MLCCs are used broadly in electronic industry like smart phone and TV. Although they are fabricated in small size and have high capacitance, there are acoustic noise problems to reduce comfort of user. Acoustic noise results from linear piezoelectricity and nonlinear electrostriction of $BaTiO_3$ in MLCC and there are some researches on MLCC vibration under AC electric field. When only AC electric field without DC bias is applied to MLCC, fundamental frequency response is affected by piezoelectricity and second-harmonic frequency response shows electrostrictive vibration. In this study we get vibration shape of MLCC under AC electric field for each frequency and analysis on the mechanism of MLCC vibration affected by piezoelectricity and electrostriction.

We consider the problem of determining the singular stresses and electric fields in a functionally graded piezoelectric ceramic strip containing a Griffith eccentric crack under anti-plane shear loading with the theory of linear piezoelectricity. Fourier transforms are used to reduce the problem to the solution of two pairs of dual integral equations, which are then expressed to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Numerical values on the stress intensity factor and the energy release rate are obtained.

Using the theory of linear piezoelectricity, the dynamic response of a central crack in a functionally graded piezoelectric ceramic under anti-plane shear impact is analyzed. We assume that the properties of the functionally graded piezoelectric material vary continuously along the thickness. By using the Laplace and Fourier transform, the problem is reduced to two pairs of dual integral equations and then into Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. Numerical values on the dynamic stress intensity factors are presented to show the dependence of the gradient of material properties and electric loading.

So far, the design methods of quartz crystal resonator have been developed. Recently, as the electronic package and semiconductor modules become smaller, the need to minimize the sizes of crystal components grows larger. but Minimizing crystal plate sizes has limitations because its temperature-frequency characteristics is worse and unwanted resonances occur. so appropriate design of electrode size and crystal plates is necessary. In this palter, Two-dimensional governing equations for electroded piezoelectric crystal plates with general symmetry have been solved from deduced equations from three-dimensional equations of linear piezoelectricity in most cases. In practice, electroded piezoelectric crystal plates have three-dimensional geometry, so simplified 2-dimensional equations and 2-D modeling are insufficient for explaining its resonance modes and characteristics. So, three-dimensional FEM(finite element method) analysis is done and its effectiveness is verified from analyzing practical crystal resonator model.

A technique to control the operating frequency of microstrip antenna by using the X-cut quartz substrate has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. We consider 6, 8 and 10 GHz resonance frequency in three dimensional quartz plates. Equation of linear piezoelectricity are solved for the thickness-shear approximation of X-cut quartz plates. At X-band frequencies, the microstrip antenna was voltage-controllable using the dc electric field dependence of the piezoelectric constant of X-cut quartz. This work demonstrates advantageous application for X-cut quartz plate in microstrip antenna substrates.

Piezoelectric composite laminates are a powerful material system that offers vast options to improve structural behavior. Successful design of piezoelectric adaptive structures and testing of control laws call for highly accurate, reliable and numerically efficient numerical tools. This paper puts focus onto linear and geometrically nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of smart structures made of such a material system. For this purpose, highly efficient linear 3-node and 4-node finite shell elements are proposed. Both elements employ the Mindlin-Reissner kinematics. The shear locking effect is treated by the discrete shear gap (DSG) technique with the 3-node element and by the assumed natural strain (ANS) approach with the 4-node element. Geometrically nonlinear effects are considered using the co-rotational approach. Static and dynamic examples involving actuator and sensor function of piezoelectric layers are considered.

This paper develops a spectral element model for the composite beams with a surface-bonded piezoelectric layer from the governing equations of motion. The governing equations of motion are derived from Hamilton's principle by applying the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory for the bending vibration and the elementary rod theory for the longitudinal vibration of the composite beams. For the PZT layer, the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory and linear piezoelectricity theory are applied. The high accuracy of the present spectral element model is evaluated through the numerical examples by comparing with the finite element analysis results.

We consider the problem of determining the singular stresses and electric fields in a piezoelectric ceramic strip containing a Griffith crack under in-plane normal loading within the framework of linear piezoelectricity. The potential theory method and Fourier transforms are used to reduce the problem to the solution of dual integral equations, which are then expressed to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Numerical values on the field intensity factors are obtained, and the influences of the electric fields for PZT-6B piezoelectric ceramic are discussed.

This paper studies the energies and energy release rate (ERR) for the initially rotationally symmetric compressed (or stretched) in the inward (outward) radial direction of the PZT/Elastic/PZT sandwich circular plate with interface penny-shaped cracks. The investigations are made by utilizing the so-called three-dimensional linearized field equations and relations of electro-elasticity for piezoelectric materials. The quantities related to the initial stress state are determined within the scope of the classical linear theory of piezoelectricity. Mathematical formulation of the corresponding problem and determination of the quantities related to the stress-strain state which appear as a result of the action of the uniformly normal additional opening forces acting on the penny-shaped crack's edges are made within the scope of the aforementioned three-dimensional linearized field equations solution which is obtained with the use of the FEM modelling. Numerical results of the energies and ERR and the influence of the problem parameters on these quantities are presented and discussed for the PZT- 5H/Al/PZT-5H, PZT-4/Al/PZT-4, $BaTiO_3/Al/BaTiO_3$ and PZT-5H/StPZT-5H sandwich plates. In particular, it is established that the magnitude of the influence of the piezoelectricity and initial loading on the ERR increases with crack radius length.

This paper proposes a spectral element which can represent dynamic responses in high frequency domain such as Lamb waves on a thin plate. A two layer beam model under 2-D plane strain condition is introduced to simulate high-frequency dynamic responses induced by piezoelectric layer (PZT layer) bonded on a base plate. In the two layer beam model, a PZT layer is assumed to be rigidly bonded on a base beam. Mindlin-Herrmann and Timoshenko beam theories are employed to represent the first symmetric and anti-symmetric Lamb wave modes on a base plate, respectively. The Bernoulli beam theory and 1-D linear piezoelectricity are used to model the electro-mechanical behavior of a PZT layer. The equations of motions of a two layer beam model are derived through Hamilton's principle. The necessary boundary conditions associated with electro mechanical properties of a PZT layer are formulated in the context of dual functions of a PZT layer as an actuator and a sensor. General spectral shape functions of response field and the associated boundary conditions are formulated through equations of motions converted into frequency domain. A detailed spectrum element formulation for composing the dynamic stiffness matrix of a two layer beam model is presented as well. The validity of the proposed spectral element is demonstrated through comparison results with the conventional 2-D FEM and the previously developed spectral elements.
