Abstract

Fracture behavior of a monolithic PZT and a plate-type piezoelectric composite actuator (PCA) has been investigated under a bending load at three points by an acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. AE signal from a monolithic PZT at the maximum bending load shows the characteristics of high amplitude and long duration with a low frequency band of $100{\sim}230kHz$ which is confirmed by fast Fourier transform (FFT). For a PCA, it is concluded that AE signals with high amplitude over 80dB and low dominant frequency band of $170{\sim}223kHz$ emitted in the stage I are due to the brittle fracture in the PZT layer and the delamination between the PZT layer and the adjacent fiber composite layer. Based on the above analysis of AE behavior and damage observations with an optical microscopy and a scanning electron microscopy, AE characteristics related to fracture behavior of asymmetrically laminated PCA have been elucidated.

3점 굽힘 하중을 받는 단일 PET 및 평판형 압전 복합재료 작동기(PCA)의 파괴거동을 음향방출(AE) 법을 이용하여 살펴보았다. 단일 PET의 경우 최대 굽힘하중에서 발생한 AE신호는 고진폭 및 긴 유지시간을 갖는 특징을 보였으며 FFT에 의한 지배 주파수 대역을 확인한 결과 $100{\sim}230kHz$의 비교적 저주파수 대역이었다. PCA의 경우, stage 1에서 발생한 80dB이상의 고진폭 및 $170{\sim}223kHz$의 저 지배 주파수 대역을 갖는 신호는 PZT층에서의 취성파괴 및 PZT층과 인근 섬유층 사이의 층간분리에 의한 것으로 추정되었다. 상기의 AE거동 해석결과와 광학현미경 및 주사전자현미경에 의한 손상관찰에 근거하여 비대칭으로 적층된 PCA의 파괴거동과 관련한 AE특성을 규명하였다.
