Lead oxide based ceramics, represented by PZT, are the most widely used materials for piezoelectric actuators, sensors, and transducers due to their excellent piezoelectric properties. In particular, high-performance multilayered piezoelectric ceramics for advanced electronic components have drawn great attention. In order to develop piezoelectric ceramics capable of being sintered at low temperature for multilayer piezoelectric device applications, the effect of CuO additions on the microstructures and electromechanical properties of the 0.4Pb$(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.25PbZrO_3-0.35PbTiO_3$ ceramics was investigated. The samples with CuO addition were synthesized by ordinary sintering technique. X-ray diffractions indicated that all samples formed a single phase perovskite structure. The addition of CuO improved the sinterability of the samples and caused an increase in the density and grain size at low temperature. The optimum sintering temperature was lowered by CuO additions. Excellent piezoelectric and electromechanical responses, $d_{33}$ ~ 663 pC/N, $k_p$ ~ 0.72, were obtained for the samples of high density with 0.1 wt% CuO addition sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 4 h in air. These results show that the piezoelectric properties of PMNZT ceramics can be improved by controlling the microstructure and this system is potentially a good candidate as multilayer piezoelectric device for a wide range of electro-mechanical transducer applications.

NDT나 의료용 영장장치에 응용되는 압전복합재는 일반적인 세라믹이나 고분자 압전재료에 비하여 많은 장점을 가진다. 이들 응용분야에서는 전기기계결합계수가 높아야 하고 음향임피던스가 낮아야 한다. 그러나, 압전복합재의 횡방향 단위 크기가 조밀하지 못할 경우 횡방향으로 진행하는 판파에 의한 불필요한 진통이 표면에 발생하게 된다. 횡방향 단위 크기와 세라믹 체적비에 따른 압전 특성을 조사하기 위하여 PMN-PZT 세라믹과 Epofix 에폭시로 에폭시의 폭의 달리하면서 1-3형 압전복합채를 제작하였다. 제작된 1-3형 압전복합재의 두께방향 진동모드의 전기기계결합계 수, 음향임피던스는 각각 $0.36{\sim}0.64,\;9.8{\sim}22.7MRayl$ MRayl로 나타났으며, 횡방향 단위크기가 줄어들수록 횡방향 모드 공진 주파수가 증가하였다.

An operation temperature of $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ based piezoelectric ultrasonic flowmeter was generally restricted to below 200$^{\circ}C$ due to a low depoling temperature of its ceramic material. Thus, a new designed piezoelectric ultrasonic flowmeter was fabricated in order to protect from the extremely hot fluid. Its structure is optimized by a finite element method to effectively stop heat flowing along a waveguide. Various materials such as Cu, Al, SUS were examined as a multi-plate radiation shield to enhance the performance of piezoelectric ultrasonic flowmeter. The SUS was evaluated as the most effective material to enhance the performance of piezoelectric ultrasonic flowmeter. As the number of plates of the radiation shield increased, the temperature at piezoelectric transducer away from the hot fluid was constantly decreased with a ratio of 3.12$^{\circ}C$ per the plate number.

초음파 변환기는 광음향 및 초음파 영상 조합과 영상 평가에 있어 필수 구성 요소이다. 그러나 기존의 초음파 변환기는 불투명하여 광음향 영상을 획득하기 위해서는 광이 초음파 변환기를 우회 해야한다. 동축 정렬이 없다면 광 도달 영역이 제한되고 이를 해결하기 위해 복잡한 구성으로 시스템의 부피가 커지는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 광학적으로 투명한 초음파 변환기를 개발하기 위해 다양한 접근 방법이 연구되었다. 기존의 불투명한 초음파 변환기와 다르게 광학적으로 투명한 초음파 변환기는 특정 압전소자와 용도에 맞는 다양한 제작 방법이 존재한다. 본 연구에서 압전소자 기반의 투명 초음파 변환기에 사용되는 재료로 Lithium Niobate(LNO), Lead Magnesium Niobate-Lead Titanate(PMN-PT), Polyvinylidene Difluoride(PVDF)를 사용한 결과를 비교하였다. LNO는 투명 초음파 변환기에서 많이 사용되는 압전소자이고, PMN-PT는 LNO보다 높은 송수신율로 최근 활발히 연구되고 있다. 기존 투명 변환기는 광음향 해상도보다 초음파 해상도가 낮지만, 최근 PVDF를 사용하여 높은 초음파 해상도의 투명 집속초음파 변환기를 제작하고 있다. 이러한 투명 초음파 변환기 제작 결과에 대한 비교 분석을 수행하였다.

The effect of liquid confined in a pipe on elastic waves propagating in the pipe wall was studied theoretically and experimentally. The axisymmetric motion of the wave was modeled with the cylindrical membrane shell theory. The liquid pressure satisfying the axisymmetric wave equation was included in the governing equation as a radial load. The phase speed of the wave propagating in the axial direction was calculated, accounting for the apparent mass of the liquid. Experiments were performed in a pipe equipped with ring-shaped, piezoelectric transducers that were used for transmitting and receiving axisymmetric elastic waves in the pipe wall. The measured wave speeds were compared with the analytical ones. This work demonstrates the feasibility of using pipe waves for the determination of the density and, eventually, the flow rate of the liquid in a pipe.

This paper presents a novel approach for Lamb wave based structural health monitoring(SHM) in honeycomb aluminum panels. In this study, a suite of three signal processing algorithms are employed to improve the damage detection capability. The signal processing algorithms used include wavelet attenuation, correlation coefficients of power density spectra, and triangulation of reflected waves. Piezoelectric transducers are utilized as both sensors and actuators for Lamb wave propagation. These SHM algorithms are built into a MatLab interface that integrates and automates the hardware and software operations and displays the results for each algorithm to the analyst for side by side comparison. The effectiveness of each of these signal processing algorithms for SHM in honeycomb aluminum panels under a variety of damage conditions is then demonstrated.

A piezo-buzzer being used for the purpose of generation of audible frequency, which is a electric-acoustic transducer utilizing the inverse piezoelectric effect. Also it can be used for a pressure sensor according to the piezoelectric effect. But the output of a piezo-buzzer is a differential signal. In this study, we've made a system that can measure a real pressure by integration of output signal. According to our results, it could be found a possibility of application for pressure sensor by measurement of output characteristics when a piezo-buzzer was pressurized and depressurized, and by measuring of an error by means of the drift current of OP-Amp, etc..

광간섭 단층촬영(OCT)용으로 원통형 압전소자(PZT)와 단일모드 광섬유를 이용한 광경로 지연기를 제작하여 정현파로 구동하고 특성을 분석하였다. 제작한 OCT 시스템은 검침단과 기준단을 대칭 구동하는 이중 광경로 지연방식을 사용하였다. 정현파 구동을 통한 PZT 광경로 지연 방식은 삼각파 구동과 비교하여 입력파형의 첨두 부분에서의 비선형현상을 제거하여 높은 반복성을 나타냄을 보였고, 삼각파 구동으로는 불가능했던 부분을 영상화 할 수 있었다.
