چکیده
This paper is concerned with the development of a piezoelectric d15 shear-induced torsion actuator made of a lead-free piezoceramic material exhibiting giant piezoelectric shear stress coefficient (e15) and piezoelectric transverse shear actuation force comparable to that of lead-based shear-mode piezoceramics. The Mn-modified 0.93(Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3)-0.07BaTiO3 (NBT-BT-Mn) composition exhibited excellent properties as a torsional transducer with piezoelectric shear stress coefficient on the order of 11.6 C m-2. The torsional transducer, consisting of two oppositely polarized NBT-BT-Mn d15 mode piezoceramic shear patches, provided a rate of twist of 0.08 mm m-1 V-1 under quasi-static 150 V drive. The high value of piezoelectric shear d15 coefficient in NBT-BT-Mn sample further demonstrated its potential in practical applications. These results confirm that the lead-free piezoceramics can be as effective as their lead-based counterparts.

متن کاملImproving the functional properties of (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 piezoceramics by acceptor doping
ZrO2 and TiO2 modified lead-free (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (KNN) piezoelectric ceramics are prepared by conventional solid-state reaction. The effect of acceptor doping on structural and functional properties are investigated. A decrease in the Curie temperature and an increase in the dielectric constant values are observed when doping. More interestingly, an increase in the coercive field Ec and remanen...
