Periodic and non-periodic 1-3 type cement based piezoelectric composites were fabricated by cut and filling technique, using P(MN)ZT ceramic as functional material and cement as matrix. The influences of periodicity of piezoelectric ceramic rods in the composites on electrical properties of all the composites were discussed. The results show that the non-periodic composites have larger dielectric factor and piezoelectric strain constant than those of the periodic composite. The impedance-frequency spectra analysis indicates that the non-periodic arrangement of ceramic rods can effectively restrict the lateral structural mode of the composite, accordingly reduces the coupling resonant between the thickness resonant mode and lateral resonant mode. The thickness electromechanical coupling coefficient of non-periodic composites is larger than that of the periodic composite. With increasing the non-periodic level of P(MN)ZT ceramic in the composites, the mechanical quality factor of the composites increases gradually. Therefore, 1-3 type cement based piezoelectric composites with different special abilities can be obtained by varying the periodic arrangement of P(MN)ZT ceramic rods in the composites.

A barium ferrite modified 0–3 cement-based piezoelectric composite was fabricated with piezoelectric ceramic [0.08Pb(Li1/4Nb3/4)O•0.47PbTiO3•0.45PbZrO3], sulphoaluminate cement and barium ferrite by compressing technique. It is well known that in the process of making piezoelectric composites,polarization is very critical, which is the process of domain structure's motion and development in a piezoelectric composites. Without the polarization, the composites will have no piezoelectric properties. So the influences of poling temperature on the piezoelectric and dielectric properties, electromechanical coupling property and acoustic impedance were investigated. And the poling temperature were selected at 30°C、50°C and 80°C. The results showed that the optimum poling temperature were 80°C.

The radial vibration of a radial composite tubular transducer with a large radiation range and power capacity is studied. The transducer is composed of a longitudinally polarized piezoelectric ceramic tube and a coaxial outer metal tube. Assuming that the longitudinal length is much larger than the radius, the electromechanical equivalent circuits of the radial vibration of a piezoelectric ceramic long tube and a metal long tube are derived and obtained for the first time following the plane strain theory. As per the condition of the continuous forces and displacements of two contact surfaces, the electromechanical equivalent circuit of the tubular transducer is obtained. The radial resonance/anti-resonance frequency equation and the expression of the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient are obtained. Then, the effects of the radial geometry dimension of the transducer on the vibration characteristics are analyzed. The theoretical resonance frequencies, anti-resonance frequencies, and the effective electromechanical coupling coefficients at the fundamental mode and the second mode are in good agreement with the finite element analysis (FEA) results. The study shows that when the overall size of the transducer is unchanged, as the proportion of piezoelectric ceramic increases, the radial resonance/anti-resonance frequency and the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient of the transducer at the fundamental mode and the second mode have certain characteristics. The radial composite tubular transducer is expected to be used in high-power ultrasonic wastewater treatment, ultrasonic degradation, and underwater acoustics, as well as other high-power ultrasonic fields.

In this study, we investigate the piezoelectric characteristics of 0.55Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.45Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PNN-PZT) with MnO2 additive (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mol%). We focus on the fabrication of a piezoelectric ceramic for use as both actuator and sensor for ultrasound transducers. The actuator and sensor properties of a piezoelectric ceramic depend on the piezoelectric strain coefficient d and piezoelectric voltage coefficient g, related as g = d/εT. To increase g, the dielectric constant εT must be decreased. PNN-PZT with MnO2 doping is synthesized using the conventional solid-state reaction method. The electrical properties are determined based on the resonant frequencies and vibration modes measured by using an impedance analyzer. The MnO2 addition initially improves the tetragonality of the PNN-PZT ceramic, which then saturates at a MnO2 content of 1 mol%. Therefore, the dielectric constant and piezoelectric coefficient d33 steadily decrease, while the mechanical properties (Qm, Young’s modulus), tanδ, electromechanical coupling coefficient k, and piezoelectric voltage coefficient g were improved at 0.5–1 mol% MnO2 content.

In order to increase piezoelectric properties of 0-3 type cement piezoelectric composites (piezoelectric cement) developed for structural health monitoring, nano-quartz powders, as the replacement of cement matrix, were added into PZT/cement composites. The piezoelectric cement consists of 50% PZT and 50% cement by volume. Two gradations of PZT inclusions, single-grading and medium-grading, were chosen to fabricate the piezoelectric cement. Nano-quartz powders of 1% to 6% were added to form nano-quartz piezoelectric cement. Experimental results indicate that nano-quartz powders can reduce the porosity of piezoelectric cement. The single-grading piezoelectric cement (PSQ) with 4% nano-quartz powders and the medium-grading one (PMQ) with 2% have the lowest porosity. The maximum values on both piezoelectric strain factor d33 and relative dielectric constant εr always occur at the minimum porosity of nano-quartz piezoelectric cement. Both the PSQ and the PMQ have the optimum d33=104 pC/N. For the PSQ, 4% nano-quartz powders provide a 22% enhancement on thickness electromechanical coupling coefficient Kt. However, the effect of nano-quartz powders displays as less effective to the Kt of the PMQ due to non-uniform distribution of PZT particles. Nano-quartz piezoelectric cement has higher piezoelectric properties able to monitor and detect concrete structural health.

Sulphoaluminate cement and Lead Niobium-Magnesium Zirconate Titanate ceramic [P(MN)]ZT were used as matrix and functional phase respectively to fabricate 1-3-2 cement-based piezoelectric composites by dice and filling technique. The influences of base thickness on piezoelectric properties, electromechanical properties and acoustic impedance properties of the composites were discussed. The results show that as the base thickness increases, the piezoelectric stain factor d33 increases gradually, while the piezoelectric voltage factor g33 decreases. The planar electromechanical coupling coefficient Kp exhibits the trend of decrease, while the thickness electromechanical coupling coefficient Kt and acoustic impedance show the increasing trend. The mechanical quality factor Qm reaches the minimum (1.49) when base thickness is 2.00 mm. The results reveal that the 1-3-2 piezoelectric composite will be suitable for application by changing the base thickness.

A novel metrics termed the ‘wave electromechanical coupling factor’ (WEMCF) is proposed in this paper, to quantify the coupling strength between the mechanical and electric fields during the passage of a wave in piezoelectric composites. Two definitions of WEMCF are proposed, leading to a frequency formula and two energy formulas for the calculation of such a factor. The frequency formula is naturally consistent with the conventional modal electromechanical coupling factor (MEMCF) but the implementation is difficult. The energy formulas do not need the complicated wave matching required in the frequency formula, therefore are suitable for computing. We demonstrated that the WEMCF based on the energy formula is consistent with the MEMCF, provided that an appropriate indicator is chosen for the electric energy. In this way, both the theoretical closure and the computational feasibility are achieved. A numerical tool based on the wave and finite element method (WFEM) is developed to implement the energy formulas, and it allows the calculation of WEMCF for complex one-dimensional piezoelectric composites. A reduced model is proposed to accelerate the computing of the wave modes and the energies. The analytical findings and the reduced model are numerically validated against two piezoelectric composites with different complexity. Eventually an application is given, concerning the use of the shunted piezoelectric composite for vibration isolation. A strong correlation among the WEMCF, the geometric parameters and the energy transmission loss are observed. These results confirm that the proposed WEMCF captures the physics of the electromechanical coupling phenomenon associated with the guided waves, and can be used to understand, evaluate and design the piezoelectric composites for a variety of applications.
