Uniqueness theorem,theorem of reciprocity,and eigenvalue problems in linear theory of porous piezoelectricity

The uniqueness theorem and the theorem of reciprocity in the linearized porous piezoelectricity are established under the assumption of positive definiteness of elastic and electric fields. General theorems in the linear theory of porous piezoelectric materials are proved for the quasi-static electric field approximation. The uniqueness theorem is also proved without using the positive definiteness of the elastic field. An eigenvalue problem associated with free vibrations of a porous piezoelectric body is studied using the abstract formulation. Some properties of operators are also proved. The problem of frequency shift due to small disturbances, based on an abstract formulation, is studied using a variational and operator approach. A perturbation analysis of a special case is also given.     

Electric and elastic multipole defects in finite piezoelectric media

In this paper, a piezoelectric analogy theorem is proposed, in which a piezoelectric body is represented as being composed of two fictitious bodies, an elastic body and a rigid dielectric body. An electric and elastic multipole approach for the treatment of various defects (dislocation, inhomogeneity, …) in finite piezoelectric media is then developed. It is shown that the electric and elastic coupling effects, the boundary effects, and the defects may be considered uniformly as sources of permanent and induced electric and elastic multipoles.     

Exact solution for mixed boundary value problems at anisotropic piezoelectric bimaterial interface and unification of various interface defects

The special mixed boundary value problem in which a debonded conducting rigid line inclusion is embedded at the interface of two piezoelectric half planes is solved analytically by employing the 8-D Stroh formalism. Different from existing interface insulating crack model and interface conducting rigid line inclusion model, the presently analyzed model is based on the assumption that all of the physical quantities, i.e., tractions, displacements, normal component of electric displacements and electric potential, are discontinuous across the interface defect. Explicit solutions for stress singularities at the tips of debonded conducting rigid line inclusion are obtained. Closed form solutions for the distribution of tractions on the interface, surface opening displacements and jump in electric potential on the debonded inclusion are also obtained, in addition real form solutions for these physical quantities are derived. Various forms of interface defect problems encountered in practice are solved within a unified framework and the stress singularities induced by those interface defects are discussed in detail. Particularly, we find that the analysis of interface cracks between the embedded electrode layer and piezoelectric ceramics can also be carried out within the unified framework.     

Piezothermoelastic analysis of a piezoelectric material with an elliptic cavity under uniform heat flow

Summary The problem of a two-dimensional piezoelectric material with an elliptic cavity under a uniform heat flow is discussed, based on the modified Stroh formalism for the piezothermoelastic problem. The exact electric boundary conditions at the rim of the hole are introduced in the analysis. Expressions for the elastic and electric variables induced within and outside the cavity are derived in closed form. Hoop stress around the hole and electric fields in the hole are obtained. The limit situation when the hole is reduced to a slit crack is discussed, and the intensity factors for the problem are obtained. Received 14 April 1998; accepted for publication 25 June 1998

On the boundary conditions for transversely isotropic piezoelectric plates

By invoking the theorem of work reciprocity for piezoelectric media, necessary conditions, which the prescribed edge data of the plate must fulfill in order that it should generate a decaying state within the plate, are established through generalizing the method proposed by Gregory and Wan. These decaying state conditions for the case of axisymmetric deformation of a transversely isotropic piezoelectric circular plate when stress and electric displacement conditions are imposed on the plate edge are derived explicitly, which are then used for the formulation of boundary conditions for the plate theory solution (or the interior solution). Also an analytical solution of the axisymmetric decaying state of transversely isotropic piezoelectric circular plates is derived. Furthermore, the corresponding necessary conditions for the axisymmetric deformation of elastic circular plates are indeed reproduced directly.     

