A piezoelectric ceramic fiber composite (PCFC) was successfully fabricated using $0.69Pb(Zr_{0.47}Ti_{0.53})O_3-0.31[Pb(Zn_{0.4}Ni_{0.6})_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}]O_3$ (PZT-PZNN) for use in small-scale wind energy harvesters. The PCFC was formed using an epoxy matrix material and an array of Ag/Pd-coated PZT-PZNN piezo-ceramic fibers sandwiched by Cu interdigitated electrode patterned polyethylene terephthalate film. The energy harvesting performance was evaluated in a custom-made wind tunnel while varying the wind speed and resistive load with two types of flutter wind energy harvesters. One had a five-PCFC array vertically clamped with a supporting acrylic rod while the other used the same structure but with a five-PCFC cantilever array. Stainless steel (thickness: $50{\mu}m$) was attached onto one side of the PCFC to form the PZT-PZNN cantilever. The output power, in general, increased with an increase in the wind speed from 2 m/s to 10 m/s for both energy harvesters. The highest output power of $15.1{\mu}W$ at $14k{\Omega}$ was obtained at a wind speed of 10 m/s for the flutter wind energy harvester with the PZT-PZNN cantilever array. The results presented here reveal the strong potential for wind energy harvester applications to supply sustainable power to various IoT micro-devices.

This study deals with damage detection in beam structure by using modal strain energy-based technique with three different sensor types: accelerometer, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezoelectric sensor and electrical strain gage. First, the use of direct piezoelectric effect of PZT sensor for dynamic strain response are presented. Next, a modal strain energy-based damage detection method is outlined. For validation, forced vibration tests are carried out on lab-scale aluminum cantilever beam. The dynamic responses are measured for several damage scenarios. Based on damage localization results, the performance of three different sensor types is evaluated.

This paper proposes a swing-arm type dual-stage actuator, which consists of a PZT actuator for fine motion and a VCM(Voice Coil Motor) for coarse motion, for SFF ODD(Small Form Factor Optical Disk Drive), in order to achieve fast access speed and precise track following control. We focus our attention on the design and control of the PZT actuator, because there have been a lot of previous researches related to the VCM and dual-stage actuators. Due to the dual cantilever structure, the PZT actuator can generate precise translational tracking motion at its tip where optical pickup is attached at, and the effect of hysteric behavior of the PZT element is reduced. The dynamic model of the PZT actuator is derived by using the Hamilton's principle, and verified by comparing with the experimental frequency response. The sliding mode control is designed in order to be robust against modeling uncertainties. Simulations and experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the suggested control scheme.

본 연구에서는 마이크로 내시경용 바이오 센서로 응용하기 위한 Al/PZT/RuO$_2$로 이루어진 마이크로 캔틸레버를 제작하였으며, 공진 특성 및 병원체의 흡착에 따른 공진 특성 그리고 검출 감도(sensitivity)에 미치는 구조적인 영향을 전산모사를 통하여 알아보았다. 길이 100$mu extrm{m}$, 폭 50$\mu\textrm{m}$, 두께 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$/0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$/0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$ (Al/PZT/RuO$_2$)의 크기의 제작된 마이크로 캔틸레버는 89kHz의 공진주파수를 가지고 있음을 전산모사를 통해 알 수 있었다. 바이오 센서로 응용될 때의 검출 감도는 흡착 질량의 증가에 비례하여 향상되었으며, 5% 이상의 검출 감도를 갖기 위해서는 흡착 질량이 약 5 나노그램 이상이 되어야 함을 확인할 수 있었다. 캔틸레버의 크기를 결정하는 길이, 폭, 두께중 사용 주파수 대역은 길이의 조절을 통하여 결정할 수 있고, 검출 감도의 향상을 위해서는 가능한 한 두께를 얇게 해야 함을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 폭의 변화는 공진주파수나 검출 감도에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다.

본 연구에서는 공진주파수 수식을 이용한 MATLAB과 Modal 해석법을 사용한 ANSYS로 공진주파수 특성을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 외팔보의 시뮬레이션 결과에서는 길이가 길어짐에 따라, 또는 proof mass의 크기가 커짐에따라 공진주파수 특성이 낮아지는 결과가 나타났다. 따라서 본 실험에서의 외팔보는 낮은 공진 주파수를 가지기 위해 Si proof mass를 사용하여 제작하였다. 외팔보 소자는 Silicon-on-insulator wafer를 사용하여 SiO2/Ti/Pt/PZT/Pt 박막을 증착하였고, 마스크를 사용한 식각 공정으로 제작하였다. 이때의 MATLAB, ANSYS 시뮬레이션 결과와 실험에서 제작된 소자는 유사한 공진주파수 특성을 나타내었다.

The piezoelectric energy harvesting characteristics of a trapezoidal cantilever generator with lead zirconate titanate (PZT) laminate were investigated with various Ag inner electrodes. The piezoelectric mode of operation was a transverse mode by using a planar electrode pattern. The piezoelectric cantilever generator was fabricated using trapezoidal cofired-PZT/Ag laminates by five specimens of 2, 3, 4, 7, and 13 layers of Ag. As the number of Ag electrodes increased, impedance and output voltage at resonant frequency significantly decreased, and capacitance and output current showed an increasing tendency. A maximum output power density of $7.60mW/cm^3$ was realized for the specimen with seven Ag layers in the optimal condition of acceleration (1.2 g) and resistive load ($600{\Omega}$), which corresponds to a normalized power factor of $5.28mW/g^2{\cdot}cm^3$.

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of a non-collocated pair of piezopolymer PVDF sensor and piezoceramic PZT actuator, which are bonded on a cantilever beam, in order to suppress unwanted vibration at the tip of the beam. The PZT actuator patch was bonded near the clamped part and the PVDF sensor, which was triangularly shaped, was bonded on the other part of the beam. This is because the triangular PVDF sensor is known that it can detect the tip velocity of a cantilever beam. Because the arrangement of the sensor and actuator pair is not collocated and overlapped each other, the pair can avoid so called 'the in-plane coupling'. The test beam is made of aluminum with the dimension of $200\times20\times2mm$, and the two PZT5H actuators are both $20\times20\times1mm$ and bonded on the beam out-of-phase, and the PVDF sensor is $178mm\times6mm\times52{\mu}m$. Before control, the sensor-actuator frequency response function is confirmed to have a nice phase response without accumulation in a reasonable frequency range of up to 5000 Hz. Both the DVFB and displacement feedback strategies made the error signal from the tip velocity (or displacement) sensor is transmitted to a power amplifier to operate the PZT actuator (secondary source). Both the control methods attenuate the magnitude of the first two resonances in the error spectrum of about 6-7 dB.

The purpose of this study is intended to improve the efficiency of energy harvesting through the optimal design of the PZT system and the electrical system. To improve the efficiency of energy harvesting, it is necessary to increase the output voltage generated from the PZT. In this study, first the mounting position and shape of the PZT which is attached to the cantilever were optimized. Second electric circuit was optimized by using a series connection of a circuit and the electrical resonance frequency. As a result, we improve the output voltage about 5V.
