Piezoelectrically Actuated Flextensional MUTs
This paper presents novel micromachined two-dimensional array piezoelectrically actuated flextensional transducers that can be used to generate sound in air or water. Micromachining techniques to fabricate these devices are also presented. Individual unimorph array elements consist of a thin piezoelectric annular disk and a thin, fully clamped, circular plate. We manufacture the transducer in t...
متن کاملOur Experience with Single Crystal Piezocomposite Transducer Materials
Piezocomposite materials have significantly improved the performance of ultrasonic testing. When compared to monolithic piezoceramics, the coupling factor is higher and the acoustic impedance is lower. Both of these factors contribute to improved sensitivity and bandwidth. More recently, single-crystal piezoelectric materials are being developed. These new materials, when fabricated into piezoc...
متن کاملMeso scale flextensional piezoelectric actuators
We present an ultra-thin meso scale piezoelectric actuator consisting of a piezoceramic beam and a carbon fiber displacement-amplification frame. We show that the actuator can be designed to achieve a wide range of force/displacement characteristics on the mN/μm scales. The best performing design achieved a free displacement of 106 μm and a blocked force of 73 mN, yielding a total energy densit...
متن کاملLiving with Worry: The Experience of Mothers with Deaf Child
Background Born of a child with hearing loss is a stressful and unexpected experience for the parents. Understanding the experience of the mothers of children with hearing loss is a crucial to provide an appropriate care for this group of mothers.This study aimed to understand the concerns of the mothers who have a child with congenitally hearing loss. Materials and Methods In this qualitative...
متن کاملOptimum Design of Flextensional Piezoelectric Actuators into Two Spatial Dimensions
In control of distributed parameter systems the piezoelectric actuators are of common use. The topology optimization of a multiphysic model in piezoelectricity is considered. The topological derivative of a tracking-type shape functional is derived in its closed form for the purpose of shape optimization of piezoelectric actuators. The optimum design procedure is applied to a micromechanism whi...
