Piezoelectric Resonators

Piezoelectric ceramics are inexpensive functional materials which are widely used in sonar detection, home appliances, meteorological detection, telemetry and environmental protection and other applications. Sensors fabricated from these materials are compact and have fast response characteristics. Their underlying functional methodology is based on the direct piezoelectric effect whereby very small mechanical vibration signals are converted into electrical signals. Piezoelectric resonators are based on the reverse piezoelectric effect and they are widely used for the control of precision instruments and precision machinery, microelectronic components, bioengineering devices and other in applications requiring components to provide precision control of the relevant functional mechanism. In this paper, the structural evolution and design mechanism of sandwich resonators based on piezoelectric materials are reviewed, and the advantages and disadvantages of different structures are compared and analyzed. The goal is to provide a comprehensive reference for the selection, application and promotion of piezoelectric resonators and for future structural innovation and mechanism research relevant to sandwich resonators.

This article presents the development of a visual-servo filming robot for dolly & truck style camera movement in filming applications. The robot was implemented with a fast-response slider as the upper stage on top of the slow-response tracked robot body as the lower stage, to improve target tracking performance. A new switching controller was developed, which controlled the stages’ motions by balancing and adjusting the weights of vision error and slider’s noncentering error of the upper stage, thus achieving tracking performance better than the traditional master–slave control strategy. The simulations were carried out to evaluate the tracking performance of the model, particularly focusing on evaluating how the dual stage improves the overall response of the model. The similar evaluation was executed experimentally as well. Both results confirm that the fast-response characteristics of the upper stage can compensate the slow dynamics of lower stage, the tracked robot which is inevitably heavy due to its composition.

Structural Health

With the rapid development of the world’s transportation infrastructure, many long-span bridges were constructed in recent years, especially in China. However, these bridges are easily subjected to various damages due to dynamic loads (such as wind-, earthquake-, and vehicle-induced vibration) or environmental factors (such as corrosion). Therefore, structural health monitoring (SHM) is vital to guarantee the safety of bridges in their service lives. With its wide frequency response range, fast response, simple preparation process, ease of processing, low cost, and other advantages, the piezoelectric transducer is commonly employed for the SHM of bridges. This paper summarizes the application of piezoelectric materials for the SHM of bridges, including the monitoring of the concrete strength, bolt looseness, steel corrosion, and grouting density. For each problem, the application of piezoelectric materials in different research methods is described. The related data processing methods for four types of bridge detection are briefly summarized, and the principles of each method in practical application are listed. Finally, issues to be studied when using piezoelectric materials for monitoring are discussed, and future application prospects and development directions are presented.

AbstractMechanical vibration, as an alternative of application of solid/liquid lubricants, has been an effective means to modulate friction at the macroscale. Recently, atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments and model simulations also suggest a similar vibration-induced friction reduction effect for nanoscale contact interfaces, although an additional external vibration source is typically needed to excite the system. Here, by introducing a piezoelectric thin film along the contact interface, we demonstrate that friction measured by a conductive AFM probe can be significantly reduced (more than 70%) when an alternating current (AC) voltage is applied. Such real-time friction modulation is achieved owing to the localized nanoscale vibration originating from the intrinsic inverse piezoelectric effect, and is applicable for various material combinations. Assisted by analysis with the Prandtl—Tomlinson (P—T) friction model, our experimental results suggest that there exists an approximately linear correlation between the vibrational amplitude and the relative factor for perturbation of sliding energy corrugation. This work offers a viable strategy for realizing active friction modulation for small-scale interfaces without the need of additional vibration source or global excitation that may adversely impact device functionalities.

Direct Piezoelectric Effect

In force measurement applications, a piezoelectric force sensor is one of the most popular sensors due to its advantages of low cost, linear response, and high sensitivity. Piezoelectric sensors effectively convert dynamic forces to electrical signals by the direct piezoelectric effect, but their use has been limited in measuring static forces due to the easily neutralized surface charge. To overcome this shortcoming, several static (either pure static or quasistatic) force sensing techniques using piezoelectric materials have been developed utilizing several unique parameters rather than just the surface charge produced by an applied force. The parameters for static force measurement include the resonance frequency, electrical impedance, decay time constant, and capacitance. In this review, we discuss the detailed mechanism of these piezoelectric-type, static force sensing methods that use more than the direct piezoelectric effect. We also highlight the challenges and potentials of each method for static force sensing applications.

Piezoelectric Performance

Abstract Polymer-based piezoelectric devices are promising for developing future wearable force sensors, nanogenerators, and implantable electronics etc. The electric signals generated by them are often assumed as solely coming from piezoelectric effect. However, triboelectric signals originated from contact electrification between the piezoelectric devices and the contacted objects can produce non-negligible interfacial electron transfer, which is often combined with the piezoelectric signal to give a triboelectric-piezoelectric hybrid output, leading to an exaggerated measured “piezoelectric” signal. Herein, a simple and effective method is proposed for quantitatively identifying and extracting the piezoelectric charge from the hybrid signal. The triboelectric and piezoelectric parts in the hybrid signal generated by a poly(vinylidene fluoride)-based device are clearly differentiated, and their force and charge characteristics in the time domain are identified. This work presents an effective method to elucidate the true piezoelectric performance in practical measurement, which is crucial for evaluating piezoelectric materials fairly and correctly.

A nanocomposite of cross-linked bacterial cellulose–amino graphene/polyaniline (CLBC-AmG/PANI) was synthesized by covalent interaction of amino-functionalized graphene (AmG) AmG and bacterial cellulose (BC) via one step esterification, and then the aniline monomer was grown on the surface of CLBC-AmG through in situ chemical polymerization. The morphological structure and properties of the samples were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA). The CLBC-AmG/PANI showed good electrical-resistance response toward carbon dioxide (CO2) at room temperature, compared to the BC/PANI nanopaper composites. The CLBC-AmG/PANI sensor possesses high sensitivity and fast response characteristics over CO2 concentrations ranging from 50 to 2000 ppm. This process presents an extremely suitable candidate for developing novel nanomaterials sensors owing to easy fabrication and efficient sensing performance.
