Nonlinear Mechanical and Actuation Characterization of Piezoceramic Fiber Composites
The use of piezoelectric ceramic materials for structural actuation is a fairly well developed practice that has found use in a wide variety of applications. However, actuators with piezoceramic fibers and interdigitated electrodes have risen to the forefront of the intelligent structures community …

The electromechanical effect in bone
Although bone is piezoelectric, the signal from bent bone cannot be described by the piezoelectric effect if the samples are assumed to be homogeneous. To account for the symmetry properties and z-dependence of the signal from dry bone in cantilever bending, a theory postulating a polarization …

High Performance Lead--free Piezoelectric Materials
Piezoelectric materials find applications in number of devices requiring inter-conversion of mechanical and electrical energy. These devices include different types of sensors, actuators and energy harvesting devices. A number of lead-based perovskite compositions (PZT, PMN-PT, PZN-PT etc.) have …

Sintering kinetics and properties of highly pure lead zirconate titanate ceramics
… in actuators and sensors due to its excellent piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. However, impurities, one of the major problems involved in the mass production of PZT ceramics, have not attracted enough attention. In this thesis, investigations on the effects of impurities from the raw …
