We propose a new structure for piezoelectric energy harvesters. It consists of an elastic beam with two pairs of piezoelectric films operating with the fundamental flexural modes in perpendicular directions. A one-dimensional model is developed and used to analyze the proposed structure. The output power density is calculated and examined. Results show that, with simultaneous flexural motions in two...
We study the effects of interface bonding on acoustic wave generation in an elastic body using surfacemounted piezoelectric transducers driven electrically. A theoretical analysis is performed based on a physical model of a piezoelectric layer on an elastic substrate. The transducer-substrate interface is described by the shear-slip model, representing a viscoelastic interface. Different from the...
A theoretical analysis is performed on thicknessshear vibrations of a contoured AT-cut quartz resonator with a hyperbolic thickness variation using the Legendre equation and hypergeometric function. Based on the solution, resonant frequencies and modes are calculated. Strong energy trapping of the modes is observed. The effects of the parameters of the hyperbolic contour on resonant frequencies and...
The existence and propagation of Bleustein-Gulyaev (B-G) waves in a functionally graded piezoelectric substrate with exponential variation is studied by analytical technique. The dispersion equations for the existence of the B-G waves with respect to phase velocity are obtained for both electrically open and short conditions. A detailed investigation of the effect of the gradient coefficient on dispersion...
We demonstrate experimentally a new technique for measuring unambiguously the surface displacement of a vibrating surface using a high sensitivity pulsed laser vibrometer based on the photo-electromotive-force (photo-EMF) sensors. By intentionally introducing a reference vibration with known frequency and amplitude, we show that the photo-EMF pulsed laser vibrometer is able to determine the absolute...
We present a sensitive laser vibrometer using a photo-electromotive force (photo-EMF) sensor and a pulsed light source. This system demonstrates real-time vibration detection on rough surfaces with displacements as small as 180 pm.
