Pure parametric excitation of a micro cantilever beam actuated by piezoelectric layers

This paper deals with the stability analysis of transverse motions of a cantilever microbeam sandwiched by two piezoelectric layers located on the lower and upper surfaces of the microbeam. Application of same DC and AC voltages to the upper and lower piezoelectric layers creates an axial force with steady and time-varying components. The eigenfunction expansion of the transverse motion equation leads to the creation of a Mathieu type parametric equation which is mostly seen in the stability analysis of the structures in the literature; using Floquet theory for single degree of freedom systems the stable and unstable regions of the problem are investigated. The effect of viscous damping and DC voltage on the stability region of the problem is also studied. The results show the stabilizing effect of the viscous damping and positive DC voltage on the behavior of the microbeam. The achieved results are finally compared with those reported in the literature.

Fabrication of textured KNNT ceramics by reactive template grain growth using NN templates

Lead-free non-stoichiometric (K_0.470Na_0.545)(Nb_0.55Ta_0.45)O₃ (KNNT) textured ceramics were prepared by a reactive templated grain growth method using NaNbO₃ (NN) templates. The Plate-like NaNbO₃ (NN) templates were synthesized from bismuth layer-structured Bi_2.5Na_3.5Nb₅O₁₈ (BNN) particles by a topochemical microcrystal conversion (TMC) method. Using 5 wt% of NN templates, textured KNNT ceramics were fabricated, and their crystal structure, microstructure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were compared with non-textured KNNT ceramics prepared by a conventional solid state reaction method. The textured KNNT ceramics exhibited high grain orientation and high dielectric constant. In addition, piezoelectric properties of textured KNNT ceramics were improved, giving a high piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ = 390 pC/N and piezoelectric coupling coefficient k_p = 0.60.     

Piezoelectric activities and domain patterns of orthorhombic Ba(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramics

Ba(Zr_xTi_1?x)O₃ (0.025 ≤ x ≤ 0.065) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. Crystalline structures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. It was shown that all the Ba(Zr_xTi_1?x)O₃ (0.025 ≤ x ≤ 0.065) ceramics were of orthorhombic phase at room temperature. Piezoelectric activities and domain patterns were investigated and compared with those of BaTiO₃ ceramic. All the Ba(Zr_xTi_1?x)O₃ ceramics showed nearly the same d₃₃ values of about 265 pC/N and the same domain width of about 220 nm. By comparing the grain sizes and domain width of the Ba(Zr_xTi_1?x)O₃ ceramics with those of BaTiO₃ ceramic, it is speculated that the variation of domain width with grain sizes in orthorhombic Ba(Zr_xTi_1?x)O₃ ceramics may be different with that in tetragonal BaTiO₃ ceramic. Besides domain width, the effective inertia mass of domain wall is also considered to be a very important factor that impacts the piezoelectric activities of the Ba(Zr_xTi_1?x)O₃ ceramics.     

Buckling delamination of a sandwich plate-strip with piezoelectric face and elastic core layers

In this study, the buckling delamination problem of a sandwich plate-strip with a piezoelectric face and elastic core layers is studied. It is assumed that the plate-strip is simply supported and grounded along its two parallel ends and is subjected to uniformly-distributed compressive forces on these ends. Moreover, we suppose that the plate-strip has two interface inner cracks between the face and the core layers and it is also supposed that before the plate-strip is loaded (i.e. in the natural state), the surfaces of these cracks have insignificant initial imperfections. Due to compressive forces acting along the cracks we investigate the evolution of the initial imperfections of the cracks’ surfaces. Hence, the values of the critical buckling delamination force of the considered plate-strip are determined from the criteria, according to which, the considered initial imperfections of the cracks’ surfaces grow indefinitely by the compressive forces. Mathematical modeling of the considered problem is formulated within the scope of the exact nonlinear equations of electro-elasticity in the framework of the piecewise homogeneous body model, the solution of which is found numerically by employing the finite elements method. Numerical results showing the influences of the geometrical and material parameters as well as the coupling of the electrical and mechanical fields on the values of the critical force are presented and analyzed.     

