Piezoelectric Effect

• Piezoelectric behaviour can be manifested in two distinct


ways.
• ‘direct’ piezoelectric effect
• ‘converse’ piezoelectric effect

Piezoelectric Materials

Direct Piezoelectric Effect

• ‘Direct’ piezoelectric effect occurs when a piezoelectric


material becomes electrically charged when subjected to a
mechanical stress.
• These devices can be used to detect strain, movement,
force, pressure or vibration by developing appropriate
electrical responses, as in the case of force and acoustic
or ultrasonic sensors.

Converse Piezoelectric Effect

• ‘Converse’ piezoelectric effect occurs when the


piezoelectric material becomes strained when placed in an
electric field.
• This property can be used to generate strain, movement,
force, pressure or vibration through the application of
suitable electric field.

the material dimensions change in all three axes
under stress-free conditions. The d constant
also expresses the amount of charge developed
relative to the stress applied along a specific axis.

Piezoelectric Composites

Piezoelectric composites consist of a


ceramic material embedded in a polymer
matrix with a certain connectivity known
as 1-3 connectivity pattern. These
elements offer several advantages over
single-phase (monolithic) piezoelectric
materials for such applications as
hydrophones and transducers. While not a flexible element, they can
be cut to very thin dimensions.

Piezoelectric Relations

The electrical condition of an unstressed medium under


the influence of an electric field is defined by two
quantities - the field strength E and their dielectric
displacement D. These two are related by the equation:
D=εE
where ε is the permittivity of the medium.

Sensor Technology Limited


38
Piezoelectric Materials

Piezoelectric Relations

The mechanical condition of the same medium at zero


electric field strength can be defined by two mechanical
quantities - applied stress T and strain S.
S = sT
where s is the compliance of the medium.

Sensor Technology Limited


39
Piezoelectric Materials

Piezoelectric Relations

Piezoelectricity involves the interaction between the


electrical and mechanical behaviour of the medium, and
the interaction can be described by linear relationships
between these two.
S = sE T + dE
D = dT + εT E

Piezoelectric Materials

Principles of Application

1. Energy Conversion Mechanism


An externally applied electric field causes a change in the
dielectric polarization in the material which in turn causes
an elastic strain. The generating action takes place when
an elastic strain causes a change in the polarization that
induces a charge on the electrodes.

Principles of Application

2. Transducer Operating Environment


The acoustic properties of the medium (air, water or ice)
are very important in the design of transducers.
Transducers must also withstand the severe effects of
sea water, biological activity, hydrostatic pressure, and
extreme temperature conditions.

Principles of Application

3. Conversion Criteria
The following are the general performance criteria for the transducers.
• Linearity. The output of the transducer is a linear function of the
input.
• Reversibility. The transducer must convert energy in either direction.
• Passivity. All the output energy from the transducer is obtained from
the input energy - electrical or acoustical.
