
This paper presents an analytical, numerical and experimental study of an asymmetric piezoelectric actuator/sensor cantilever beam. The structure consists in a three-layered laminate with a piezoceramic acting as actuator, an elastic material layer and a second piezoceramic layer that can operate as a sensor or actuator. The coupled expansion-bending motion of the system is analytically resolve...
متن کاملA low frequency piezoelectric power harvester using a spiral-shaped bimorph
We propose a spiral-shaped piezoelectric bimorph power harvester operating with coupled flexural and extensional vibration modes for applications to low frequency energy sources. A theoretical analysis is performed and the computational results show that the spiral structure has relatively low operating frequency compared to beam power harvesters of the same size. It is found that to optimize t...
