The study of piezoelectric material in the past was in T-Domain form; however, no one has studied piezoelectric material in the S-Domain form. This paper will present the piezoelectric material in the transfer function or S-Domain model. S-Domain is a well known mathematical model, used for analyzing the stability of the material and determining the stability limits. By using S-Domain in testin...

Lattice structures are presented with a piezoelectric sensitivity, d, much larger in magnitude than that of material comprising the lattice ribs. Large sensitivity is achieved by using piezoelectric bimorph elements as ribs; these bend in response to electric input, giving rise to a much larger displacement than for axial elements. Complex electrical connectivity is helpful but not necessary; s...

We have examined a piezoelectric unimorph cantilever (PUC) with unequal piezoelectric and nonpiezoelectric lengths for vibration energy harvesting theoretically by extending the analysis of a PUC with equal piezoelectric and nonpiezoelectric lengths. The theoretical approach was validated by experiments. A case study showed that for a fixed vibration frequency, the maximum open-circuit induced ...

Title of Document: ORIENTATION DEPENDENCE OF THE PIEZOELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF EPITAXIAL FERROELECTRIC THIN FILMS Jun Ouyang, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Directed By: Professor Alexander. L. Roytburd Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering There are both intrinsic piezoelectric response and extrinsic piezoelectric response in ferroelectric materials. The intrinsic piezoelectric response is due ...

in this paper, design and construction of a tactile sensor for measuring contact-force is presented. mechanism of measuring contact-force in this tactile sensor is based on impedance changing of piezoelectric crystal and voltage of different points in circuit as a result of applying force on the crystal. by considering a specific point in the circuit and recording the changes of its voltage, ma...

Several high-explosive (HE) crystals are known to be piezoelectric. However, no systematic study has been carried out on how this effect can utilized. In paper, we report the results of an analysis response composites consisting HE and a polymeric binder under electrostatic excitation. The considered 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine, pentae...

-In this paper, piezoelectric actuation is compared with electrostatic actuation for application in RF-MEMS switches with respect to actuation voltage and technological implementation. The expression for the actuation voltages of electrostatic and piezoelectric actuation are discussed and compared with respect to scaling. Calculation examples show actuation voltages for a cantilever beam of 1μm...
