ZnO nanowires were grown by hydrothermal synthesis process and piezoelectric poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was then coated on top of the ZnO-nanowires by spray-coating technique. The composite layer of ZnO-nanowires/PVDF was applied to an energy harvesting device based on piezoelectric-conversion mechanism. A defined mechanical force was given to the nanogenerator device to evaluate their electric power generation characteristics, where output current density and voltage were examined. Electric power generation property of the ZnO-nanowires/PVDF based nanogenerator device was compared to that of the nanogenerator device with ZnO-nanowires as single active layer. Effect of the ZnO-nanowires on improvement of power generation was discussed to examine its feasibility for the nanogenerator device.

This paper presents modal characteristics of bowl parts feeder featuring piezoelectric actuators. As wellknown, the piezoelectric materials develop an electric charge proportional to a mechanical stress and vice versa. This generic phenomenon allows us to use the piezoelectric materials as sensors and actuators. Using the actuating property, we can device effective bowl parts feeder. The parts feeder activated by the piezoceramic actuators provides a large degree of freedom of controlling excitation magnitude and frequency, and thus accurate and fast feeding of various parts. As a first phase to demonstrate these advantages, a finite clement model of the bowl parts feeder is constructed and analyzed using commercial software packages. In addition, the simulated modal characteristics are compared with the measured ones to validate the proposed model.

Cellulose based electro-active paper(EAPap) is considered as a new smart material which has a potential to be used for biomimetic actuators and sensors. Beside of the natural abundance, cellulose EAPap is fascinating with its biodegradability, lightweight, high mechanical strength and low actuation voltage. When the external stress is applied to EAPap, it can generate the electrical output due to its piezoelectric property. Using piezoelectric behavior of EAPap, we studied the feasibility of EAPap as mechanical strain sensor applications and compared to commercial strain sensor. By measuring the induced output voltage from the thin piezoelectric cellulose EAPap under static and dynamic force, we propose cellulose EAPap film as a potential strain sensor material.

The aim of this study was to investigate the change in compressive strength, freacture behavior and degradation of piezoelectric properties with compressive cyclic loading in Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 of tetragonal, morphotropic phase boundary and rhombohedral composition. The highest compressive strength was found in rhombohedral composition. After poling treatment the strength increased by 8.4% and 6.5% in tetragonal and morphotropic phase boundary compositions respectively while changed little in rhombohedral. The increase of compressive strength after poling treatment is believed to be due to the internal stress around grain boundary by domain alginment toward electric field direction in the microstructures having tetragonality and the occurrence of domain switching to the direction perpendicular to electrical field during fracture. Fracture mode relatively change from transgranular to intergranular was observed in the large grain sized tetragonal and morphotropic phase boundary compositions before and after poling but the transgranular fracture mode always remained in the rhombohedral composition. From the X-ray diffractometer analysis the domains parallel to the electric field direction is known to undergo rearrangement during the cyclic loading into random direction that is responsible for the degradation of piezoelectric property.

An anisotropic ultrasonic transducer is proposed for Lamb wave applications, such as passive damage or impact localization based on ultrasonic guided wave theory. This transducer is made from a PMNPT single crystal, and has different piezoelectric coefficients $d_{31}$ and $d_{32}$, which are the same for the conventional piezoelectric materials, such as Lead zirconate titanate (PZT). Different piezoelectric coefficients result in directionality of guided wave generated by this transducer, in other words, it is an anisotropic ultrasonic transducer. And thus, it has different sensitivity in comparison with conventional ultrasonic transducer. The anisotropic one can provide more information related to the direction when it is used as sensors. This paper first shows its detailed properties, including analytical formulae and finite elements simulations. Then, its application is described.

