Attaching a piezoelectric transducer to a vibrating structure, and shunting it with an electric circuit, gives rise to different passive, semi-passive, and semi-active control techniques. This paper attempts to review the research related to structural vibration control, via passive, semi-passive, and semi-active control methods. First, the existing electromechanical modeling is reviewed, along with the modeling methods. These range from lumped parameters, to distributed parameters modeling of piezostructural systems shunted by electrical networks. Vibration control laws are then discussed, covering passive, semi-passive, and semi-active control techniques, which are classified according to whether external power is supplied to the piezoelectric transducers, or not. Emphasis is placed on recent articles covering semi-passive and semi-active control techniques, based upon switched shunt circuits. This review provides the necessary background material for researchers interested in the growing field of vibration damping and control, via shunted piezostructural systems.

A piezoelectric ultrasonic linear motor shaped with 'Butterfly' wings has been developed for thin electronics such as cellular phone and PDA. The butterfly piezoelectric transducer is simply composed of an elastic plate, which includes a tip for energy transfer and two protrusions to fix it, and two piezoelectric ceramics. Contact materials, such as a brass, and steel and alumina can make it possible to improve dynamic properties of the motors over a wide range of tribological conditions. The dynamic properties of the motor have been intensively measured and analyzed according to the applied voltage wave forms at the various frequencies. The results of numerical study and experimental investigation will be used for the future optimization of the actuator and the realization of the advanced ultrasonic motor.

This paper investigates the vibration characteristics of a wire-bonding transducer horn for high speed welding devices. The sample wire-bonder uses the input frequency of 136 kHz. The ultrasonic excitation causes the various vibrations of transducer horn and capillary. The vibration modes and frequencies close to the exciting frequency are identified using ANSYS. The nodal lines and amplification ratio of the ultrasonic horn are also obtained in order to evaluate the bonding performance of the sample wire-bonder system. The FEM results and experimental results show that the sample wire-bonder system uses the bending mode of 136 kHz as principal motion for bonding. The major longitudinal mode exists at 119 kHz below the excitation frequency. It is recommeded that the sample system is to set the excitation frequency at 119 kHz to improve bonding performance.

In this paper, to develop the ceramics with high $d_{33}$ and high $Q_m$ for ultrasonic transducer applications, $0.10Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.07Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.83Pb(Zr_{0.5}Ti_{0.5})_{0.83}O_3$ (PNN-PMN-PZT) ceramics were sintered at $940^{\circ}C$ using $CuO-Li_2CO_3-Bi_2O_3$ (CLBO) as a sintering aid by a traditional solid-state technique. The influence of zinc oxide additive on the physical properties of the prepared ceramics were systematically investigated. The R-T (rhombohedral-tetragonal) phase coexistence was found in the ceramics without zinc oxide additive and with increasing amounts of ZnO additive, the specimens showed a tetragonal phase. The formation of a liquid phase between ZnO and $Bi_2O_3$ contributed significantly to the grain growth of specimens. For the 0.1 wt% ZnO ceramics, the optimal physical properties of $d_{33}=370pC/N$, ${\varepsilon}_r=1,344$, $k_p=0.621$, and $Q_m=1,523$ were obtained.

복수의 음향유동에 의해 형성되는 유속의 분포를 해석하기 위하여 동일한 두 개의 압전진동자로 구성된 초음파 트랜스듀서에 의해 형성되는 음향유동에 대해 음원 사이의 각도에 따른 음향유동속도의 분포를 조사하였다. 거리에 따른 유체입자속도의 분포를 측정하기 위하여 물과 동일한 밀도를 갖는 표시액을 사용한 간단한 측정방법을 제안하였다. 수치해석적인 방법으로 시뮬레이션한 결과와 실험결과는 유사한 경향을 나타내었으며, 두 음원으로부터 방사된 평면파의 방사빔이 교차하는 각도에 따른 음향유동의 속도 분포의 변화를 해석할 수 있었다.

Cu-Ti thin films were fabricated using a combinatorial sputtering system to realize highly sensitive surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. The Cu-Ti sample library was grown with various chemical compositions and electrical resistivity, providing important information for selecting the most suitable materials for SAW devices. Considering that acoustic waves generated from piezoelectric materials are significantly affected by the resistivity and density of interdigital transducer (IDT) electrodes, three types of Cu-Ti thin films with different Cu contents were fabricated. The thickness of the Cu-Ti thin films used in the SAW-IDT electrode was fixed at 150 nm. As the Cu content of the Cu-Ti films was increased from 31.2 to 71.3 at%, the resistivity decreased from 10.5 to 5.8 × 10^-5 ohm-cm, and the density increased from 5.5 to 7.3 g/cm³, respectively. A SAW device composed of Cu-Ti IDT electrodes resonated at exactly 143 MHz without frequency shifts, but the full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of the resonant frequency gradually increased as the Cu content increased. This means that although the increase in Cu content in the Cu-Ti thin film helps to improve the electrical properties of the IDT electrode, the increased density of the IDT electrode deteriorates the acoustic performance of SAW devices.

A State-of-art methodologies on implementing conventional piezoelectric and flexible PVDF elements for generating ultrasonic guided waves in a tubing are presented. Comb transducers with PVDF can be efficiently applied to selectively excite a guided wave mode by wrapping around any size pipe while a conventional immersion type piezo-elements can be also possibly used with a modification of transducer fabrication. Technical comparisons between the use of angle beam probe and comb one will be also discussed in detail. The presented technique can be easily applied to NDE for a long range inspection of tubular structures.

Magnetostrictive materials are routinely employed as actuator and sensor elements in a wide variety of noise and vibration control problems. In infrastructural applications, other technologies such as hydraulic actuation, piezoelectric materials and more recently, magnetorheological fluids, are being favored for actuation and sensing purposes. These technologies have reached a degree of technical maturity and in some cases, cost effectiveness, which justify their broad use in infrastructural applications. Advanced civil structures present new challenges in the areas of condition monitoring and repair, reliability, and high-authority actuation which motivate the need to explore new methods and materials recently developed in the areas of materials science and transducer design. This paper provides an overview of a class of materials that because of the large force, displacement, and energy conversion effciency that it can provide is being considered in a growing number of quasistatic and dynamic applications. Since magnetostriction involves a bidirectional energy exchange between magnetic and elastic states, magnetostrictive materials provide mechanisms both for actuation and sensing. This paper provides an overview of materials, methods and applications with the goal to inspire novel solutions based on magnetostrictive materials for the design and control of advanced infrastructural systems.
