In this paper, the full dynamic model describing vibrations of piezoceramic solids of hollow cylindrical shapes and accounting for the coupling of the solids to surrounding fluid/gas media has been analysed numerically. The major attention has been given to the case of radial preliminary polarisation of piezoceramics where a strong coupling between electric and mechanical fields is an essential...

The results of experimental studies are presented in order to study the features formation separated and vortex flows vicinity a transversely streamlined cylinder on surface hydraulically smooth rigid determine space-time characteristics sources wall pressure fluctuations. were carried out laboratory conditions cylinders, which located surface. field fluctuations was measured by group miniature...

The paper presents preliminary numerical and experimental studies of active textile-reinforced thermoplastic composites with embedded sensor-actuator arrays. The goal of the investigations was the assessment of directional sound wave generation capability using embedded sensor-actuator arrays and developed a wave excitation procedure for ultrasound measurement tasks. The feasibility of the prop...

Atomic force microscopes employ stacked or cylindrical piezoceramic actuators to achieve sub-angstrom resolution. While these devices produce excellent set-point accuracy, they exhibit hysteresis and constitutive nonlinearities even at low drive levels. Feedback mechanisms can mitigate the deleterious effects of these nonlinearities for low frequency operation but such techniques fail at higher...