In this study, we investigated amounts, distributions and sizes of pores of multilayer piezoelectric transformer, and predicted heat emission property and electrical characteristics according to designs of internal electrode. Forming densities of device having MLC, fingered and full filled internal electrode structure were 4.73 g/㎤, 4.80 g/㎤, 4.82 g/㎤ and forming porosities were 17.3737%, 13.1475%, 12.6121%, respectively. And sintered densities of MLC structured, fingered and full filled devices were 7.76 g/㎤, 7.75 g/㎤, 7.84 g/㎤ and sintered porosities were 4.0967%, 2.7132%, 2.5317%, respectively. Therefore, we concluded that fingered and full fi1led internal electrode devices, expecially, fingered internal electrode devices had cost-effective effect and maximum poling effect due to higher sintered density and lower porosity than MLC structured device. Also we can predict that they have an effect on good heat emission and high output properties of multilayer piezoelectric transformer.

FBAR(Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) 소자의 공진특성을 결정하는 가장 중요한 요소는 압전막의 압전성을 들 수 있다. FBAR 압전막으로 유력한 ZnO 압전박막은 (002)면 c-축 우선배향성(preferred orientation)의 정도에 따라서 압전성이 결정된다. 그러므로 ZnO 박막의 우선배향성에 관한 연구는 많은 연구자들의 관심사가 되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 ZnO 보조씨드충(helped seed layer)을 이용하여 ZnO 압전박막의 우선배향성에 대하여 조사하였으며, rocking curve의 표준편차$(\sigma)$ 값이 $1.15^{\circ}$인 주상형 결정립을 가진 c-축 ZnO 압전박막이 우수한 압전특성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

MPB조성영역에 MnO2를 첨가한 압전체를 제조하여 분극처리후에 반복압축응력을 부여함에 따른 압전열화 현상을 조사하고 분극처리 전후의 굽힘강도의 변화 및 파괴특성을 연구하였다. MnO2를 0.25wt.% 첨가한 시편에서 가장 적은 열화현상이 일어났다. 굽힘강도는 분극처리 후 하중방향에 평행한 방향으로 분극처리한 시편이 분극처리 전보다 높은 강도를 나타내었고, 수직한 방향으로 분극처리한 시편은 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 이는 분극처리시 발생하는 전계방향으로 압축잔류응력, 직각방향으로 인장잔류응력 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 rf reactive magnetron sputtering 방법으로 증착한 ZnO 박막을 압전진동 자로 제작하였을 때 발생하는 금속전극과의 계면특성에 대해 조사하였다. 이때 ZnO 박막은 금속 아연 target을 산소분위기에서 sputtering하여 얻었다. 미리 얻은 최적성장조건으로 Cr/ZnO/Cr의 구조을 갖는 압전 진동자를 제작한 후, 금속전극과 ZnO 박막과의 계면특성을 분석하였다. 제작된 압전진동자는 I-V 측정, AES depth profile, SEM, C-V 측정등을 이용 하여 분석하였고, 이러한 분석 결과 금속전극과 ZnO 박막 사이에 $SiO_2$ 확산방지막을 쌓은 Cr/ $SiO_2$/ZnO/Cr의 구조로 ZnO 압전진동자를 제작했을 때 좋은 특성을 보임을 알 수 있었 다. 그리고, 이러한 사실은 제작된 진동자를 구동시키고 이에 대한 인가진동수에 따른 진동 변위를 측정해보므로써 확인할 수 있었다.

The problem considered in this paper is about the collocation of sensor and actuator for the active control of sound and vibration. It is well-known that a point collocated sensor-actuator pair offers an unconditional stability with very high performance when it is used with a direct velocity feedback (DVFB) control, because the pair has strictly positive real (SPR) property. In order to utilize this SPR characteristics, a matched piezoelectric sensor and actuator pair is considered. but this pair suffers from the in-plane motion coupling problem with the out-of-plane motion due to the piezo sensor and actuator interaction. This coupling phnomenon limits the stability and performance of the matched pair with DVFBcontrol. As a new alternative, a point sensor and distributed piezoelectric actuator pair is also considered, which provides SPR property in all frequency range when the pair is implemented on a clamped-clapmed beam. The use of this sensor-actuator pair is highly expected for the applications to more practical active control of sound and vibration systems with the DVFB control strategy.
