In this article, the constitutive relations of three types of piezoelectric benders, which are a unimorph bender, a bimorph bender and a triple-layer bender, are derived based on the beam theory under the quasi-static equilibrium condition. The relation coefficients are described as the geometry and material properties of the benders. More general constitutive relations involving fixed-free, fixed-roll, and fixed-simply supported boundary conditions under the inconsistent length condition between the piezoelectric layer and the nonpiezoelectric one are discussed. The complicated constitutive relations can be easily calculated and checked by using the symbolic function in ‘Mathematica’. The relation coefficients for the benders are plotted in three dimensional graph using the developed program.

This paper proposes a novel curved shape piezoelectric unimorph using a new fabrication method. Instead of using thermal coefficient mismatch, which has been used for conventional processes for curved shape unimorphs, we used pre-stressed substrates and the room temperature adhesion process. A difference of the mechanical strains between the substrate and the piezoelectric layer makes the final manufactured unimorph get curved. Several performance tests of the proposed unimorph actuators were accomplished and the test results showed the proposed unimorph actuator got comparable actuation capability compared with conventional curved shape actuators.

A method to derive the constitutive relations of a piezoelectric bender actuator is developed here. The constitutive relations are derived from the geometry, material properties of the actuator. The very complicated constitutive relations can be easily calculated by use of symbolic function in Mathematica. The developed program can calculate the constitutive relations for the unimorph bender made by attaching a short piezoelectric beam on a longer metal beam. The program can also calculate the constitutive relations of a piezoelectric bender with spring at its end.

이 논문에서는 최근 다시 주목을 끌고 있는 압전소자를 이용한 에너지 획득에 대한 개념을 한 진동원에 응용하여 그 에너지의 이용가능성을 분석해 보고자 한다. 에너지 획득기로는 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 유니모프 압전 캔틸레버 벤더를 사용한다. 먼저 압전 에너지 획득기에 대해 base excitation에서의 거동을 이론적으로 분석하고 실험실내에서 수행할 수 있는 압전 에너지 획득기를 제작하여 가진기 상에서 발생하는 전력을 측정한다. 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 통해 진동에너지로부터 획득한 전기에너지가 각종 센서는 물론 기계부품들의 진단시스템에 필요한 전원을 공급할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.
