Nonlinear properties of lead zirconate-titanate ~PZT! piezoceramics are investigated using ultrasonic second harmonic generation technique. When a sinusoidal ultrasonic wave of frequency v0 is sent into a nonlinear material, the second harmonic wave with frequency 2v0 is generated. Through measuring the absolute amplitude of the fundamental (v0) and of the second harmonic (2v0) waves, the ultra...

Phase velocities of ultrasound are used for characterizing elastic properties of solids. One of the basic requirements is that the sample area should be much larger than the size of the transducer so that plane wave approximation will hold. This geometric requirement may not be possible to realize for some materials that can only be made in very small size. Using poled and unpoled lead zirconat...

In this paper, a piezoelectrically actuated four-bar mechanism with two flexible links is proposed to be used in a micromechanical flying insect robot wing thorax for stroke amplification. PZT-5H and PZN-PT based unimorph actuators are utilized at the input link of the four-bar for a compact and light weight thorax transmission mechanism. The kinematics and dynamics of the proposed wing structu...

This paper focuses on the design, fabrication and characterization of unimorph actuators for a microaerial flapping mechanism. PZT-5H and PZN-PT are investigated as piezoelectric layers in the unimorph actuators. Design issues for microaerial flapping actuators are discussed, and criteria for the optimal dimensions of actuators are determined. For low power consumption actuation, a square wave ...

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) has been widely used because of its electrochemical effect, but effect on soil microorganisms is rarely studied. In this study, laboratory microcosms with different moisture content and pH were established to explore the effects PZT-5H bimorph quantities states after 49 days. Plate counting was study number changes bacteria, fungi actinomycetes. Isothermal microcal...

An approach of Green’s function is adopted to solve the inhomogeneous linear differential equations representing wave equations in piezo-composite materials. In particular, transference of horizontally polarised shear (SH) waves is considered in bedded structure comprising of porous-piezo electric layer lying over a heterogeneous half-space. Propagation of SH-waves is considered to be influence...

Abaqus/Standard simulation of Lamb waves in smart composite plates is investigated for detecting delamination type damage. Composite plates typical of aerospace structures are used and a PZT actuator is surface bonded to excite Lamb waves. Abaqus model of composite plate uses layered solid elements. Piezoelectric (PZT-5H) actuator is modeled using piezoelectric elements that have both displacem...
