We know that the piezoelectric constant d, the dielectric constant, and the electric-mechanical coupling coefficient affect the output for piezoelectric ceramics used in ultrasonic welders. Therefore, in this study, the characteristics of ceramics according to the changes of additives to the components of PZT-PMN-PZW were examined. When the addition amount of $MnO_2$ was 2 wt%, the most excellent properties were shown, which suggested the applicability as a material for fusion welding.

A new method for the poling of piezoelectric ceramics with an air insulation medium in stead of silicon oil is described. A similar variation of electromechanical coupling coefficient $K_t$, for an air medium is observed in comparison to that of the material poled by the conventional poling method using a silicon oil medium. Different poling parameters such as dielectric constant $\varepsilon^T$ and frequency deviation ${\Delta}f$ are studied as well as the influence on the aging effect. The required poling factors to achieve the optimal piezoelectric characteristics are electric field, 2 kV/mm, temperature $100^{\circ}C$, and poling time 30 Min. From this result electric field 3 kV/mm atmosphere airs there being will be able to use with the polarization insulation medium about the piezoelectric material, confirmed.

This work presents the feasibility of shunt damping far vibration suppression of the rotating HDD disk-spindle system using piezoelectric bimorph. A target vibration mode which significantly restricts the recording density increment of the drive is determined through modal analysis and a piezoelectric bimorph is designed to suppress unwanted vibration. After deriving the two-dimensional generalized electromechanical coupling coefficient of the shunted drive, the shunt damping of the system is predicted by simulating the displacement transmissibility using the coefficient. In addition, optimal design process using sensitivity analysis is undertaken in order to improve the shunt damping of the system. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is verified through experimental implementation by observing the vibration characteristics of the rotating disk-spindle system in frequency domain.

In this study, piezoelectric composite materials of O-3 connectivity were made by, mixing FZT ceramics with polymers, the dependence of volume % PZT and poling condition for dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The measured value of dielectric constant was dependent on the volume % PZT, which was exponentially increased with volume %PZT. Piezoelectric coefficient ($\bar{d}_{33}$) was exponentially increased with volume % PZT. Voltage coefficient ($\bar{g}_{33}$) was decreased with volume % PZT, but it was larger than that of single phase PZT ($\bar{g}_{33}$) because the dielectric constant ($\bar{\varepsilon}_{33}$) of composite materials was decreased.

A new type of cascade sandwiched piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer is presented and studied. The cascade transducer is composed of two traditional longitudinally sandwiched piezoelectric transducers, which are connected together in series mechanically and in parallel electrically. Based on the analytical method, the electromechanical equivalent circuit of the cascade transducer is derived and the resonance/anti-resonance frequency equations are obtained. The impedance characteristics and the vibrational modes of the transducer are analyzed. By means of numerical method, the dependency of the resonance/anti-resonance frequency and the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient on the geometrical dimensions of the cascade transducer are studied and some interesting conclusions are obtained. Two prototypes of the cascade transducers are designed and made; the resonance/anti-resonance frequency is measured. It is shown that the analytical resonance/anti-resonance frequencies are in good agreement with the experimental results. It is expected that this kind of cascade transducer can be used in large power and high intensity ultrasonic applications, such as ultrasonic liquid processing, ultrasonic metal machining and ultrasonic welding and soldering.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the fabrication of P(VDF-TrFE) organic thin films through the vapor deposition method and the piezoelectric properties of the organic thin films thus produced. Vapor deposition was performed under the following conditions: the working temperature, and the pressure of reaction chamber were $300^{\circ}C$, and $2.0{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr, respectively. The molecular structure and crystallinity of the evaporated organic thin films were evaluated by using a FT-IR (Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy) and XRD (X-ray diffractometry), The results showed that crystallinity increased with an increase in the substrate temperature. When the P(VDF-TrFE) organic thin films were fabricated by increasing the substrate temperature, its piezoelectric coefficient($d_{33}$) increased.

Performances of a piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer are analyzed considering the internal losses of a piezoleelctric material and fabricated layers. The KLM-model is adopted for the equivalent circuit of a piezoelectric resonator, and the attenuation coefficient is introduced to represent the internal losses of the transducer. The attenuation coefficient of a piezoelectric resonator is inversely proportional to the maximum value of the input electrical resistance, and is confirmed to be an efficient parameter for the analysis of the considerable lossy piezo-electric resonator operating in a thickness mode. Also, the experimentla RTII is obtained by pulse-echo method. The experimental result is deviated from the predicted one within 3 dB over the 20dB frequency bandwidth.

The piezoelectric composites had many advantages in comparison with conventional piezoelectric ceramics and piezopolymers for ultrasonic transducers used in NDT and in medical ultrasionic imaging. The electromechanical coupling coefficient should be high and the acoustic impedance should be low in these applications. However, the cross-coupling with spurious oscillations caused by laterally running plate waves exhibited complex motions in the surface of piezoelectric composites with coarse lateral spatial scale. The thickness mode electromechanical coupling coefficient of 1-3type of piezoelectric compoistes were 0.36 to 0.64, and the acoustic impedance of them were 9.8 to 22.7 MRayl. The lateral resonance frequency of 1-3 type piezoelectric composites shifted to high frequency region with decreasing lateral spatial scale.

The lead-free piezoelectric ceramics must have high piezoelectric properties and electrical properties for the applications of piezoelectric devices. Therefore, KNN ceramics were investigated as a function of the variation of Nb. The density was increased with the increase of Nb. The density was saturated above 0.8895 mol Nb. The maximum value of electromechanical coupling coefficient(kp) was obtained 0.428 at 0.8895mol Nb. This result can be attributed to the well sintered of specimens. Also, The maximum value of mechanical quality factor(Qm) showed 1554 at 0.8895mol Nb. Therefore, this composition can be used for application of piezoelectric device such as piezoelectric transformer and piezoelectric actuator.