Discriminating linear from nonlinear elastic damage using a nonlinear time reversal DORT method

The DORT method is a selective detection and focusing technique originally developed to detect defects and damages which induce linear changes of the elastic moduli. It is based on the time reversal (TR) where a signal collected from an array of transducers is time reversed and then back-propagated into the medium to obtain focusing on selected targets. TR is based on the principle of spatial reciprocity. Attenuation, dispersion, multiple scattering, mode conversion, etc. do not break spatial reciprocity. The presence of defects or damage, may cause materials to show nonlinear elastic wave propagation behavior that will break spacial reciprocity. Therefore the DORT method will not allow focusing on nonlinear elastic scatterers. This paper presents a new method for the detection and identification of multiple linear and nonlinear scatterers by combining nonlinear elastic wave spectroscopy, time reversal and DORT method. In the presence of nonlinear hysteretic elastic scatterers, forcing the solid with a harmonic excitation, the time reversal operator can be obtained not only at the fundamental frequency of excitation, but also at the odd harmonics. At the fundamental harmonic, either inhomogeneities and linear damages can be individually selected but only at odd harmonics nonlinear hysteretic elastic damages exist. A procedure was developed where by decomposing the operator at the odd harmonics, it was possible to focus on nonlinear scatterers and to differentiate them from the linear inhomogeneities. A complete mathematical nonlinear DORT formulation for 1 and 2D structures is presented. To model the presence of nonlinear elastic hysteretic scatterers a Preisach–Mayergoyz (PM) material constitutive model was used. Results relative to 1 and 2 dimensional structures are reported showing the capability of the method to focus and discern selectively linear and nonlinear scatterers. Furthermore, an analysis was conducted to study the influence of the number of sources and their location on the imaging process showing that using a higher numbers of sensors does not automatically bring to a minor uncoupled behaviour between the nonlinear targets.     

Analysis of a crack in a half-plane piezoelectric solid with traction-induction free boundary

In this paper, the problem of a crack embedded in a half-plane piezoelectric solid with traction-induction free boundary is analyzed. A system of singular integral equations is formulated for the materials with general anisotropic piezoelectric properties and for the crack with arbitrary orientation. The kernel functions developed are in complex form for general anisotropic piezoelectric materials and are then specialized to the case of transversely isotropic piezoelectric materials which are in real form. The obtained coupled mechanical and electric real kernel functions may be reduced to those kernel functions for purely elastic problems when the electric effects disappear. The system of singular integral equations is solved numerically and the coupling effects of the mechanical and electric phenomena are presented by the generalized stress intensity factors for transversely isotropic piezoelectric materials.     

Identification of an ellipsoidal defect in an elastic solid using boundary measurements

Elastostatic problem of identification of an ellipsoidal cavity or inclusion (rigid or linear elastic) in an isotropic, linear elastic solid is considered. The reciprocity gap functional method is used for solving the problem. It is shown that the parameters of the ellipsoidal defect (coordinates of its center, the directions and magnitudes of the semiaxes and elastic moduli in the case of isotropic, linear elastic inclusion), located in an infinite elastic solid are expressed by means of the values of the reciprocity gap functional. The values of the reciprocity gap functional can be calculated if the loads and displacements corresponding to uniaxial tension (compression) of an infinite solid are known on the closed surface containing the defect inside. Applications of the results to the problem of ellipsoidal defect identification in a bounded body are discussed. A number of numerical examples showing the efficiency of the developed identification method are considered.     

Multimode vibration control using several piezoelectric transducers shunted with a multiterminal network

In this paper a new approach is presented to reduce vibrations for one- and two-dimensional mechanical structures, as beam or thin plates, by means of several piezoelectric transducers shunted with a proper electric network system. The governing equations of the whole system are coupled to each other through the direct and converse piezoelectric effect. More in detail, the mechanical equations are expressed in accordance with the modal theory considering n vibration modes and the electrical equations reduce to the one-dimensional charge equation of electrostatics for each of n considered piezoelectric transducers. In this electromechanical system, a shunting electric device forms an electric subsystem working as multi degrees of freedom (dof’s) damped vibration absorber for the mechanical subsystem. Herein, it is introduced a proper transformation of the electric coordinates in order to approximate the governing equations for the whole shunted system with n uncoupled, single mode piezoelectric shunting systems that can be readily damped by the methods reported in literature. A further numerical optimisation problem on the spatial distribution of the piezoelectric elements allows to achieve a better performance. Numerical case studies of two relevant systems, a double clamped beam and a fully clamped plate, allow to take into account issues relative to the proposed approach. Laboratory experiments carried out in real time on a beam clamped at both ends consent to validate the proposed technique.

