Using the extensional vibration mode of PZT ring, a piezopump is successfully made. The PZT ring is polarized with thickness direction. The traveling extensional wave along the circumference of the ring is obtained by dividing two standing waves which are temporally and spatially phase shifted by 90 degrees from each other. The proposed piezopump is consisted of coaxial cylindrical shells that are bonded piezoelectric ceramic ring. The pump takes an unobtrusive operation into the simple displacing mechanism using peristaltic traveling waves without the physical moving parts. The finite elements analysis on the proposed pump model is carried out to verify its operation principle and design by the commercial FEM software. Components of piezopump were made, assembled, and tested to validate the concepts of the proposed pump and confirm the simulation results. The performance of the proposed piezopump is about 580 ${\mu}l/min$ in flow rate with the highest pressure level of 0.85 kPa, when the driving voltage is 150 $V_p$, 57 kHz.

Nonlinear dynamic characteristics of active piezolaminated plates are investigated with respect to the thermopiezoelastic behaviors. For largely deformed structures with small strain, the incremental total Lagrangian formulation is presented based on the virtual work principles. A multi-field layer-wise finite shell element is proposed for assuring high accuracy and non-linearity of displacement, electric and thermal fields. For dynamic consideration of thermopiezoelastic snap-through phenomena, the implicit Newmark's scheme with the Newton-Raphson iteration is implemented for the transient response of various piezolaminated models with symmetric or eccentric active layers. The bifurcate thermal buckling of symmetric structural models is first investigated and the characteristics of piezoelectric active responses are studied for finding snap-through piezoelectric potentials and the load-path tracking map. The thermoelastic stable and unstable postbuckling, thermopiezoelastic snap-through phenomena with several attractors are proved using the nonlinear time responses for various initial conditions and damping loss factors. Present results show that thermopiezoelastic snap-through phenomena can result in the difficulty of buckling and postbuckling control of intelligent structures.

In this study, nonlinear vibrations and dynamic instabilities of a smart embedded micro shell conveying varied fluid flow and subjected to the combined electro-thermo-mechanical loadings are investigated. With the aim of designing new hydraulic sensors and actuators, the piezoelectric materials are employed for the body and the effects of applying electric field on the stability of the system as well as the induced voltage due to the dynamic behavior of the system are studied. The nonlocal piezoelasticity theory and the nonlinear cylindrical shell model in conjunction with the energy approach are utilized to mathematically modeling of the structure. The fluid flow is assumed to be isentropic, incompressible and fully develop, and for more generality of the problem both steady and time dependent flow regimes are considered. The mathematical modeling of fluid flow is also carried out based on a scalar potential function, time mean Navier-Stokes equations and the theory of slip boundary condition. Employing the modified Lagrange equations for open systems, the nonlinear coupled governing equations of motion are achieved and solved via the state space problem; forth order numerical integration and Bolotin's method. In the numerical results, a comprehensive discussion is made on the dynamical instabilities of the system (such as divergence, flutter and parametric resonance). We found that applying positive electric potential field will improve the stability of the system as an actuator or vibration amplitude controller in the micro electro mechanical systems.

본 연구에서는 여러개의 원판형 압전소자가 부착된 판구조물의 소음제어를 다루었다. 판재의 아래에는 소음원이 위치하고 이 소음원은 판재를 가진한다. 구조물 및 압전소자는 3차원 요소, 구조물 요소 및 천이요소의 조화로 이루어지는 유한요소로 모델링 되었다. 최적화 과정의 목적함수는 구조물로부터 복사되는 소음 에너지이고 설계변수는 원판형 압전소자의 위치, 크기 및 인가되는 전압이 사용되었다. 최적설계과정에서 요구되는 자동격자형성이 언급되었다. 구조물의 공진 및 비공진 주파수에서 최적설계가 행해졌으며 괄목할 만한 소음감소를 얻었다. 이 결고는 음향 하중의 형태가 다르게 변하더라도 크게 변하지 않는 것이 밝혀졌다. 또한 한 주파수 뿐 아니라 넓은 주파수 영역에서도 압전가진기의 전압을 조정함으로써 좋은감소를 얻을 수 있다.

This paper presents a linear computational homogenization framework to evaluate the effective (or generalized) electromechanical coupling coefficient (EMCC) of adaptive structures with piezoelectric structural fiber (PSF) composite elements. The PSF consists of a silicon carbide (SiC) or carbon core fiber as reinforcement to a fragile piezo-ceramic shell. For the micro-scale analysis, a micromechanics model based on the variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization (VAMUCH) is used to evaluate the overall electromechanical properties of the PSF composites. At the macro-scale, a finite element (FE) analysis with the commercial FE code ABAQUS is performed to evaluate the effective EMCC for structures with the PSF composite patches. The EMCC is postprocessed from free-vibrations analysis under short-circuit (SC) and open-circuit (OC) electrodes of the patches. This linear two-scale computational framework may be useful for the optimal design of active structure multi-functional composites which can be used for multi-functional applications such as structural health monitoring, power harvest, vibration sensing and control, damping, and shape control through anisotropic actuation.

진동하는 구조물의 평면 진동장을 측정하기 위해, 자동화된 스캐닝 레이저 도플러 진동 측정기를 개발하고 이의 성능을 시험하였다. 광섬유를 사용하여 레이저 탐침이 진동체 표면을 따라 움직일 수 있도록 하였으며, 시스템의 자동화를 이루기 위한 알고리즘을 고안하였다. 시스템의 자동화과정은, 레이저 탐침이 진동체 표면을 따라 움직이도록 하며, 표면의 각 측정 점마다 두 레이저 광선들의 초점을 맞추고, 진동 신호 데이터를 얻고 저장하는 모든 과정을 포함한다. 따라서 이 자동화 과정을 이용하여 구조물의 표면 진동장을 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 이 진동 측정기의 성능을 시험하기 위하여, 연속신호로 가진되는 압전 원통 셸의 진동과 펄스 신호에 의해 가진되는 평판의 진동을 측정하였다. 측정결과로부터, 구조물의 평면 진동장을 측정하고 표면을 따라 전파되는 탄성파들을 분리해내기 위하여, 이 자동화된 스캐닝 레이저 도플러 진동 측정기가 유용한 측정 도구가 될 수 있음을 보였다.
