These type microstructures, derived from controlled isovalent (ZrO/sub 2/) and/or aliovalent (Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/, Nd/sub 2/O/sub 3/) doping of the base BaTiO/sub 3/ material, were investigated for use as sensors, high strain response materials and high permittivity capacitors. Characteristic of these materials is a stress gradient in the grain, controlled by dopant inhomogeneity, creating a clamping of either the dielectric, resistance or piezoelectric properties.","PeriodicalId":14772,"journal":{"name":"ISAF '96.

RAINBOW (Reduced and INternally Biased Wafer) is a novel high displacement actuator and knowledge of its dynamic response is indeed essential for these applications. In an attempt to characterize the RAINBOW, measurements were made of important lumped mechanical and electrical parameters. Cantilevers of different dimensions were cut from RAINBOW discs. The data include measurements of the mechanical displacement (under both quasistatic conditions and electromechanical resonance), hysteresis, mechanical quality factor and the electrical impedance of RAINBOW cantilevers. These measurements demonstrate the macroscopic effects of the sinusoidal applied electric field and indicate significant non-linearities in the RAINBOW device.","PeriodicalId":14772,"journal":{"name":"ISAF '96.

In this study, electrostrictive properties of a polyurethane elastomer were investigated systematically. The elastic, dielectric and DSC spectroscopy analysis indicated the existence of two transition processes in the polyurethane from -50/spl deg/C to 80/spl deg/C. The field-induced strain coefficients exhibited large increases at the transition regions, indicating that the transition processes have a significant effect on the field-induced strain response. From the elastic and dielectric constant data, the contribution of uniform Maxwell stress was calculated, It was found that the contribution of the Maxwell stress effect to the measured strain coefficient increased from about 10% below the glass transition temperature, T/sub g/, (/spl sim/-25/spl deg/C) to about 50% and 35% for the frequencies of 10 Hz and 100 Hz, respectively, at /spl sim/40/spl deg/C, which is above T/sub g/. The difference between the measured strain response and the calculated Maxwell stress effect indicates a significant contribution from other mechanisms such as electrostriction.","PeriodicalId":14772,"journal":{"name":"ISAF '96.

Slow stress releases two output current flows with opposite directions, responding to the increasing and decreasing parts of the stress respectively. However, impact stress produces almost one direction signal. The output charge and energy produced by slow stress are found to be thousands of times higher than that produced by impact stress.
