압전재료의 다양한 에너지 변환특성 중 기계-전기 에너지간 변환 특성만을 이용하고자 하는 경우로 한정하고, 압전재료의 물성 및 진동모드, 재료물성 평가 사례들을 요약하여 소개하였다. 그러나 이상에서 설명한 압전특성은 매우 개략적인 개념으로서 우수한 압전 응용부품을 개발하기 위해서는 몇 가지 유의할 사항들이 있다. 압전재료는 보다 기본적으로 열에너지, 기계에너지, 전기에너지, 나아가서 Maxwell 방정식에 의해서 전기장과 연결되는 자기에너지까지도 연결시켜서 상호간에 에너지 변환작용을 일으킬 수 있는 특성을 가진다. 기계적 변형(S) = 탄성변형효과 + 역압전효과 + 열팽창효과 전기적 변위(D) = 압전효과 + 유전효과 + 초전효과 즉, 압전 응용부품이 온도변화 및 자기장이 인가되는 환경에서 순수하게 압전현상만을 이용하고자 한다면, 응용분야 및 주위환경에 따라 압전세라믹 소자가 외부 환경변화에 반응을 하지 않도록 적절한 차단 대책을 수립하여야만 한다. 그러나 압전재료의 외부 자기장의 변화에 대한 반응도는 전기장에 대한 반응도에 비해서 매우 작으므로 통상 무시해도 무방하다고 본다. 그리고 압전재료에서 전기장-기계장의 선형성이 보장되는 크기에는 뚜렷한 한계가 있고, 선형성 영역을 벗어나면 이력특성에 의해 비선형 특성 및 포화상태를 보이게 된다는 점 또한 주의하여야 할 점이다. 또한 압전특성은 Curie 온도이하에서만 존재하고, 그 이상의 온도에서는 쌍극자들의 지나친 운동성에 의해 결정 대칭성이 변하여 압전특성이 소멸되므로 사용 온도 구간에 엄격한 제한을 두어야 함도 응용에 유의하여야 한다.

The stress and displacement fields of a permeable propagating crack in orthotropic piezoelectric materials under anti-plane shear mechanical load and in-plane electric load are analyzed. The equations of motion for the propagating crack in piezoelectric materials are developed and the solution on the stress and the displacement fields through an asymptotic analysis was obtained. The influences of the piezoelectric constant and of the dielectric permittivity on the stress and displacement fields at the crack tip are explicitly clarified. Using the stress and displacement fields obtained in this study, the characteristics of stress and displacement at a propagating crack tip in piezoelectric materials are discussed.

본 논문에서는 수치 해석 방법을 이용하여 $In_{x}Ga_{1-x}N/GaN$ (x=0.06~0.1) 양자우물 구조의 에너지 준위를 계산하였다. InGaN 벌크 샘플(bulk sample)의 PL(photoluminescence) 데이터로부터 bowing factor를 결정한 후 InGaN의 유효 에너지 밴드갭을 계산하였고, InGaN/GaN 양자우물 구조의 전도대와 가전자대의 오프셋(offset)을 0.67/0.33으로 정하였다. 다음으로, 양자화 효과에 의한 에너지 변위와 압전장(piezoelectric field)을 제외한 양축 압축 변형(biaxial compressive strain)에 의한 에너지 변위를 고려하여 기저준위 전자와 heavy hole(le-1hh)간의 천이 에너지를 계산하였다. 계산된 천이 에너지는 PL로 측정한 천이 에너지에 비해 약 9~15 meV 크게 관찰되었는데, 이것은 InGaN/GaN 양자우물 계면에 발생하는 압전장 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

An unsteadily propagating permeable crack in piezoelectric materials (PMs) under anti-plane shear mechanical loading and in-plane electric loading is studied. The equilibrium equations for a transiently propagating crack in a PM are developed, and the solutions on the stress and displacement fields for a permeable crack though an asymptotic analysis are obtained. The influences of piezoelectric constant, dielectric permittivity, time rate of change of the crack tip speed and time rate of change of stress intensity factor on the stress and displacement fields at the transiently propagating crack tip are explicitly clarified. By using the stress and displacements, the characteristics of the stress and displacement at a transiently propagating crack tip in a PM are discussed.

Thermopiezoelastic snap-through phenomena of piezolaminated plates are investigated by applying an are-length scheme to Newton-Raphson method. Based on the layerwise displacement theory and von Karman strain-displacement relationships, nonlinear finite element formulations are derived for the thermopiezoelastic composite plates. From the static and dynamic viewpoint, nonlinear thermopierzoelastic behavior and vibration characteristicx are stuied for symmetric and eccentric structural models with various piezoelestric actuation modes. Present results show the possibility to enhance the performance, namely thermopiezoelastic snapping, induced by the excessive piezoelectric actuation in the active suppression of thermally buckled large deflection piezolaminated paltes.

In this survey paper, the application research and development trends of piezoelectric materials are reviewed. Advantages and disadvantages of piezoelectric materials, and the recent research to overcome the drawbacks are discussed. The market of piezoelectric sensors and actuators in USA, Japan, and EU is surveyed with several examples. In Korea, the analytical research concerning piezoelectric materials is active but the developments of devices and equipments are not so active, and the investment in this field is necessary.

The measurement of strain under an electric field has been widely employed to comprehend the fundamental principles of electro-mechanical responses in ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and electrostrictive materials. In particular, understanding the strain properties of piezoelectric materials in response to electrical stimulation is crucial for researching and developing components such as piezoelectric actuators, acoustic devices, and ultrasonic generators. This tutorial paper introduces the components and operational principles of the linear variable differential transducer (LVDT), a widely used displacement measurement device in various industries. Additionally, we present the configuration of an experimental setup using LVDT to measure the strain characteristics of ferroelectric, piezoelectric, or electrostrictive materials under the application of an electric field. This paper includes simple measurement results and analyses obtained through the LVDT experimental setup, providing valuable information on research methods for the electro-mechanical interactions of various materials.

A new type of ultrasonic spray nozzle was fabricated employing a piezoelectric device. The spray nozzle was designed to disperse chemicals in a water treatment mixing tank. The piezoelectric properties in ultrasonic spray nozzles were optimized to improve the dispersion of chemicals. The piezoelectrics were packaged in an aluminum case with silicone resin for the aqueous solution proof packaging. Chemicals were dispersed with high efficiency and the chemicals consumption was reduced by the ultrasonic fine particle spraying. The concentration of Escherichia coli in mixing tank was decreased remarkably using ultrasonic spray nozzle dispersion compared to the conventional methods.
