Piezoelectric Materials
Dr. Mohammad Tawfik
What is Piezoelectric Material?
• Piezoelectric Material is one that possesses the property of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa.
Piezoelectric Materials
• Mechanical Stresses Electrical Potential Field : Sensor (Direct Effect)
• Electric Field Mechanical Strain : Actuator (Converse Effect)
Clark, Sounders, Gibbs, 1998
Conventional Setting
Conductive Pole
Piezoelectric Sensor
• When mechanical stresses are applied on the surface, electric charges are generated (sensor, direct effect).
• If those charges are collected on a conductor that is connected to a circuit, current is generated
Piezoelectric Actuator
• When electric potential (voltage) is applied to the surface of the piezoelectric material, mechanical strain is generated (actuator).
• If the piezoelectric material is bonded to a surface of a structure, it forces the structure to move with it.

Modeling of Piezoelectric Structures
Constitutive Relations
• The piezoelectric effect appears in the stress strain relations of the piezoelectric material in the form of an extra electric term
• Similarly, the mechanical effect appears in the electric relations EdD

Constitutive Relations
• ‘S’ (capital s) is the strain
• ‘T’ is the stress (N/m2)
• ‘E’ is the electric field (Volt/m)
• ‘s’ (small s) is the compliance; 1/stiffness (m2/N)
• ‘D’ is the electric displacement, charge per unit area (Coulomb/m2)
The Electromechanical Coupling
• Electric permittivity (Farade/m) or (Coulomb/mV)
• d31 is called the electromechanical coupling factor (m/Volt)

• The electric displacement is
the charge per unit area:
• The rate of change of the
charge is the current:
• The electric field is the

The electromechanical coupling factor
• Introducing the factor ‘k’:
• ‘k’ is called the electromechanical coupling factor (coefficient)
• ‘k’ presents the ratio between the mechanical energy and the electrical energy stored in the piezoelectric material.
• For the k13, the best conditions will give a value of 0.4

Different Conditions
• With open circuit conditions, the stiffness of the piezoelectric material appears to be higher (less compliance)
• While for short circuit conditions, the stiffness appears to be lower (more compliance)

Different Conditions
• Similar results could be obtained for the electric properties; electric properties are affected by the mechanical boundary conditions.

Actuation Action
• PZT and structure are assumed to be in perfect bonding
Axial Motion of Rods
• In this case, we will consider the case when the PZT and the structure are deforming axially only
Zero Voltage case
• If the structure is subject to axial force only, we get:
• And for the equilibrium:
