In order to develop the composition ceramics capable of being sintered at low temperature with high piezoelectric properties for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application, PZW-PMN-PZT system ceramics were manufactured according to sintering aid $Li_2CO_3$ addition and their microstructural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The crystal structure of the specimens showed a perovskite phase and no pyrochlore or other second phase was detected. At the sintering temperature of $900\;^{\circ}C,\;0.2\;wt%Li_2CO_3$ added specimen showed a optimum values of kp = 0.562, $d_{33}\;=\;360\;pC/N$ and Qm = 1184, respectively.

Low temperature ($\leq900^{\circ}C$) sintering piezoelectric ceramics $0.01Pb(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})O_3$-0.41Pb$(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.35PbTiO_3-0.23PbZrO_3+0.1wt%Y_2O_3+xwt%ZnO$ $(0{\leq}x{\leq}2.5)$ have been developed and investigated. The electromechanical coupling coefficient ($k_p$), piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$), and mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) have been measured to characterize the piezoelectric materials system. When 2.0 wt% ZnO is added, the properties of the system, $d_{33}$ = 559 pC/N, $k_p$ = 55.0 % and $Q_m$ = 73.4 are obtained which are very suitable for piezoelectric actuators. A bending mode multilayer actuator has been also developed using the materials which size is $27(L)\times9(W)\times1.07(t)mm^3$. The actuators are fabricated by multilayer ceramic (MLC) process and consist of24 layers and each layer thickness is $35{\mu}m$. At this time, the displacement of actuator was $100{\mu}m$ at 28V.

Non-linear behaviors of multilayer piezoelectric ceramic actuator (MCA) were investigated under electrical and mechanical stress. DC 100 V bias was applied to the MCA to obtain displacement. Laser vibrometer, which using Doppler effect, was employed to characterize displacement caused by $d_{33}$ mode of MCA. To understand this non-linear behavior of MCA, displacement was measured and compared under different load states. By increasing load, electric field-induced strain and piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$) of MCA was decreased. We attribute this phenomenon to the domain wall motion and depoling of MCA under heavy load.

In this study, in order to develop the multilayer piezoelectric actuator and ultrasonic resonator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics were fabricated by sintering with $Li_2CO_3-Na_2CO_3$ as sintering aids at $950^{\circ}C$ and their piezoelectric and dielectric characteristics were investigated as a function of PNN substitution. With increasing PNN substitution, dielectric constant(${\epsilon}_r$), electromechanical coupling factor(kp), and piezoelectric d constant($d_{33}$) were increased to $12 mol\%$ PNN substitution and then showed a tendency to decrease rapidly With increasing PNN substitution, crystal structure changed from tetragonal to rhombohedral at $12 mol\%$ PNN substitution and then secondary phase was appeared and its intensity was increased. At the $12 mol\%$ PNN substituted PMN-PZT composition ceramic sintered at $950^{\circ}C$, density, kp, $d_{33}$ and Qm showed the optimum value of $7.79 g/cm^3$, 0.599, 419 pC/N, and 894, respectively for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

A Bender typed Multilayer Actuator(BMA) for decreasing the depolarization effect was designed and fabricated. Unlike bimorph and multimorph actuators in which depolarization occurred, the BMA did not generate depolarization because the polarization and the electric field directions are the same. The simulated results indicate that higher displacement of the BMA can be achieved by increasing input voltage. Compared with the multimorph actuator, the proposed actuator is expected to extend a life time as well as acceptable voltage range.
