1.1 Ultra-precision moving positioning stage A typical ultra-precision moving positioning stage is often used in ultra-precision manufacturing system for its nanometer displacement and fast linear moving speed. Usually, such platform consists of electric amplifiers, piezoelectric actuators and loads. As hysteresis is inherent in piezoelectric actuator, the amplifier and load can be considered a...

This paper presents a finite element formulation for the dynamics analysis of the steady and transient states of a nonlinear piezoelectric beam. A piezoelectric beam with damping is studied under harmonic excitation. A numerical method is used for this analysis. In the paper, the central difference formula of four order is used and compared with the central difference formula of two order in th...

In this study, we consider the propagation of the Love-type wave in piezoelectric gradient covering layer on an elastic half-space having an imperfect interface between them. Dispersion relation has been obtained in the form of determinant for both electrically open and short cases. The effects of different material gradient coefficients of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) and ...

in this paper, a numerical solution procedure is presented for the forced vibration of a piezoelectric nanowire under thermo-electro-mechanical loads based on the nonlocal elasticity theory within the framework of timoshenko beam theory. using hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing differential equations are derived. the governing equations and the related boundary conditions are discreti...

A beam containing a piezoelectric layer or layers is used for harvesting from various processes. The structure of the made by gluing material on one side (unimorph) both sides (bimorph) carrying substrate. Two layers, glued substrate, may be electrically parallel series connected. This paper presents an experimental analysis impact and connections two Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) MFC patches in ...

In this research, static stresses analysis of boron nitride nano - tube reinforced composite (BNNTRC) cylinder made of poly - vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) subjected to non - axisymmetric thermo - mechanical loads and applied voltage is developed. The surrounded elastic medium is modelled by Pasternak foundation. Composite structure is modeled based on piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PFR...

In this paper, a new antenna is presented which has an application in cellular telecommunication systems. The designed antenna works at the frequency range of 1900-2600 MHz which is able to cover 2G, 3G and 4G (LTE) services of the cellular telecommunication. In this paper, the micro-strip structure has been used to design the antenna. The shape of the patches is triangular where a peripheral r...
