Investigation the Dimensional Ratio Effect on the Resonant Properties of Piezoelectric Ceramic Disk

Abstract

In this work, the vibration characteristics of a piezoelectric ceramic disk with different dimensional ratio are studied by simulation method. Computational finite element modeling combined with the computational programs has allowed for the prediction of the effect, the change of diameter-to-thickness ratio on the resonant characteristics, the vibration modes as well as comparing the physic properties of piezoceramics. Three types of piezoelectric materials were chosen, piezoelectric materials (PZT) and Pb-free piezoelectric materials Ba(Zr 0.2 Ti 0.8)O 3 -50(Ba 0.7 Ca 0.3)TiO 3 (BZT-50BCT), BaTiO 3 for research.
