| Piezoelectric elements are used as actuators and sensors, as well as oscillator
circuits and filter circuits in the analog electronic circuits. When the
electric potential is applied, the piezoelectric element is deformed. This
is called the converse piezoelectric effect. In JMAG, the analysis of the
piezoelectric actuator using the converse piezoelectric effect can be performed
by specifying the permittivity matrix and the electric potential for the
material. This note presents the use of structural analysis to evaluate
the displacement of a bimorph piezoelectric actuator, caused by the inverse
piezoelectric effect. |
