In recent years the interest in online monitoring of lightweight structures with ultrasonic guided waves is steadily growing. Especially the aircraft industry is a driving force in the development of structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. In order to optimally design SHM systems powerful and efficient numerical simulation tools to predict the behaviour of ultrasonic elastic waves in thin-walled structures are required. It has been shown that in real industrial applications, such as airplane wings or fuselages, conventional linear and quadratic pure displacement finite elements commonly used to model ultrasonic elastic waves quickly reach their limits. The required mesh density, to obtain good quality solutions, results in enormous computational costs when solving the wave propagation problem in the time domain. To resolve this problem different possibilities are available. Analytical methods and higher order finite element method approaches (HO-FEM), like p-FEM, spectral elements, spectral analysis and isogeometric analysis, are among them. Although analytical approaches offer fast and accurate results, they are limited to rather simple geometries. On the other hand, the application of higher order finite element schemes is a computationally demanding task. The drawbacks of both methods can be circumvented if regions of complex geometry are modelled using a HO-FEM approach while the response of the remaining structure is computed utilizing an analytical approach. The objective of the paper is to present an efficient method to couple different HO-FEM schemes with an analytical description of an undisturbed region. Using this hybrid formulation the numerical effort can be drastically reduced. The functionality of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by studying the propagation of ultrasonic guided waves in plates, excited by a piezoelectric patch actuator. The actuator is modelled utilizing higher order coupled field finite elements, whereas the homogenous, isotropic plate is described analytically. The results of this "semi-analytical" approach highlight the opportunities to reduce the numerical effort if closed-form solutions are partially available.

본 연구에서는 압전소자의 EMI 신호변화를 이용하여 시멘트계 재료의 응결특성을 평가하였다. 시멘트 페이스트에 매립된 PZT센서의 수화시간에 따른 EMI 신호변화를 비카트침 시험과 간이단열시험을 통한 수화온도곡선과 비교하였다. 실험결과, 시멘트 페이스트가 수화함에 따라 PZT센서의 EMI 공진피크와 공진주파수의 변화가 나타났으며, 이러한 변화시점은 비카트침 시험과 간이단열시험을 통한 수화온도곡선으로부터 획득한 응결시간과 부합하는 것으로 나타났다.

Poling is an important process in fabricating PZT ceramic devices such as filters and resonators and activates piezoelectricity to sintered PZT ceramics. Tolerance of the operating frequency of these devices is tightly required in applications. And a factor to attribute the tolerance is the temperature dependence of the resonance frequency of PZT ceramics. In this paper the relationship of poling strength and temperature dependence of resonance frequency of PZT specimens was studied. The $Pb(Zr_{0.53}Ti_{0.47})O_3$ ceramics were fabricated and the poling strengths were chosen to be 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 [kV/mm]. The dielectric constant of the specimen poled in poling strength 0.5 [kV/mm] was less than that of unpoled specimen and the specimen poled in higher electric field had the higher dielectric constant. (002) peak in X-ray diffraction patterns of the specimens increased as poling strength increased. And the change of resonance frequency of the specimens according to the variation of temperature was measured. Resonance frequency of all specimens increased as the temperature increased. The specimen poled in higher electric field had the smaller positive temperature coefficient of resonance frequency. The effect that temperature coefficient of resonance frequency becomes smaller is obtained when Zr mole in PZT composition equation increase. Controlling the poling strength is believed to be a method to adjust the temperature stability of resonance frequency of the PZT ceramic devices.

In this paper, based on the CPT, motion equations for a sandwich plate containing a core and two integrated face-sheets have derived. The structure rests on the Visco-Pasternak foundation, which includes normal and shear modules. The piezo-magnetic core is made of CoFe₂O₄ and also is subjected to 3D magnetic potential. Two face sheets at top and bottom of the core are under electrical fields. Also, in order to obtain more accuracy, the effect of flexoelectricity has took into account at face sheets' relations in this work. Flexoelectricity is a property of all insulators whereby they polarize when subject to an inhomogeneous deformation. This property plays a crucial role in small-scale rather than macro scale. Employing CPT, Hamilton's principle, flexoelectricity considerations, the governing equations are derived and then solved analytically. By present work a detailed numerical study is obtained based on Piezoelectricity, Flexoelectricity and modified couple stress theories to indicate the significant effect of length scale parameter, shear correction factor, aspect and thickness ratios and boundary conditions on natural frequency of sandwich plates. Also, the figures show that there is an excellent agreement between present study and previous researches. These finding can be used for automotive industries, aircrafts, marine vessels and building industries.

