The property of bonding layer between the PZT sensor/actuators and the host plate is taken into account based on the peel stress model as well as the shear lag model. The damage appearing in the plate is modeled by a change in Young's modulus in the damaged area. Then, the three-dimensional (3D) model of piezoelectric patch-adhesive-damaged plate coupled system is developed. Both the peel stress and the shear stress along the piezoelectric patches are simulated under various excitation frequencies. The numerical results show that excitation frequency affect remarkably the shear stress as well as the peel stress distribution between PZT wafers and host plate and thus some assumptions adopted in the conventional EMI models should be revised accordingly. Finally, the effects of damage severity and expansion on high-frequency EMI signatures are investigated. The simulation indicates that the present EMI model can be used to detect the damages in the structures.","PeriodicalId":285701,"journal":{"name":"2011 Symposium on Piezoelectricity, Acoustic Waves and Device Applications (SPAWDA)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114218211","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}

And then the sensitivity, linearity and thermal stability of the flexible film sensors are investigated. The results show that the sensitivity of the fabricated sensors up to 200 pC/N is achieved. The sensitivity is constant in the range of the applied pressure from 0.06 to 15 kPa. After an aging at the temperature of 70°C for 100h, the remaining sensitivity of the sensors is 50% of the initial value.

The higher the driving frequency, the larger delay phase angle of the PZT vibrator will be. Based on the delay phase angle of the PZT vibrator, a transfer-phase and sub-frequency (TPSF) technique was provided to capture the arbitrary phase of the dual synthetic jets, and a transfer-phase to equal (TPE) technique was provided to determine the phase of the dual synthetic jets. A PZT-driven dual synthetic jets actuator was measured based on the technique. The results demonstrate the TPSF and TPE techniques are effective. And a circle of the dual synthetic jets is divided into “left” stage and “right” stage. In the “left” stage, the dual synthetic jets flow-field is dominated by the left jet; and in the “right” stage, the dual synthetic jets flow-field is dominated by the right jet. In the near field downstream of the dual synthetic jets actuator, the two jets entrain fluid around them and interact with each other, and the flow-field is more complex and there is a phenomenon of “self-support” between the dual synthetic jets. In the far field downstream of the dual synthetic jets actuator, the two jets merge a single, more stable synthetic jet.","PeriodicalId":285701,"journal":{"name":"2011 Symposium on Piezoelectricity, Acoustic Waves and Device Applications (SPAWDA)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121340511","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}

Combined with the perturbation theory proposed by Tiersten and the Green's function simulator, the pressure-induced frequency shifts for STW on quartz are calculated. The calculated results demonstrate that the cut orientation in vicinity of BT cut membrane has simultaneously both high pressure sensitivity and delay temperature stability of STW. The pressure sensitivity is over three times that of the ST-cut quartz for SAW. In order to further improve the sensitivity of the sensor, a novel cantilever package is proposed. The geometry of the sensor is determined by using FEM software.
