에너지 하베스트 기술은 자연의 빛에너지, 휴대용 기기 탑재/부착장치의 미세 진동에너지, 걷거나 뛰는 인간의 신체활동으로 인한 소산에너지 등을 흡수하여 전기에너지로 변환, 전자기기의 전력으로 사용하는 재생형 에너지원이다. 본 논문에서는 그 중 주변 환경에서 에너지를 끌어 쓸 수 있는 기술 중 압전 효과 방식을 이용한 진동 형태의 에너지 하베스트 기술을 활용하여 설계하고 FEM simulation을 통해 분석해보았다. 압전 물질로는 PZT를 사용하고 메탈기반의 캔틸레버로는 구리를 사용하여 크기를 길이, 넓이, 폭 각각 $6{\times}4{\times}0.025mm^3$으로 모델링하여 444Hz의 공진주파수에서 응력이 $2.68e^{+5}Pa$ 발생하는 결과를 얻었다. 그 결과 $d_{33}$ 모드의 전극형태에서 전압을 2.56V 얻을 수 있음을 추론할 수 있었다.

In order to investigate the performance of compression-type accelerometer on piezoelectric properties, PZT materials have been studied. The ring-shaped piezoelectric elements were prepared using commercial PZT powders by conventional ceramic process. Their estimated relative dielectric constant, piezoelectric charge constant (d33) and voltage constant (g33) values showed 390∼3400, (90∼593)×10-12 C/N and (19.5∼40.5)×10-3 V-m/N, respectively. The charge sensitivity of accelerometer is proportional to the piezoelectric charge constant value (d33) of PZT, but its voltage sensitivity is related with the piezoelectric voltage constant (g33). Since the mounted resonance frequency and sensitivity are dependent on the seismic mass as well as physical charateristics and size of PZT elements, the suitable considerations between two components are required for accelerometer's design.

One of the major problems limiting the accuracy of piezoelectric transducers fur cylinder pressure measurements in an internal combustion (IC) engine is the thermal shock. Thermal shock is generated from the temperature variation during the cycle. This temperature variation results in contraction and expansion of the diaphragm and consequently changes the force acting on the quartz in the pressure transducer An empirical equation for compensation of the thermal shock error was derived from consideration of the diaphragm thermal deformation and actual pressure data. The result indicate that the thermal shock equation provides reliable correction based on known surface temperature swing.

최근 3년간 판 구조물의 손상진단에서 시간반전램파 (Time reversal Lamb waves)의 가능성이 주목 받고 있다. 시간반전음향학(Time reversal acoustics)에 의하면 시간반전램파의 공간모임을 적절히 활용하면 판에 순간적으로 가해지거나 발생한 충격하중의 위치를 높은 공간해상도와 신호대 잡음비로 추정할 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 시간반전램파의 공간모임을 직사각형 평판에서 가상탐지자 모델을 이용하여 모사한다. 특히, 평판에서의 파 반사에 의해 발생하는 가상탐지자 효과에 의해 단일 부착형 압전소자만을 사용하더라도 시간반전 램파의 공간 모임 구현이 가능함을 보인다. 또한 제안된 방법의 결과를 유한 요소 해석결과와 비교하고 제안된 방법의 타당성을 보인다.

Vibration and acoustic noise arise from the Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) because of the piezoelectric effect of dielectric substance which consists of $BaTiO_3$. However, the phenomenon is not analyzed clearly because the MLCC shows different behavior compare with ordinary piezoelectric substance like PZT. Thus, MLCC was tested under the several DC bias conditions and heat treatment effect was also tested and analyzed in this paper. From the test, MLCC shows not only piezoelectric effect but also another physical phenomenon like electrostriction. Also, it was verified that DC bias affect to the piezoelectric constant of MLCC.