二维铁电材料ABP2X6内在极高的负泊松比

Recently, ferroelectric materials have attracted considerable research attention. In particular, two dimensional (2D) ferroelectric materials have been considered as most crucial for next-generation circuit designs because of their application as novel electric memory devices. However, a 2D ferroelectric material is very rare. The ferroelectric materials with the form ABP₂X₆ (A = Ag, Cu; B = Bi, In; X = S, Se) are of interest because of their ferroelectric property maintained in their ultrathin structures. Within the ABP₂X₆ monolayer, the P―P bonds form the pillars that hold the top and bottom X planes, while the off-center A―B atoms between the X layers induce a spontaneous ferroelectric polarization. If the two off-center A―B sites are equally aligned, this would lead to the appearance of the paraelectric state. Such intriguing structures must impart novel mechanical properties to the materials. Until now, there has been no report on the mechanical properties of monolayer ABP₂X₆. Based on first-principles calculations, we studied the structural, electronic, mechanical as well as the electromechanical coupling properties of monolayer ABP₂X₆ (A = Ag, Cu; B = Bi, In; X = S, Se). We found that they are all semiconductors with wide bandgaps of 2.73, 2.17, 3.00, and 2.31 eV for CuInP₂Se₆, CuBiP₂Se₆, AgBiP₂S₆, and AgBiP₂Se₆, respectively, which are calculated based on the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) exchange correlation functional model. The conduction band minimum is mainly from p orbitals of X and B atoms, whereas the valence band maximum is due to the hybridization of the p orbital of X atoms and the d orbital of A atoms. Moreover, there are three short and three long A/B―X bonds due to the A―B off-center displacement. Together with the d-p orbital hybridization, the main reason for the distorted ferroelectric structure in ABP₂X₆ monolayers is the Jahn-Teller effect. ABP₂X₆ monolayers are predicted to be a new class of auxetic materials with an out-of-plane negative Poisson's ratio, i.e., the values of the negative Poisson's ratio are in the order AgBiP₂S₆ (−0.805) < AgBiP₂Se₆ (−0.778) < CuBiP₂Se₆ (−0.670) < CuInP₂S₆ (−0.060). This is mainly due to the tensile strain applied in the x/y direction enlarging the angle between P―P bonds and top layer X atoms, thereby enhancing the bucking height of monolayer ABP₂X₆. Moreover, external strain has a significant impact on the A―B off-center displacement, rendering an out-of-plane piezoelectric polarization. The values of e₁₃ for CuInP₂S₆, CuBiP₂Se₆, AgBiP₂S₆, AgBiP₂Se₆ monolayers are calculated to be −3.95 × 10⁻¹², −5.68 × 10⁻¹², −3.94 × 10⁻¹², −2.71 × 10⁻¹² C∙m⁻¹, respectively, which are comparable to the only experimentally confirmed 2D out-of-plane piezoelectric Janus system (piezoelectric coefficient = −3.8 × 10⁻¹² C∙m⁻¹). This unusual auxetic behavior, ferroelectric polarization, and the electromechanical coupling in monolayer ABP₂X₆ could potentially lead to enormous technologically important applications in nanoelectronics, nanomechanics, and piezoelectrics.     

In situ 2-D piezoelectric wafer active sensors arrays for guided wave damage detection

This paper presented development work of an in situ method for damage detection in thin-wall structures using embedded two-dimensional ultrasonic phased arrays. Piezoelectric wafer active sensors were used to generate and receive guided Lamb waves propagating in the plate-like structure. The development of a generic beamforming algorithm that does not require parallel ray assumption through using full wave propagation paths is described. A virtual beam steering method and device, the embedded ultrasonic structural radar, was implemented as a signal post-processing procedure. Several two-dimensional configurations were investigated and compared with beamforming simulation. Finally, rectangular shape arrays were developed for verifying the generic formulas and omnidirectionality. The rectangular arrays yield good directionality within the 360° full range and are able to detect damage anywhere in the entire plate.

Photodeposition of CoOx nanoparticles on BiFeO3 nanodisk for efficiently piezocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B by utilizing ultrasonic vibration energy

Piezoelectric materials have received much attention due to their great potential in environmental remediation by utilizing vibrational energy. In this paper, a novel piezoelectric catalyst, CoO_x nanoparticles anchored BiFeO₃ nanodisk composite, was intentionally synthesized via a photodeposition method and applied in piezocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under ultrasonic vibration. The as-synthesized CoO_x/BiFeO₃ composite presents high piezocatalytic efficiency and stability. The RhB degradation rate is determined to be 1.29 h⁻¹, which is 2.38 folds higher than that of pure BiFeO₃. Via optimizing the reaction conditions, the piezocatalytic degradation rate of the CoO_x/BiFeO₃ can be further increased to 3.20 h⁻¹. A thorough characterization was implemented to investigate the structure, piezoelectric property, and charge separation efficiency of the CoO_x/BiFeO₃ to reveal the nature behind the high piezocatalytic activity. It is found that the CoO_x nanoparticles are tightly adhered and uniformly dispersed on the surface of the BiFeO₃ nanodisks. Strong interaction between CoO_x and BiFeO₃ triggers the formation of a heterojunction structure, which further induces the migration of the piezoinduced holes on the BiFeO₃ to CoO_x nanoparticles. The recombination of electron-hole pairs is retarded, thereby increasing the piezocatalytic performance greatly. This work may offer a new paradigm for the design of high-efficiency piezoelectric catalysts.
