In this paper, a hexagon-type piezoelectric transformer was investigated to increase the output power. The length of its side was 14mm and 17.5mm, respectively. The piezoelectric ceramics was composed to PZT-PMN-PSN. This composition showed the characteristics which had an about 1500 of the mechanical Q-factor, 0.55 of the electromechanical coupling coefficient, $320{\times}10^{-12}C/N$ of the piezoelectric constant $d_{31}$, 0.3 % of the dissipation factor, etc. The voltage step-up ratio increased with increasing the load resistance, $R_{L}$, so it reached 80 with $R_{L}$ of $1M{\Omega}$ and was proportion to the length of side of the hexagon-type piezoelectric transformer. Also, the output power increased with increasing the size of the hexagon-type piezoelectric transformer.

본 논문은 압전세라믹의 압전상수 d$_{33}$ 를 이용한 적층 세라믹 박판 작동층 IDEAL (InterDigitated Electrode Actuation Layer)의 개발에 관한 것이다. 대부분의 박판 압전 작동층은 압전상수 d$_{31}$ 효과를 이용하고 있다. 현재 개발된 압전작동기의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 많은 연구가 수행 중에 있으며, 그 중 한 방법이 압전상수 d$_{33}$ 를 이용하는 방법이다. 압전세라믹의 압전상수 d$_{33}$ 는 압전상수 d$_{31}$ 보다 일반적으로 두배 정도이기 때문에 d$_{33}$ 작동 효과를 활용하면 작동기의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 미국 MIT에서 개발된 AFC와 NASA Langley 연구소 연구팀이 개발한 LaRC-MFC$^{TM}$는 d$_{33}$ 작동 효과를 활용하였으나 빗살형 전극이 작동층 상하 표면에 부착되어 있어 완전한 d$_{33}$ 작동 효과를 활용하였다고 볼 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 빗살형 전극을 세라믹 층간에 삽입한 적층형 세라믹 박판 작동층을 설계하고 제작하였다. 제작된 작동층의 작동 스트레인을 측정하였고 LaRC-MFC$^{TM}$의 작동 스트레인과 비교한 결과, 본 연구에서 개발한 박판 세라믹 작동층이 15% 이상의 작동 스트레인을 발생시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Piezoelectric properties of PMN-PZT ceramics with $CeO_2$ impurity were investigated. Mechanical quality factor, $Q_m$ of 1792, 1285 and the electromechanical coupling coefficient, $k_p$ of 0.52, 0.54 were obtained from the specimen with 0.25 and 0.5 mole % $CeO_2$ respectively. Curie temperature was decreased with the addition of $CeO_2$ while the electric coercive field was proportional to the amount of impurity. Based on the system ceramics with 0.5 mole % cerium oxide, a Rosen type piezoelectric transformer was fabricated and tested. Voltage step-up ratios of 230 and 13 were obtained from the transformer at no load and $100 k\Omega$ resistance, respectively. Experimental results showed a potential of the transformer for the practical use coupled with the expected strength increase by the grain size refinement.

1 mol% $Li_2O$ excess $0.9(Na_{0.52}K_{0.48})NbO_3-0.1LiTaO_3$ lead-free piezoelectric multilayer ceramic actuators were investigated to determine their aging properties. To reduce the thermal aging behavior, we applied a rectified unipolar electric field of 5 kV/mm to the specimen to accelerate the electric aging behavior. By employing a rectified unipolar electric field for the piezoelectric actuators, we could remove undesirable heating from the relaxation current in the motion of the ferroelectric domain. To accelerate the aging test, the applied electric fields had a frequency of 900 Hz. To have enough time for charging and discharging, we employed an accurate time constant to design the equivalent circuit model for the aging tester. To extract exact aging behavior, we measured the pseudo-piezoelectric coefficient before and after the aging process. We also measured the electro-mechanical coupling coefficient, the frequency-dependent dielectric permittivity, and the impedance to compare with fresh and aged specimen.

The pyroelectricity of poly(vinylidenefluoride) films prepared by varying the draw ratio and the poling field was investigated. As the draw ratio and the electric field on poling of the drawn samples increased, so did the pyroelectric coefficient. But the effect of electric field on the pyroelectricity was greater than that of draw ratio. The pyroelectric and piezoelectric activities could be explained by the polarization using the thermally stimulated current. The relation between pyroelectric coefficient and piezoelectric stress constant showed a good linearity.

In this thesis, piezoelectric properties and sintering properties of PCW-PNN-PZT+0.5 wt%$MnO_2$ ceramics adding $B_2O_3$ after creating the specimens with a general method. The lattice constant from the analysis of crystal structure showed that the crystal structure of ceramic features both rhombohdral and tetragonal structures and that the pychlore structure was decreased with the increase of the sintering temperature. The electromechanical coupling coefficient showed its maximum of 31 % in the sintered specimens at $1050^{\circ}C$, and its minimum of 20 % in the sintered specimens at $1150^{\circ}C$. The mechanical quality coefficient marked the maximum of 139 at the sintering temperature of $1150^{\circ}C$.

A multilayer piezoelectric transformer(MPT) for step-down voltage was made by ceramic stack process. And then, the characteristics of piezoelectric transformer, such as resonance frequency, matching impedance, electro-mechanical coupling coefficient, voltage gain, heat generation and efficiency, are analyzed.

The piezoelectric transformer, with a multilayered construction in the thickness direction, was formed with dimensions 15mm long, 15mm wide and 5mm thick.

In this study, the piezoelectric ceramics/polymer composite transducers with 1-3 connectivity have been studied. A piezoelectric ceramics PZT prepared by Wet-Dry Combination method was used as a filler in polymer matrix Eccogel. We've got the pulse-echo response for 1-3 type piezc-electric composite transducers in water. It was shown that the transmitting and receiving sensitivity of 1-3 type piezoelectric composite transducers could be improved in comparison with that- of solid PZT transducers. The reason is for that 1-3 type Piezoelectric composites have low dielectric constant and density. There was in a good agreement between the resonant frequencies calculated from one period and observed results on the Ultrasonic Transducer Analyzer. According to these results we could be figured out the distance in water by virture of the pulse-echo response.

In this paper, the anti-plane transient response of a central crack normal to the interface between a piezoelectric ceramics and two same elastic materials is considered. The assumed crack surfaces are permeable. By virtue of integral transform methods, the electro elastic mixed boundary problems are formulated as two set of dual integral equations, which, in turn, are reduced to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind in the Laplace transform domain. Time domain solutions are obtained by inverting Laplace domain solutions using a numerical scheme. Numerical values on the quasi-static stress intensity factor and the dynamic energy release rate are presented to show the dependences upon the geometry, material combination, electromechanical coupling coefficient and electric field.

The analysis of nonlinear equivalent circuit and the resonance characteristics of input current and output voltage were simulated, and their electrical properties are discussed in the transverse-type piezoelectric ceramic transformer. The nonlinear resonance characteristics of input current and output voltage showed by the thermal effect due to a higher driving current, the nonlinearity increased greatly as driving current increased. When load resistor was 100[M.ohm.], the nonlinear coefficient was -1.3. The nonlinear resonance curve of input current and output voltage for a variation of input voltage and load resistor agreed with the discussed theory. The output voltage increased nearly proportioned to input voltage when load resistors were below 50[M.ohm.], the voltage step-up ratio decreased when a load resistor was 100[M.ohm.] and their maximum value was 950.