The effects of MnO$_2$ and Fe$_2$O$_3$ on the piezoelectric properties of 0.05PMN-0.451PT-0.499PZ ceramics were investigated. The addition of MnO$_2$ increased mechanical quality factor (Q$_m$) but decreased the dielectric constant (K$^{T}_{33}$) and compliance (S$^{E}_{11}$) of the specimens. These results indicated that MnO$_2$ behaves as an acceptor in 0.05MN-0.451PT-0.499PZ ceramics. The electromecanical coupling coefficient (K$_P$) of 0.05PMN-0.451PT-0.499PZ ceramics slightly increased with the addition of MnO$_2$ however, the enhancement of $K_P$ was insignificant. A small amount of Fe$_2$O$_3$ was added to enhance the $K_P$ of the 0.05PMN-0.451PT-0.499PZ + 0.5 wt% MnO$_2$ ceramics. The addition of Fe$_2$O$_3$ largely increased $K_P$ through the increase of the K$^{T}_{33}$ and the polarization. The mechanical quality factor of the specimens decreased with the addition of Fe$_2$O$_3$however, the reduction was negligible.

가해준 하중에 따라 폴리(비닐리덴 플루오라이드) (PVDF) 필름에서 발생하는 전압을 측정하며 분포형 촉각센서로서의 특성을 연구하였다. PVDF 필름에 전기장과 온도를 달리하면서 극화 (poling)의 변화를 주었고 이에 따른 필름의 압전성을 나타내는 $\beta$-결정상의 피크를 FT-IR. DSC와 XRD를 사용하여 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 온도와 전압의 영역에서는 극화 온도가 증가함에 따라 그리고 극화 전압이 증가함에 따라 $\beta$-결정상은 증가하였으며, 이에 따라 유전상수가 역시 증가하였다. 8$\times$8어레이 (array)로 제작된 촉각센서에 힘을 가하여 극화에 따른 전압 발생량을 측정한 결과, 극화가 많이 된 시편의 경우 높은 전압이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.

FBAR(Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) 소자의 공진특성을 결정하는 가장 중요한 요소는 압전막의 압전성을 들 수 있다. FBAR 압전막으로 유력한 ZnO 압전박막은 (002)면 c-축 우선배향성(preferred orientation)의 정도에 따라서 압전성이 결정된다. 그러므로 ZnO 박막의 우선배향성에 관한 연구는 많은 연구자들의 관심사가 되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 ZnO 보조씨드충(helped seed layer)을 이용하여 ZnO 압전박막의 우선배향성에 대하여 조사하였으며, rocking curve의 표준편차$(\sigma)$ 값이 $1.15^{\circ}$인 주상형 결정립을 가진 c-축 ZnO 압전박막이 우수한 압전특성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

This research deals with wave propagation of the functionally graded (FG) nano-beams based on the nonlocal elasticity theory considering surface and flexoelectric effects. The FG nano-beam is resting in Winkler-Pasternak foundation. It is assumed that the material properties of the nano-beam changes continuously along the thickness direction according to simple power-law form. In order to include coupling of strain gradients and electrical polarizations in governing equations of motion, the nonlocal non-classical nano-beam model containg flexoelectric effect is used. Also, the effects of surface elasticity, dielectricity and piezoelectricity as well as bulk flexoelectricity are all taken into consideration. The governing equations of motion are derived using Hamilton principle based on first shear deformation beam theory (FSDBT) and also considering residual surface stresses. The analytical method is used to calculate phase velocity of wave propagation in FG nano-beam as well as cut-off frequency. After verification with validated reference, comprehensive numerical results are presented to investigate the influence of important parameters such as flexoelectric coefficients of the surface, bulk and residual surface stresses, Winkler and shear coefficients of foundation, power gradient index of FG material, and geometric dimensions on the wave propagation characteristics of FG nano-beam. The numerical results indicate that considering surface effects/flexoelectric property caused phase velocity increases/decreases in low wave number range, respectively. The influences of aforementioned parameters on the occurrence cut-off frequency point are very small.