Nonstationary axisymmetric electroelasticity problem for an anisotropic piezoceramic radially polarized cylinder

We consider an axisymmetric nonstationary electroelasticity problem for an anisotropic piezoceramic radially polarized cylinder of finite size whose lateral surface is subjected to an electric voltage that is an arbitrary function of the axial coordinate and time. A new closed-form solution is constructed by the vector eigenfunction expansion method in the form of a structural finite transform algorithm. This solution permits determining the natural vibration frequencies, the stress-strain state of an element, and the electric field potential and intensity. The results permit analyzing and optimizing the operation of inverse piezoelectric effect devices with cylindrical transducers.     

Eshelby problem of polygonal inclusions in anisotropic piezoelectric full- and half-planes

This paper presents an exact closed-form solution for the Eshelby problem of polygonal inclusion in anisotropic piezoelectric full- and half-planes. Based on the equivalent body-force concept of eigenstrain, the induced elastic and piezoelectric fields are first expressed in terms of line integral on the boundary of the inclusion with the integrand being the Green's function. Using the recently derived exact closed-form line-source Green's function, the line integral is then carried out analytically, with the final expression involving only elementary functions. The exact closed-form solution is applied to a square-shaped quantum wire within semiconductor GaAs full- and half-planes, with results clearly showing the importance of material orientation and piezoelectric coupling. While the elastic and piezoelectric fields within the square-shaped quantum wire could serve as benchmarks to other numerical methods, the exact closed-form solution should be useful to the analysis of nanoscale quantum-wire structures where large strain and electric fields could be induced by the misfit strain.     

A theoretical model for electroelastic analysis in piezoelectric fibre push-out test

A theoretical model is presented to study the elastic deformation process and frictional sliding behavior in single piezoelectric fibre push-out tests. Based on the theoretical model and some necessary simplifications, stress and electric fields are obtained for push-out tests of a circular piezoelectric fibre embedded in an elastic matrix. Numerical results of a piezoelectric fibre/expoxy matrix system are presented to verify the proposed formulation. The study shows that there is a significant effect of the piezoelectric parameter and embedded fibre length on stress transfer, electric field distribution and load-displacement curve of the frictional sliding process. This study also indicates that the piezoelectric effect has a distinct influence on the mechanical behavior and properties of the interface in a fibre/matrix system.     

Isolated crack in three-dimensional piezoelectric solid. Part II: Stress intensity factors for circular crack

This is part II of the work concerned with finding the stress intensity factors for a circular crack in a solid with piezoelectric behavior. The method of solution involves reducing the problem to a system of hypersingular integral equations by application of the unit concentrated displacement discontinuity and the unit concentrated electric potential discontinuity derived in part I [1]. The near crack border elastic displacement, electric potential, stress and electric displacement are obtained. Stress and electric displacement intensity factors can be expressed in terms of the displacement and the potential discontinuity on the crack surface. Analogy is established between the boundary integral equations for arbitrary shaped cracks in a piezoelectric and elastic medium such that once the stress intensity factors in the piezoelectric medium can be determined directly from that of the elastic medium. Results for the penny-shaped crack are obtained as an example.

Reduction of applied electric potential controlling thermoelastic displacement in a piezoelectric actuator

Summary The present paper discusses how to reduce the applied electric potential which controls a distribution of the elastic displacement, when temperature change induces elastic deformation in a piezoelectric-based solid state actuator. The actuator consists of an isotropic structural plate, onto which multiple piezoelectric ceramic plates of crystal class 6mm are perfectly bonded. The analysis of this thermoelastic problem leads to electric potential applied to piezoelectric ceramic plates. Numerical calculations are carried out for an isotropic steel plate, onto which multiple cadmium-selenide plates are perfectly bonded. Finally, it is shown that the maximum applied electric potential in the case of ten cadmium selenide plates can be reduced to 11% of that derived from the previous study of a similar problem of one cadmium selenide plate bonded onto an isotropic steel plate.