Green house gas emissions are increasing as development of the industrial economy of the international community. Many countries in the world are endeavoring to reduce green house gas emissions under severe climate change. In order to protect grobal warming, government is trying to reduce green gas emissions under "Low Carbon Green Growth Policy" and investing climiate-firendly industries such as renewable energy harvesting. Renewable energy has been rapidly developing as a result of investment for development technology of using natural energy such as solar, wind, tidal, etc. There are lots of waste energy in the road space. However, nobody is not interested in waste energy from the road space. This paper present a fundamentally experimental study of energy harvesting technique to use waste energy in the road. The waste energy in the road is covered a pressure and impact of vehicles on the road, the radiant heat from asphalt pavement, road noise and vibration etc. In this study, an energy harvesting device using piezoelectric element is proposed and various tests are conducted to investigate a characteristic of this device as function of impact loading based on piezoelectric effect behavior. This paper shows the energy harvesting results of the device using domestic piezoelectirc element as a function of impact load size and pavement types.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a representative polymer with the piezoelectric property has been studied since the 1960s. Crystalline structure of poly(vinylidene fluoride) polymer is composed of five different crystal structure of the polymer as a semi-crystalline. Among the various crystal structures, ${\beta}-type$ crystal exhibits a piezoelectricity because the permanent dipoles are aligned in one direction. Generally ${\beta}-form$ crystal structure can be obtained through the transformation of the ${\alpha}-form$ crystal structure by the stretching and it can increase the amount through the after treatment as poling process after stretching. ${\beta}-form$ crystal structure the PVDF fibers produced by wet spinning is formed through a diffusion mechanism of a polar solvent in the coagulation bath. However, it has a disadvantage that the diffusion path of the solvent remains as pores in the fiber because the fiber solidification occurs simultaneously with the diffusion of the polar solvent. These pores play a role in reducing effect of poling process owing to effect of disturbances acting on the polarization by the electric field. In this work, the drying method using the microwave was introduced to remove more effectively the residual solvent and the pore within PVDF fibers produced through wet-spinning process and piezoelectric PVDF fibers was produced by transformation of the remaining ${\alpha}$ form crystal structure into ${\beta}-crystal$ structure through the stretching process.

In this study, Ti powder/Polymer concrete composites were processed by adding the PZT powder, one of the piezoelectric materials, to improve the vibration damping effect of Polymer concrete. Ti powder was added at a constant ratio in order to maximize the vibration damping effect using the piezoelectric effect. Three types of composite material specimens were prepared: a specimen without PZT powder, specimens with 2.5 wt% and 5 wt% of PZT powder. The vibration characteristics and compression properties were analyzed for all specimens. As a result, it was confirmed that as the addition ratio of PZT powder increased, the Inertance value at the resonant frequency decreased due to the piezoelectric effect when the vibration generated from Ti powder/polymer concrete was transmitted. Especially, the Inertance value was decreased by about 19.3% compared to the specimen without PZT at the resonant frequency. The change in acceleration with time also significantly decreased as PZT powder was added, confirming the effect of PZT addition. In addition, through the compression strength test, it was found that the degree of deterioration in compression properties due to the addition of PZT up to 5 wt% was insignificant, and it was confirmed that the powder was evenly dispersed in the composites through the cross-sectional analysis of the specimen.

A technique was researched to detect bolt looseness using a transfer impedance technique (the dual piezoelectric material technique) for monitoring the structural health of a bolt joint. In order to use the single piezoelectric material technique, an expensive impedance analyzer should be used. However, in the transfer impedance technique, low-cost fault detection can be performed using a general function generator and a digital multimeter. A steel plate frame test specimen composed of bolt joints was fabricated, and the tightening torques of the bolts were loosened step by step. By using the transfer impedance method, the damage index was obtained. It was found that the presence of faults could be reasonably estimated using the damage index, which increased with the degree of bolt looseness. An experiment was performed on the same specimen using the single piezoelectric material technique, and the results showed a similar tendency. It could be possible to estimate the damage of a bolt joint at low cost by eliminating the expensive impedance analyzer. This method could be used effectively for structural health monitoring after carrying out a study to estimate the fault location and severity.

For the application of Lamb wave to structural health monitoring(SHM), understanding its physical characteristic and interaction between Lamb wave and defect of the host structure is an important issue. In this study, reflected, transmitted and mode converted Lamb waves at discontinuity of a plate structure were simulated and the amplitude ratios are calculated theoretically using Modal decomposition method. The predicted results were verified comparing with finite element method(FEM) and experimental results simulating attached PZTs. The result shows that the theoretical prediction is close to the FEM and the experimental verification. Moreover, quantitative estimation method was suggested using amplitude ratio of Lamb wave at discontinuity.
