In this study, the method of the finite element modeling for free vibration control of beam-type smart structures with bonded plate-type piezoelectric sensors and actuators is proposed. Constitutive equations for the direct piezoelectric effect and converse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials are considered. By using the variational principle, the equations of motion for the smart beam finite element are derived, The proposed 2-node beam finite element is an isoparametric element based on Timoshenko beam theory. Therefore, by analyzing beam-type smart structures with smart beam finite elements, it is possible to simulate the control of the structural behavior by applying voltages to piezoelectric actuators and monitoring of the structural behavior by sensing voltages of piezoelectric sensors. By using the smart beam finite element and constant-gain feed back control scheme, the formulation of the free vibration control for the beam structures with bonded plate-type piezoelectric sensors and actuators is proposed.

In this paper, a hexagon-type piezoelectric transformer was investigated to increase the output power. The length of its side was 14mm and 17.5mm, respectively. The piezoelectric ceramics was composed to PZT-PMN-PSN. This composition showed the characteristics which had an about 1500 of the mechanical Q-factor, 0.55 of the electromechanical coupling coefficient, $320{\times}10^{-12}C/N$ of the piezoelectric constant $d_{31}$, 0.3 % of the dissipation factor, etc. The voltage step-up ratio increased with increasing the load resistance, $R_{L}$, so it reached 80 with $R_{L}$ of $1M{\Omega}$ and was proportion to the length of side of the hexagon-type piezoelectric transformer. Also, the output power increased with increasing the size of the hexagon-type piezoelectric transformer.

Due to the requirements for high reliability and accuracy, safety issues for airbag ignition systems need to be studied. In this paper, a high-voltage piezoelectric converter is designed to improve these requirements in airbag ignition systems. The proposed converter includes an inverter drive circuit, a Rosen piezoelectric transformer (PZT), an output circuit and a feedback control circuit. The key components of the high-voltage piezoelectric transformer are analyzed in detail. In addition, the proposed converter system is simulated and implemented for testing. The experimental results show that when the power supply is turned on, the charging time is less than 800ms. Furthermore, the output voltage of this converter can be kept between 2.9kV and 3.1kV, under high-efficiency constant current charging mode and zero-voltage switching conditions.

We reported on characteristics of the piezoelectric ceramic-polymer composite for the application of the thick-film speaker. The PVDF-PZT composites were fabricated to incorporate the advantages of both ceramic and polymer with various mixing ratios by 3-roll mill mixer. The composite solutions were coated by the conventional screen-printing method on ITO electrode coated PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) polymer film. After depositing the top-electrode of silver-paste, 4 kV/mm of DC field was applied at $120^{\circ}C$ for 30 min to poling the composite films. The value of $d_{33}$ (piezoelectric charge constant) was increased when the PZT weight percent was increased. The maximum value of the $d_{33}$ was 24 pC/N at 70 wt% PZT. But the $g{33}$ (piezoelectric voltage constant) showed the maximum value of $32mV{\cdot}m/N$ at 65 wt% of PZT powder. The SPL (sound pressure level) of the speaker fabricated with the 65:35 composite film was about 68 dB at 1 kHz.

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics 0.97$(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$-0.03Ba$(Ti_{1-x}Sn_x)O_3$ [NKN-BTS-x] ceramics doped with 1 mol% $MnO_2$ have been fabricated by a sintering technique with muffling. The $MnO_2$-doped NKN-BTS-x ceramics with x$\leq$0.2 have pure orthorhombic perovskite structure at room temperature. The dense microstructure was developed with grain growth as an increase of amount of Sn. Moreover, the addition of Sn was found to have a significant influence on piezoelectric properties. In particular, the $MnO_2$-doped NKN-BTS-0.1 ceramics showed improved piezoelectric properties of piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$=145pC/N), relatively large electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$=43%), dielectic constant (${\varepsilon}^T_{33}/{\varepsilon}_0$=676) dielectric loss (tan$\delta$=1.3%).

In this study, in order to develop multilayer piezoelectric transformer, PMN-PZT ceramics were fabricated according to PFW substitution using $Li_2CO_3-CaCO_3$ as sintering aids and their dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics were investigated. As increasing the amount of PFW substitution, density was slightly increased due to the increased sinterability. At the 1[mol%] PFW substituted PMN-PZT ceramic sintered at 950[$^{\circ}C$], density, dielectric constant $\varepsilon_r$, electromechanical coupling factor kp, mechanical quality factor Qm and piezoelectric $d_{33}$ constant showed the optimum value of 7.761[$g/cm^3$], 1251, 0.479, 1425 and 282[pC/N], respectively.

ZnO was doped up to 0.3 wt% for improving the electrical properties of lead-free $[Li_{0.04}(Na_{0.44}Ko_{0.52})-(Nb_{0.86}\;Ta_{0.10}\;Sb_{0.04})]O_3$ piezoelectric ceramics. The ceramics were fabricated with the conventional sintering processes. Crystal structure of the samples was tetragonal phase regardless of ZnO amount. However, the piezoelectric properties were varied with the ZnO amount. The electro-mechanical coupling factor $(k_p)$ was with the ZnO amount up to 0.2 wt% but decreased with the further addition. the maximum value of $k_p$ was 0.475. Density, piezoelectric charge constant and relative dielectric constant was also showed maximum value at 0.2 wt%. The maximum values are $4.75g/cm^3$, 275 pC/N, 1403, respectively. In contrast, the mechanical quality factor $(Q_m)$ was not varied with increasing the ZnO addition up to 0.2 wt% but rapidly increased at 0.3 wt%.

Lead-free (1-x)$(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$-xBa($Ti_{0.9}Sn_{0.1})O_3$ [NKN-BTS-100x] ceramics doped with 1 mol% $MnO_2$ have been prepared by the conventional solid state method and their structural and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The NKN-BTS-100x ceramics exhibited a dense and homogeneous microstructure when they were sintered at $1030-1150^{\circ}C$. Grain growth was observed for the specimen sintered at relatively low temperature of $1050^{\circ}C$. A tetragonal/orthorhombic morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in the perovskite structure was also appeared for the NKN-BTS-100x ceramics (0.04$1050^{\circ}C$. The enhanced piezoelectric properties in the NKN-BTS ceramics with a MPB composition were obtained. Especially, for the NKN-BTS-6 ceramics, a high dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}^T_3/\varepsilon_0=1,400$), piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}=237$) and electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p=0.42$) were obtained.

In this study, in order to develop the composition ceramics for ultrasonic sensor with high $d_{33}*g_{33}$, $Pb_{1-3x/2}Bix(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})_{0.03}(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.09}(Zr_{0.5}Ti_{0.5})_{0.88}O_3$(PMW-PNN-PZT) system ceramics were prepared using CuO as sintering aids. And then, their microstructure, piezoelectric and dielectric characteristics were systemetically investigated with bismuth substitution. The PMW-PNN-PZT ceramic specimens could be sintered at sintering temperature of $940^{\circ}C$ by adding sintering aids. At x=0.015 specimen, the density, electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$), dielectric constant, piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$) and piezoelectric figure of merit($d_{33}*g_{33}$) indicated the optimal properties of $7.90g/cm^3$, 0.67, 2,511, 628 pC/N, and $17.7pm^2/N$, respectively, for duplex ultrasonic sensor application.
