In the present study, the classical plate theory (CPT) was used to study sound radiation of forced vibrating thin circular plates coupled with piezoelectric layers using simply supported and clamped boundary conditions. The novelty of the study consists of an exact closed-form solution that was developed without any use of approximation. Piezoelectric, electrical potential loaded in the transve...

Research on shunted piezoelectric transducers, performed mainly over the past decade, has generated new opportunities for control of vibration and damping in flexible structures. This is made possible by the strong electromechanical coupling associated with modern piezoelectric transducers. In vibration control applications, a piezoelectric transducer is bonded to, or embedded in a base structu...

abstract: the main aim of the vibration energy harvesters is to locally power autonomous devices such as wireless sensors. generally, power levels are low and the environmental benefit of the technology is to replace batteries rather than saving energy per se. piezoelectric vibrational energy harvesters are usually inertial mass based devices, where a cantilever beam with a piezoelectric outer ...

The piezoelectric effect of biological piezoelectric materials promotes bone growth. However, the material should be subjected to stress before it can produce an electric charge that promotes bone repair and reconstruction conducive to fracture healing. A novel method for in vitro experimentation of biological piezoelectric materials with physiological load is presented. A dynamic loading devic...

The paper deals with the mechanical behavior of a micro-beam bonded with two piezoelectric layers. The micro-beam is suspended over a fixed substrate and undergoes the both piezoelectric and electrostatic actuation. The piezoelectric layers are poled through the thickness and equipped with surface electrodes. The equation governing the micro-beam deflection under electrostatic pressure is deriv...
