The main objective of this study is to reduce optimal vibration suppression of Timoshenko beam under non-periodic step and impulse inputs. Cantilever beam was modeled by Timoshenko theory and finite element numerical method. Stiffness (K), mass (M), and damping (C) matrices are extracted. Then, in order to control structure vibration, piezoelectric patches were used due to simultaneous dual beh...

The sensor's stress electrostatic are explained in sensor, all variables impacting induced output voltage covered. Piezoelectric materials such as PZT-5A, PZT-5J, PVDF, PMN-PT, LiNbO3, AlN, ZnO used to create sensors. COMSOL Multiphysics simulator simulates suggested sen...

Single crystalline PbZr(0.2)Ti(0.8) (PZT) nanowires arrays (NWAs) with taper morphology were epitaxially grown on SrTiO(3) (STO) substrate using pulse laser deposition. The taper morphology was attributed to the overcoating of PZT layer via a lateral growth of PZT clusters/adatoms during PZT NW growth. The growth window for PZT film or nanowire was systematically studied at varied temperatures ...

In this work, after investigating three typical magneto-electric (ME) composites, Permendur/Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3(PZT), Metglas/PZT, and Tefenol-D/PZT, with the same dimensions and different saturation magnetostriction and magnetic permeability, the most excellent ME performance is observed in the Permendur/PZT laminates, which agrees well with the predicted results from the figure of merit. The l...

Piezoceramic patch sensors have to withstand the primary stresses and strains of a structure during operation. In the leading project ‘Adaptronics’ a lifespan of 106 cycles at 0.1% strain was required for sensors applied on components of steel and carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). In order to test the reliability of the patches themselves and of their adhesion on the substrate, special fo...

This article presents a new self-powered wireless failure detection method that uses different signal transmission rates from piezoelectric energy harvesters. Reliable sensor network has been challenging due to the power supply issue, often covered by batteries need regular replacement. Piezoelectric harvesting is an excellent option sensors in vibrational environment, but level limited input e...

A multilayer ceramic actuator composed of piezoelectrically active Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)0.2–Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O0.8 (PZN–PZT) layers and electrically conducting PZN–PZT/Ag layers was fabricated by the co-extrusion process. For the piezoelectric layers, PZN–PZT, which is sinterable at a low temperature (9001C), was used. For the conducting layers, a PZN–PZT/Ag composite, made by mixing silver particles with...

In this article, we studied how surfactants can impact Pb (Zr0.53Ti0.47) O3 (PZT) nanocrystal formation to result in interesting nanohexagon and nanorod shapes of PZT crystal. The PZT nanohexagons/nanorods with typical diameters and bounding lengths within the nanometer range were synthesized by sintering the mixture of PZT crystals. After annealing at 800 1C for 3 h, PZT nanohexagons were form...
