Experimental full field investigations of resonant vibrations for piezoceramic plates by an optical interferometry method

The experimental measurement of resonant frequencies for piezoelectric material is generally performed by impedance analysis. In this paper we employ an optical interferometry method, called amplitude-fluctuation electronic speckle pattern interferometry (AF-ESPI), to investigate the vibration characteristics of piezoceramic plates. This method demonstrates its advantages of combining noise reduction, like the subtraction method, and high fringe sensitivity, like the time-averaged method. As compared with the film recording and optical reconstruction procedures used for holographic interferometry, the interferometric fringes of AF-ESPI are produced instantly by a video recording system. Based on the fact that clear fringe patterns measured by the AF-ESPI method will be shown only at resonant frequencies, both the resonant frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are obtained experimentally at the same time. Excellent quality for the interferometric fringe patterns of the mode shapes is demonstrated. We find from experimental results that the out-of-plane vibration modes (type A) with lower resonant frequencies cannot be measured by impedance analysis and only the in-plane vibration modes (type B) will be shown. However, both the out-of-plane (bending) and in-plane (extension) vibration modes of piezoceramic plates are obtained by the AF-ESPI method. Finally, numberical finite element calculations are also performed, and the results are compared with the experimental measurements. Excellent agreement for the resonant frequencies and mode shapes are obtained from both results.     

Investigations on vibration characteristics of two-layered piezoceramic disks

This paper investigates the transverse and planar vibration characteristics of two-layered piezoceramic disks for traction-free boundary conditions by theoretical analysis, finite element numerical calculation, and experimental measurements. Amplitude-fluctuation electronic speckle pattern interferometry (AF-ESPI), laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV), and impedance analysis were used to perform measurements and verify the theoretical solutions for extensional, tangential, and transverse vibrations. The poling direction of piezoelectric elements determines whether they are denoted as either of series- or parallel-type. This study observed that the resonant frequencies and mode shapes of the series- and parallel-type piezoceramic disks present different dynamic characteristics in resonance. Planar and transverse vibrations are coupled in series-type piezoceramic disks and uncoupled in those of parallel-type. Good agreements of dynamic characteristics determined by theoretical analysis, experimental measurements, and numerical calculation are presented for series- and parallel-type piezoceramic disks.     

Experimental and numerical analysis of vibrating cracked plates at resonant frequencies

Owing to the advantages of noncontact and fullfield measurement, an optical system called the amplitude fluctuation electronic speckle pattern interferometry (AFESPI) method with an out-of-plane setup is employed to investigate the vibration of a cantilever square plate with a crack emanating from one edge. Based on the fact that clear fringe patterns will be shown by the AFESPI method only at resonant frequencies, both the resonant frequencies and the vibration mode shapes can be obtained experimentally at the same time. Three different crack locations will be discussed in detail in this study. One is parallel to the clamped edge, and the other two are perpendicular to the clamped edge. The numerical finite element calculations are compared with the experimental results, and good agreement is obtained for resonant frequencies and mode shapes. The influences of crack locations and lengths on the vibration behavior of the clamped cantilever plate are studied in terms of the dimensionless frequency parameter (λ ²) versus crack length ratio (a/L). The authors find that if the crack face displacements are out of phase, a large value of stress intensity factor may be induced, and the cracked plate will be dangerous from the fracture mechanics point of view. However, there are some resonant frequencies for which the crack face displacements are completely in phase, causing a zero stress intensity factor, and the cracked plate will be safe.

Digital Speckle Interferometry is a non invasive full-field coherent optical technique used in mechanical vibration measurement. In this research, it is used for tuning resonant frequencies of vibrating plates in order to investigate the dynamical behavior of perforated plates. The plate was excited to resonant vibration by a sinusoidal acoustic source. Fringe pattern produced during the time-average recording of the vibrating plate, for several resonant frequencies were registered. Results of plates fixed at one edge having internal holes and attached masses are presented. Experimental natural frequencies and modal shapes are compared to those obtained by an analytical approximate solution based on the Rayleigh–Ritz method with the use of orthogonal polynomials as coordinate function. A high degree of correlation between computational analysis and experimental results was observed, proving the potentiality of the optical technique as experimental validation of the numerical simulations.

Nonlinear vibrations of a sandwich piezo-beam system under piezoelectric actuation

The paper describes the use of active structures technology for deformation and nonlinear free vibrations control of a simply supported curved beam with upper and lower surface-bonded piezoelectric layers, when the curvature is a result of the electric field application. Each of the active layers behaves as a single actuator, but simultaneously the whole system may be treated as a piezoelectric composite bender. Controlled application of the voltage across piezoelectric layers leads to elongation of one layer and to shortening of another one, which results in the beam deflection. Both the Euler–Bernoulli and von Karman moderately large deformation theories are the basis for derivation of the nonlinear equations of motion. Approximate analytical solutions are found by using the Lindstedt–Poincaré method which belongs to perturbation techniques. The method makes possible to decompose the governing equations into a pair of differential equations for the static deflection and a set of differential equations for the transversal vibration of the beam. The static response of the system under the electric field is investigated initially. Then, the free vibrations of such deformed sandwich beams are studied to prove that statically pre-stressed beams have higher natural frequencies in regard to the straight ones and that this effect is stronger for the lower eigenfrequencies. The numerical analysis provides also a spectrum of the amplitude-dependent nonlinear frequencies and mode shapes for different geometrical configurations. It is demonstrated that the amplitude–frequency relation, which is of the hardening type for straight beams, may change from hard to soft for deformed beams, as it happens for the symmetric vibration modes. The hardening-type nonlinear behaviour is exhibited for the antisymmetric vibration modes, independently from the system stiffness and dimensions.

Nonlinear vibration analysis of piezoelectric bending actuators: Theoretical and experimental studies

Piezoelectric bimorph actuators are used in a variety of applications, including micro positioning, vibration control, and micro robotics. The nature of the aforementioned applications calls for the dynamic characteristics identification of actuator at the embodiment design stage. For decades, many linear models have been presented to describe the dynamic behavior of this type of actuators; however, in many situations, such as resonant actuation, the piezoelectric actuators exhibit a softening nonlinear behavior; hence, an accurate dynamic model is demanded to properly predict the nonlinearity. In this study, first, the nonlinear stress–strain relationship of a piezoelectric material at high frequencies is modified. Then, based on the obtained constitutive equations and Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, a continuous nonlinear dynamic model for a piezoelectric bending actuator is presented. Next, the method of multiple scales is used to solve the discretized nonlinear differential equations. Finally, the results are compared with the ones obtained experimentally and nonlinear parameters are identified considering frequency response and phase response simultaneously. Also, in order to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed model, it is tested out of the identification range as well.
