Resonant electromechanical vibrations of piezoelectric shells of revolution (review)

Scientific results from studies on the resonant electromechanical vibrations of piezoceramic thin-walled shells of revolution, their fragments, and segmented cylinders are analyzed, systematized, and generalized. Considerable attention is focused on experimental studies of resonant vibrations. It is shown that the modes in which deformation occurs inphase throughout the volume are of the highest intensity in all piezoceramic shell structures __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 4, pp. 3–34, April 2008.     

Resonant Electromechanical Vibrations of Piezoelectric Plates

The scientific results on the resonant electromechanical vibrations of piezoceramic plates in the form of disks, rings, and polygons obtained over the last 30 years are analyzed, systematized, and generalized. Emphasis is on experimental methods. It is shown that all piezoceramic plates have vibration modes at which deformations are in-phase over the entire volume of the body __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 7, pp. 3–46, July 2005.     

Longitudinal Vibrations and Input Admittance of a Compound Piezoceramic Rectangular Plate with cross Polarization

We analyze the relations obtained earlier for the displacements and stresses components over a wide frequency range and derive expressions for the input admittance of a two-section planar transverse–longitudinal piezotransformer.     

Influence of the Geometry of a Piezotransformer Transducer on Its Electric Potential During Electroelastic Vibrations of a Piezoceramic Disk

The resonant radial vibrations of a thin piezoceramic disk with solid electrodes and thickness polarization are considered as an example to study the influence of the geometry of piezotransformer transducers on their electric potentials and the mutual influence of neighboring transducers__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 2, pp. 75–80, February 2005.     

Influence of Energy Losses on the Performance of a Piezoelectric Transformer Plate

The influence of dielectric, mechanical, and piezoelectric energy losses on the electroelastic characteristics of a piezoelectric transformer plate is analyzed. It is shown that only mechanical loss occurs at resonance frequencies
