In this study, in order to develop the composition ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics were fabricated using $Li_2CO_3$, $Na_2CO_3$, ZnO as sintering aids and their piezoelectric and dielectric properties were investigated according to the Bi substitution, Bi substitution induced grain growth and increase of sinterablity, And also, Bi substitution suppress secondary phase due to the liquid phase sintering effect. Bi substitution enhanced electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) and dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r$), However, mechanical quality factor($Q_m$) was deteriorated, At the sintering temperature of 870 $^{\circ}C$ and Bi substitution of 1 mol%, density, electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$), mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$), Dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r$) and piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) of specimen showed the optimum values of 7,878 $g/cm^3$, 0,608, 835, 1603 and 397 pC/N, respectively for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

The pollution problem of fossil energy sources has caused the development of green energy harvesting systems. Piezoelectric energy harvesting technology has been developed under those external environmental factors. A piezoelectric energy harvester can be defined as a device which transforms mechanical vibration or impact energy into electrical energy. Most researches have focused on bender structures. However, these have a limitation on energy efficiency because of the small effective electromechanical coupling factor, around 10%. Therefore, we should look for a new design for energy harvesting. A cymbal energy harvester can be a good candidate for the high-power energy harvester because it uses a high amplification mechanism using endcaps while keeping a higher electromechanical coupling factor. In this research, we focused on energy efficiency improvements of the cymbal energy harvester by changing the polarization direction, because the electromechanical coupling factor of the k33 mode and the k15 mode is larger than that of the k31 mode. Theoretically, we checked the cymbal harvester with radial polarization and it could obtain 6 times larger energy than that with the k31 direction polarization. Furthermore, we verified the theoretical expectation using the finite element method program. Consequently, we could expect a more efficient cymbal harvester with the radial polarization by comparing two polarization directions.

Piezoelectric properties of PZT-PSN ceramics were investigated as a function of WO$_3$ addition from 0 wt% to 6.0 wt%. The dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics of PZT-PSN ceramics have been investigated at different calcination (80$0^{\circ}C$~90$0^{\circ}C$) and sintering (110$0^{\circ}C$~130$0^{\circ}C$) temperatures. The grain size was increased with the addition of WO$_3$and the sintering temperatures. Anisotropic properties of electromechanical coupling coefficient and piezoelectric coefficient are proven to be dependent on processing temperatures and amount of addition. At the specimen with 0.6 wt% WO$_3$ addition, using calcination temperature of 80$0^{\circ}C$ and sintering temperature of 110$0^{\circ}C$ , mechanical quality factor(Q$_{m}$) and electromechanical coupling coefficient(k$_{p}$) showed the excellent results of 1560 and 0.48, respectively Experimental results indicated that the PZT-PSN system ceramics with WO$_3$impurity could be effectively used for the microtransformer and actuator applications, etc.etc.

Theoretical and numerical assessments of approximate evaluations and simplified analyses of piezoelectric structures transverse shear modal effective electromechanical coupling coefficient (EMCC) are presented. Therefore, the latter is first introduced theoretically and its approximate evaluations are reviewed; then, three-dimensional (3D) and simplified two-dimensional (2D) plane-strain (PStrain) and plane-stress (PStress) piezoelectric constitutive behaviors of electroded shear piezoceramic patches are derived and corresponding expected short-circuit (SC) and open-circuit (OC) frequencies and resulting EMCC are discussed; next, using a piezoceramic shear sandwich beam cantilever typical benchmark, a 3D finite element (FE) assessment of different evaluation techniques of the shear modal effective EMCC is conducted, including the equipotential (EP) constraints effect; finally, 2D PStrain and PStress FE modal analyses under SC and OC electric conditions, are conducted and corresponding results (SC/OC frequencies and resulting effective EMCC) are compared to 3D ones. It is found that: (i) physical EP constraints reduce drastically the shear modal effective EMCC; (ii) PStress and PStrain results depend strongly on the filling foam stiffness, rendering inadequate the use of popular equivalent single layer models for the transverse shear-mode sandwich configuration; (iii) in contrary to results of piezoelectric shunted damping and energy harvesting popular single-degree-of-freedom-based models, transverse shear modal effective EMCC values are very small in particular for the first mode which is the common target of these applications.

The electromechanical coupling factor(kp) was increased by increasing the amount of Sb$_2$O$_3$, CoO additive. The maximum value of electromechanical coupling factor(kp) was obtained 58.35 with Sb$_2$O$_3$1.2wt% additive at l15$0^{\circ}C$. Dopped with additive CoO 0.9wt%, electromechanical coupling factor(kp) was obtained 47.84 at 115$0^{\circ}C$.
