Flexural Vibrations and Heating of a Circular Bimorph Piezoplate under Electric Excitation Applied to Nonuniformly Electroded Surfaces

The flexural vibrations and dissipative heating of a circular bimorph piezoceramic plate are studied. The plate is excited by a harmonic electric field applied to nonuniformly electroded surfaces. The viscoelastic behavior of piezoceramics is described in terms of temperature-dependent complex moduli. The nonlinear coupled problem of thermoviscoelasticity is solved by step-by-step integration in time, using the discrete-orthogonalization method to solve the mechanics equations and the finite-differences method to solve the heat-conduction equations. A numerical analysis is conducted for TsTStBS-2 piezoceramics to study the influence of the nonuniform electroding on the resonant frequency, amplitude, and modes of flexural vibrations and the amplitude- and temperature-frequency characteristics of the plate __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 9, pp. 94–100, September 2005.     

Resonant flexural vibrations and dissipative heating of a piezoceramic ring plate with nonuniformly electroded surfaces

The forced flexural vibrations and dissipative heating of a bimorph ring plate are studied. The plate is made of viscoelastic piezoceramics and is polarized across the thickness. The outer surfaces of the plate are nonuniformly electroded, and harmonic electric excitation is applied to the electrodes. The viscoelastic behavior of the material is described using the concept of temperature-dependent complex moduli. The coupled nonlinear problem of thermoviscoelasticity is solved by time iteration using, at each iteration, the discrete-orthogonalization method to integrate the mechanics equations and the explicit finite-difference method to solve the heat-conduction equation with a nonlinear heat source. Numerical calculations demonstrate that by changing the size of the ring electrode we can influence the natural frequency, stress and displacement distributions, dissipative-heating temperature, and amplitude-and temperature-frequency characteristics. With certain boundary conditions, there is an optimal electrode configuration that produces deflections of maximum amplitudes when an electric excitation is applied __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 3, pp. 102–109, March 2006.

The influence of thickness, radius of curvature, load velocity, and viscoelastic properties on the thermal state of the panel is analysed against the thermal state of the plate__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 4, pp. 100–109, April 2005.     

Single-frequency vibrations and vibrational heating of a piezoelectric circular sandwich plate under monoharmonic electromechanical loading

The forced monoharmonic bending vibrations and dissipative heating of a piezoelectric circular sandwich plate under monoharmonic mechanical and electrical loading are studied. The core layer is passive and viscoelastic. The face layers (actuators) are piezoelectric and oppositely polarized over the thickness. The plate is subjected to harmonic pressure and electrical potential. The viscoelastic behavior of the materials is described by complex moduli dependent on the temperature of heating. The coupled nonlinear problem is solved numerically. A numerical analysis demonstrates that the natural frequency, amplitude of vibrations, mechanical stresses, and temperature of dissipative heating can be controlled by changing the area and thickness of the actuator. It is shown that the temperature dependence of the complex moduli do not affect the electric potential applied to the actuator to compensate for the mechanical stress __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 1, pp. 79–89, January 2008.     

Modelling the Stationary Vibrations and Dissipative Heating of Thin-Walled Inelastic Elements with Piezoactive Layers

A coupled dynamic problem of thermoelectromechanics for thin-walled multilayer elements is formulated based on a geometrically nonlinear theory and the Kirchhoff–Love hypotheses. In the case of harmonic loading, an approximate formulation is given using the concept of complex moduli to characterize the cyclic properties of the material. The model problem on forced vibrations of sandwich beam, whose core layer is made of a passive physically nonlinear material, and face layers, of a viscoelastic piezoactive material, is considered as an example to demonstrate the possibility of damping the vibrations by applying harmonic voltage to the oppositely polarized layers of the beam. Substantiation is given for a linear control law with a complex coefficient for the electric potential, which provides damping of vibrations in the first symmetric mode at the linear and nonlinear stages of deformation. The stress–strain state and dissipative-heating temperature are studied
