The piezoelectric properties of some perovskite ferroelectric materials have been investigated. The Curie temperature of $Nb^{+5}$ deped $BaTiO_3$ is lowered, and that of $La^{+3}$ doped BaTiO3 varies depending on whether the ionic neautrality of the ceramics is satisfied. The optimum sintered density of BaTiO3 system is obtained when the specimen is sintered for about an hour at 1300-140$0^{\circ}C$ (the optimal sintering temperature of PZT is also about 130$0^{\circ}C$). The electromechanical coupling factor of PZT is reported to be larger than that of $BaTiO_3$ system.

In this study, a finite element(FE) analysis on electro-mechanical impedance response of cable-anchor connection interface under various anchor force is presented. In order to achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. Firstly, an interface washer coupled with piezoelectric(PZT) material is designed for monitoring cable-force loss. The interface washer is a small aluminum plate on which a PZT patch is surface-bonded. Cable-force loss could be monitored by installing the interface washer between the anchor plate and the anchorage of cable-anchor connection and examining the changes of impedance of the interface washer. Secondly, a FE model for cable-anchor connection is established to examine the effect of cable-force on impedance response of interface washer. Also, the effects of geometrical and material properties of the interface washer on impedance responses under various cable-forces are investigated. Finally, validation of the FE analysis is experimentally evaluated by a lab-scale cable-anchor connection.

This paper presents an active vibration control of a flexible beam structure using a hybrid mount which consists of elastic rubber and Piezoelectric material. After identifying stiffness and damping properties of the rubber and piezoelectric elements, a mechanical model of the hybrid mount is established. The mount model is then Incorporated into the beam structure, and the governing equation of motion is obtained in a state space. A sliding mode controller is designed in order to actively attenuate the vibration of the beam structure subjected to high frequency and small magnitude excitations. The controller is experimentally realized and control responses such as acceleration of the beam structure and force transmission through the hybrid mount are evaluated. In addition. a comparative work is done between the passive and hybrid mount systems.

Dielectric and piezoelectric porperties of pseudoternary xPb(Al2/3W1/3)O3-(1-x)Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (x=1~10mol%) ceramic system have been investigated as a function of the amount of PAW[Pb(Al2/3W1/3)O3] and sintered from 110$0^{\circ}C$ to 120$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. As the amount of PAW increases, the c/a of tetragonal structure decreases. The grain size was reduced with increasing the amount of PAW addition. However, the density, dielectric constant and electromechanical coupling factor(kp) exhibited a maximum value at the amount of 5mol% PAW addition.

In this study, to develop the composition ceramics for the Ultrasonic vibrator, $Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3Pb(Zr.Ti)O_3$ system ceramics were manufactured as a function of PCN substitution. Its dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics were investigated. With increasing the amount of PCN substitution, electromechanical coupling factor(kp) were increased until 3mol% PCN and that after decreased. mechanical quality factor(Qm) showed the maxinum value at 2mol% PCN. Eletromechanical coupling factor, mechanical quality factor and dielectric constant were showed optimum value at PCN 2mol% as 0.58, 1630 and 1407, respectively for ultrasonic vibrator applications.

Low-velocity impact damage is a major concern in the design of structures made of composite materials, because impact damage is hidden inside and cannot be detected by visual inspection. The piezoelectric thin film sensor can be used to detect variations in structural and material properties for structural health monitoring. In this paper, the PVDF and PZT sensors were used for monitoring impact damage initiation in Gr/Ep composite panel to illustrate this potential benefit. A series of impact test at various impact energy by changing impact mass and height is performed on the instrumented drop weight impact tester. The wavelet transform(WT) is used to decompose the piezoelectric sensor signals in this study. Test results show that the particular waveform of sensor signals implying the damage initiation and development are detected above the damage initiation impact energy. And it is found that both PZT and PVDF sensors can be used to detect the impact damage.

The ultra-precision stage is demanded for some industrial fields such as semiconductor lithography, ultra-precision machining, and fabrication of nano structure. A new stage was developed for those applications in order to obtain nano meter resolution. This stage consists of symmetric double parallelogram mechanism using flexure hinges. The mechanical properties such as strength of the flexures and deformations along the applied force were analyzed using FEM. The stage is actuated by a piezoelectric actuator and its movement was measured by a ultra-precision linear encoder. In order to improve positioning performance, a PID controller was designed based on the identified second order transfer function. Experimental results showed that this stage could be positioned within below 5 nm resolution irrespective of hysteresis and creep by the controller.

This work investigated the electromechanical performance of a cantilevered vibration energy harvester incorporating the single crystal PMN-PZT, manufactured with the most recent technology of solid-state single crystal growth. Single crystal PMN-PZTs with two different crystallographic axes such as [011] and [001] were considered. For the [011] orientation, because material properties such as the stiffness, piezoelectric strain coefficients are not the same in the directions normal to the crystallographic axis, the effects of the transversely anisotropy on the magnitude and frequency bandwidth of output power were also analyzed.

PMN-PT계 완화형 강유전체에서 MnO$_2$첨가가 압전물성에 미치는 영향을 -40~10$0^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 각각의 시편들은 -4$0^{\circ}C$에서 1.0kV/mm의 전계를 10분간 가하여 분극처리를 한 후 승온하면서 공진 반공진법에 의해 압전물성을 측정하였다. 0.9MN-0.1PT계의 경우 MnO$_2$를 첨가하였을 때 $K_{p}$ 는 거의 유지되면서도 Q$_{m}$ 값이 큰 폭으로 상승하였는데, 0.5wt% MnO$_2$첨가의 경우 -4$0^{\circ}C$에서 95로부터 480으로 증가하였다. 일반 강유전체인 PZT계에 대한 MnO$_2$의 첨가효과와 비교할 때 PMN계 완화형 강유전체에서도 동일한 경향성을 보임을 확인하였다.
