An Equivalent Circuit of Longitudinal Vibration for a Piezoelectric Structure with Losses

Abstract: Equivalent circuits of piezoelectric structures such as bimorphs and unimorphs conventionally focus on the bending vibration modes. However, the longitudinal vibration modes are rarely considered even though they also play a remarkable role in piezoelectric devices. Losses, especially elastic loss in the metal substrate, are also generally neglected, which leads to discrepancies compared with experiments. In this paper, a novel equivalent circuit with four kinds of losses is proposed for a beamlike piezoelectr… Show more

“…In this paper, the tangent function tanϕ e is applied to represent the elastic loss factor of the metal substrate, and the tangent functions with superscript “’”— tanδ′, tanϕ′, and tanθ′—are used to represent dielectric, elastic, and piezoelectric loss factors in the PZT (Uchino et al, 2011; Yuan et al, 2018). Here we impose the superscript “*” to indicate the complex number parameters of the PZT and metal substrate (Chen et al, 2006).…”

“…For the stackable piezoelectric actuator, the polarization direction of each piezoelectric patch is in the x axis. Applying the same external voltage to each piezoelectric patch, the constitutive equations are written as [22] {εx=nCEσxp+ndExDx=ndσxp+nεσEx where σxp is the stress, CE is the elastic compliance constant, d is the piezoelectric strain constant, Ex=u0/th is the electric intensity along the x direction, Dx is the electric displacement, εσ is the dielectric constant, u0 is the external applied voltage, th is the thickness of each piezoelectric patch, and n is the number of piezoelectric patches in the stackable piezoelectric actuator.…”

“…Since we proceed from the assumption that the materials of the piezoelectric element and structure are elastic, it seems reasonable to take into account energy losses due to the internal loss mechanisms both in the piezoelectric material and in the material of the main structure. The mechanisms of losses in piezoelectric materials have been studied for a rather long time, and in the literature there have been many relevant studies (Ala et al, 2014a, 2014b; Chen et al, 2006; Dong et al, 2017; Holland, 1967; Sherrit (1999); Uchino et al, 2011; Yuan et al, 2018). Holland (1967) and Uchino et al (2011) described in detail the losses in piezoelectric, which could be of three types: dielectric, elastic, and piezoelectric.…”

“…This is the energy loss, which occurs in a basic structure made of viscoelastic material, which is a substrate for piezoelectric element. In Yuan et al (2018), the authors emphasized that even in metal (aluminum) structures, in which the metal substrates constitute a larger part of the structure, the energy losses should be taken into account on the equal basis with the losses in piezoelectric ceramics.…”
