Compared to the probe based on conventional piezoelectric ceramic, the high-performance ultrasonic probe made from polymer composite materials is much better, which has characteristics such as high sensitivity, wide bandwidth and good directional. And probe’s thickness electromechanical coupling coefficient KT value is up to 68%, which means it can reduce the crosstalk effectively to the phased array probe. In industrial, due to its high bandwidth, it has obvious advantages when used in coarse-grained materials testing and high-precision thickness measurement. In the medical field, ultrasound will reflex significantly at the impurities or the interfaces, and produce the Doppler effect in the flow of blood. Based on the sound field distribution comparative study of polymer materials ultrasonic probe chip, this paper proposed some polymer new applications in ultrasonic testing field.

This paper studied the manufacturing process of Piezoelectric-on-Silicon (POS) substrate which integrates 128° Y–X Lithium niobate thin film and silicon wafer using Smart-Cut technology. The blistering and exfoliation processes of the He as-implanted LN crystal under different annealing temperatures are observed by the in-situ method. Unlike the conventional polishing process, the stripping mechanism of the Lithium niobate thin film is changed by controlling annealing temperature, which can improve the surface morphology of the peeling lithium niobate thin film. We prepared the 128° Y–X POS substrate with high single-crystal Lithium niobate thin film and surface roughness of 3.91 nm through Benzocyclobutene bonding. After simulating the surface acoustic wave (SAW) characteristics of the POS substrate, the results demonstrate that the Benzocyclobutene layer not only performs as a bonding layer but also can couple more vibrations into the LN thin film. The electromechanical coupling coefficient of the POS substrate is up to 7.59% in the Rayleigh mode when hLN/λ is 0.3 and hBCB/λ is 0.1. Therefore, as a high-performance substrate material, the POS substrate has proved to be an efficient method to miniaturize and integrate the SAW sensor.

Abstract This work describes a theoretical study of the pressure effect in structural, elastic, piezoelectric and dielectric properties as well as electromechanical coupling factors of wurtzite AlN, obtained by ab-initio calculations using pseudo-potential plane waves (PP-PW) that combine the density functional theory (DFT) and density functional perturbation theory (DFPT). The results of the calculation indicate that the parameters of AlN crystal cells and the volume of AlN crystallin crystal cells decrease notably with increasing pressures from 0 to 40 GPa. Due to an increase in the value of the direct piezoelectric constant ( Tand a decrease in the value of the elastic constant (h), there is a significant improvement in the value of the converse piezoelectric constant (i). The improvement in the piezoelectric value leads to a higher value in electromechanical coupling coefficient. Our results agree well with previous theoretical and experimental research. We hope that our results will provide guidelines for the realistic application as well as further research of high-performance compounds appropriate for applications in a multitude of fields of study, such as biomedical engineering.

Manufacturing Quality

The stringer-stiffened structure is widely used due to its excellent mechanical properties. Improving the manufacturing quality of stringer-stiffened structure which have complex geometry is important to ensure the bearing capacity of aviation components. Herein, composite hat-stiffened composite structures were manufactured by different filling forms and bladders with various properties, the deformation of silicone rubber bladder in co-curing process was studied by using the finite element method. The thickness measurement at different positions of the hat-stiffened structure was performed to determine the best filling form and bladder property. Moreover, in view of the detection difficulties in R-zone of stringer, numerical simulation was performed to get the sound pressure and impulse response of at the R-zone of stringer by Rayleigh integration method, and an effective equipment which could stably detect the manufacturing quality of R-zone was designed to verify the correctness of sound field simulation and realize the detection of stringer. With the optimum filling form and bladder properties, hat-stiffened composites can be manufactured integrally with improved surface quality and geometric accuracy, based on co-curing process.

In this study, piezoelectric zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film was deposited on the Pt/Ti/SiNx/Si substrate to construct the FBAR device. The Pt/Ti multilayers were deposited on SiNx/Si as the bottom electrode and the Al thin film was deposited on the ZnO piezoelectric layer as the top electrode by a DC sputtering system. The ZnO thin film was deposited onto the Pt thin film by a radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering system. The cavity on back side for acoustic reflection of the FBAR device was achieved by KOH solution and reactive ion etching (RIE) processes. The crystalline structures and surface morphologies of the films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The optimized as-deposited ZnO thin films with preferred (002)-orientation were obtained under the sputtering power of 80 W and sputtering pressure of 20 mTorr. The crystalline characteristics of ZnO thin films and the frequency responses of the FBAR devices can be improved by using the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process. The optimized annealing temperature and annealing time are 400 °C and 10 min, respectively. Finally, the FBAR devices with structure of Al/ZnO/Pt/Ti/SiNx/Si were fabricated. The frequency responses showed that the return loss of the FBAR device with RTA annealing was improved from −24.07 to −34.66 dB, and the electromechanical coupling coefficient (kt2) was improved from 1.73% to 3.02% with the resonance frequency of around 3.4 GHz.

High-performance concrete (HPC) is subjected to wide attention in current research. Many research tasks are focused on laboratory testing of concrete mechanical properties with specific raw materials, where a mixture is prepared in a relatively small amount in ideal conditions. The wider utilization of HPC is connected, among other things, with its utilization in the construction industry. The paper presents two variants of HPC which were developed by modification of ordinary concrete used by a precast company for pretensioned bridge beams. The presented variants were produced in industrial conditions using common raw materials. Testing and comparison of basic mechanical properties are complemented with specialized tests of the resistance to chloride penetration. Tentative expenses for normal strength concrete (NSC) and HPC are compared. The research program was accomplished with a loading test of model experimental pretensioned beams with a length of 7 m made of ordinarily used concrete and one variant of HPC. The aim of the loading test was to determine the load–deformation diagrams and verify the design code load capacity calculation method. Overall, the article summarizes the possible benefits of using HPC compared to conventional concrete.

The modified behavior of the phase transition temperatures (TO-T and/or TC) between orthorhombic (O), tetragonal (T) and cubic (C) that caused by doping Sb5+ in (Li0.052Na0.493K0.455)(Nb1-xSbx)O3 (LNKNSx) ceramics was reported in the present investigation. The results show that differing from the insensitive TO-T to the Sb5+ content, TC splits into two peaks TCI and TCII when doping Sb5+. The decreased TCI by raising x may be ascribed to the Sb-rich grains and the settled TCII round 480 °C resulting from the Sb-lack ones. The enhanced piezoelectric coefficient d33 value of 263 pC/N and planar mode electromechanical coupling coefficient kp value of 42.5% at x=0.052 can be attributed to the polymorphic phase boundary (PPB) behavior with an appropriate ratio between T and O phases without any second phase.

The Relationship

In this paper, the effects of different sintering temperature on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3(PNZZT) ceramic samples were investigated. The Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 ceramics materials was prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. In the period of the experiment, the relationship between crystallographic phase and microstructure were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) respectively. The XRD patterns shows that all of the ceramic samples are with a tetragonal perovskite structure. Along with sintering temperature increased and the x is 0.03, the grain size gradually become big. Through this experiment, it has been found that when the x is 0.03 and sintered at 1130°C for 2 h, the grains grow well, the grain-boundary intersection of the sample combined well and the porosity of the ceramics decreased, an excellent comprehensive electrical properties of the Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 samples can be obtained. Its best electrical properties are as follows: dielectric constant (ε) is 1105, dielectric loss(tg) is 0.017, electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kp) is 0.287, piezoelectric constant(d33) is 150PC/N
