Piezoelectric Actuator and electrostrictive Actuator samples were fabricated using PMN-PT-PZ system ceramics with Barium substitution, and the strain properties of them investigated. The largest Piezoelectric coefficient and electromechanical coupling coefficient were observed at sintering temperature $1250^{\circ}C$, Barium 0.05 mol %. The strain of poled samples is observed twice highly then unpoled ones, and the former showed larger hysteresis in strain then the latter, too. Poled multilayered actuator samples showed considerable strain.

The solid solutions of the Pb(Sc$\_$0.5/Nb$\_$0.5/)$\_$0.57/Ti$\_$0.43/O$_3$ system were prepared. In the PSNT system, it had been known that two-phase region between the rhombohedral and tetragonal phases was observed between 0.425 of PT at room temperature. In this paper, Fe$_2$O$_3$-doped 0.57PSN-0.43PT composition was prepared by conventional method. The dielectric and strain properties were examined using an computerized measuring apparatus, and the resonance characteristics were measured using an impedance gain phase analyzer. We got the data of dielectric constant, dielectric loss, piezoelectric coefficient, piezoelectric voltage coefficient, frequency constant strain constant mechanical quality factor and electromechanical coupling factor.

In this paper, the piezoelectric and dielectric properties of $Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x)O_3$ - $Pb(Co_{1/3}Nb_{1/3})O_3)$ piezoelectric ceramics have been investigated as a function of Zr/Ti mole ratio. From the results, when Zr/Ti mole ratio is 49/51, electromechanical coupling coefficient($k_p$), piezoelectric strain constant($d_{33}$) mechanical quality factor($Q_m$), and Permittivity(${{\varepsilon}_{33}}^T/{\varepsilon}_0$) is 64[%], 469[PC/N], 360 and 2000, respectively. Morphotropic Phase Boundary is Zr/Ti mole ratio(49/51) from XRD analysis. Also. From SEM observation, when sintering temperature is 1150[$^{\circ}C$], grain size is about $1{\sim}2[{\mu}m]$ and maximum sintering density is 7.85[$g/cm^3$].

This paper gives characterization of substrate and PZT(53/47) thin film deposited by metalorganic decomposition, which is concerned in deposition process and device fabrication process, to fabricate micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) device with piezoelectric material. The PZT thin films deposited by MOD at 700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes had a polycrystallinity, that is, no substrate dependence, while different interface were developed depending on the bottom electrodes. Such a structural variation could influence on not only the properties of the PZT film but also etching process for fabricating MEMS devices. Therefore the electrode structure is a very important factor in the deposition of the PZT film during etching process by HF acid for MEMS device with piezoelectric material. Piezoelectric coefficients of the PZT films on the different substrates were 40 and 80 pm/V at an applied voltage of 4V. Based in these results, it was possible for deposition of the PZT film by MOD to apply MEMS device fabrication process based on piezoelectricity after selection of proper bottom electrode.

Recently, piezoelectric transformer is applied to wide fields. Multi layer piezoelectric transformer has the advantage of high step up ratio, high electromechanical coupling coefficient(Kp) and high mechanical quality factor(Qm), however it shows the peeling-phenomenon of electrode, and high price due to high sintering temperature. Therefore this study focus on the method for fabrication of high power rosen type piezoelectric transformers. The composition of $0.01Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3)O_3$ - 0.08Pb$(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$-0.91Pb$(Zr_{0.505}Ti_{0.495})O_3$(abbreviated as PNN-PMN-PZT) ceramics is employed for this study.

As a candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials, dense $(Na_xK_{0.94-x}Li_{0.06})NbO_3$ ceramics were developed by conventional sintering process. Sintering temperature was lowered by adding 1 mol% $Li_2O$ as a sintering aid. The electrical properties of $(Na_xK_{0.94-x}Li_{0.06})NbO_3$ ceramics were investigated as a function of Na/K ratio. When the sample sintered at $950^{\circ}C$ for 4 h with the compositions of morphotropic phase boundary, 0.47 < x < 0.51, electro-mechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) and piezoelectric coefficient ($d_{33}$) were found to reach the highest values of 0.42 and 190 pC/N, respectively. These excellent piezoelectric and electro-mechanical properties indicate that this system is potentially good candidate for lead-free material for a wide range of electro-mechanical transducer applications.

The existing piezoelectric spherical transducers with fixed prescribed dynamic characteristics limit their application in scenarios with multi-frequency or frequency variation requirement. To address this issue, this work proposes an improved design of piezoelectric spherical transducers using the resistance tuning method. Two piezoceramic shells are the functional elements with one for actuation and the other for tuning through the variation of load resistance. The theoretical model of the proposed design is given based on our previous work. The effects of the resistance, the middle surface radius and the thickness of the epoxy adhesive layer on the dynamic characteristics of the transducer are explored by numerical analysis. The numerical results show that the multi-frequency characteristics of the transducer can be obtained by tuning the resistance, and its electromechanical coupling coefficient can be optimized by a matching resistance. The proposed design and derived theoretical solution are validated by comparing with the literature given special examples as well as an experimental study. The present study demonstrates the feasibility of using the proposed design to realize the multi-frequency characteristics, which is helpful to improve the performance of piezoelectric spherical transducers used in underwater acoustic detection, hydrophones, and the spherical smart aggregate (SSA) used in civil structural health monitoring, enhancing their operation at the multiple working frequencies to meet different application requirements.

In general, tires require various sensors and power supply devices, such as batteries, to obtain information such as pressure, temperature, acceleration, and the friction coefficient between the tire and the road in real time. However, these sensors have a size limitation because they are mounted on a tire, and their batteries have limited usability due to short replacement cycles, leading to additional replacement costs. Therefore, vibration energy harvesting technology, which converts the dynamic strain energy generated from the tire into electrical energy and then stores the energy in a power supply, is advantageous. In this study, the output voltage and power generated from piezoelectric elements are predicted through finite element analysis under static state and transient state conditions, taking into account the dynamic characteristics of tires. First, the tire and piezoelectric elements are created as a finite element model and then the natural frequency and mode shapes are identified through modal analysis. Next, in the static state, with the piezoelectric element attached to the inside of the tire, the voltage distribution at the contact surface between the tire and the road is examined. Lastly, in the transient state, with the tire rotating at the speeds of 30 km/h and 50 km/h, the output voltage and power characteristics of the piezoelectric elements attached to four locations inside the tire are evaluated.
