According to Stroh formalism, the electric field is obtained based on the semi-permeable electrical boundary condition inside the crack. Then, the crack propagation effects of the electric field without PD are discussed through considering the contribution of the induced electric field inside the deformed crack space to the total energy release rate, and the effect of partial discharge on the crack propagation is also derived under the assumption of the streamer-type mechanism. Finally, the electric field curves and the energy release rate before PD are numerically calculated in the condition of different environments under remote mechanic-electric loads to investigate its effects on crack growth. It is found that the process of partial discharge is very complex and accompanied with randomness in a semi-permeable crack, and the applied mechanical stress, the electric field and dielectric ratio have influence on the crack propagation of piezoelectric materials.","PeriodicalId":205914,"journal":{"name":"2015 Symposium on Piezoelectricity, Acoustic Waves, and Device Applications (SPAWDA)","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124956119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detailed restoring forces of the tristable energy harvester under different swing angles are measured and the corresponding potential energy functions are obtained.

In order to improve the parametric array's conversion efficiency, the paper combined the backward implicit finite difference(IBFD) method and Crank-Nicolson finite difference(CNFD) method to solve the KZK equation. We also studied the parametric array's nonlinear sound field of the annular transducer, and compared the parametric array's sound fields of the circular transducer with the same radiation area. The simulation results showed that the annular transducer could also generate low frequency sound beam with high directivity, and the annular transducer source has a slightly higher difference frequency sound pressure amplitude.","PeriodicalId":205914,"journal":{"name":"2015 Symposium on Piezoelectricity, Acoustic Waves, and Device Applications (SPAWDA)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124637497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With only 4 mol% manganese substitution, the piezoelectric properties of the BTF-Mn ceramics are optimal, exhibiting a high piezoelectric coefficient (d33~23 pC/N), and a low dielectric loss tanδ (~0.3% at 1 kHz). The temperature-dependent dielectric spectra reveal that the BTF-Mn ceramics possess a high Curie temperature of 765 °C.

Primarily, the anti-collision unit of the SAW tags is studied from three aspects: the encoding method, the symmetry problem and the compatible code group of the CIDT. Then, the responses of the transducer-based SAW tags which consist of one input 7-bit Barker coded CIDT and four output IDTs in different correlation cases are studied.
