Over the past few decades, piezoelectric materials have emerged as one of powerful platforms for energy harvesting applications. Nowadays, they offer sustainable solutions high-performance, low-power electronic devices required in numerous industry fields such aerospace, automotive, and biomedical devices. Ceramic-polymer composites combine advantages ceramics well mechanical flexibility weight...

Large piezoelectric properties was observed in (1-x)BZT-(x)BCT where x=0.5 or Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 (denoted as BCZT), leading to a promising candidate for lead-free materials. However, phase formation of the BCZT is controversial and still unclear since various coexistences were identified literatures, instances, mixed phases rhombohedral-tetragonal (R-T), ortho-rhombic-tetragonal (O-T) rho...

The influence of material functional heterogeneity on mechanical oscillations piezoelement under non-stationary electrical loading is investigated. Within the assumption distribution characteristics by thickness piezoelectric element, which corresponds to physical properties body, a unified system solving equations was obtained describe fluctuations plates, cylinders, and balls. For controlling...

Vibration mitigation is a prominent matter in several engineering fields. Several adverse phenomena are related to vibrations, such as fatigue, noise, etc. The availability of smart materials increases the solutions for both vibration damping and energy harvesting applications. Piezoelectric seem be most promising these However, their positioning significantly affects efficiency. studies were p...
