Effects of corner frequency on bandwidth and resonance amplitude in designing PZT thin-film actuators
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the last decade, lead zirconate titanate oxide (PZT) thin-film actuators have received increasing attention because of their high frequency bandwidth, large actuation strength, fast response, and small size. The PZT film thickness is usually less than several microns as opposed to hundreds of microns for bulk PZT patches that are commercially available. As a result, PZT thin-film actuators pose unique vibration issues that do not appear in actuators with bulk PZT. Two major issues affecting actuator performance are the frequency bandwidth and the resonance a n a d a t a w e r ©

PZT Thin-Film Meso- and Micro Devices
This paper consists of three major topics. The first topic is a review of challenges encountered in PZT thin film fabrication. Currently, sol-gel processing is one of the most promising techniques to fabricate PZT thin films. There are, however, several major challenges, including crack formation, thermally unstable electrodes, and poor piezoelectric properties. The second topic reveals some in...
متن کاملAnalysis of thin film piezoelectric microaccelerometer using analytical and finite element modeling
Microaccelerometers using piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films have attracted much interest due to their simple structure and potentially high sensitivity. In this paper, we present a theoretical model for a microaccelerometer with four suspended flexural PZT-on-silicon beams and a central proof mass configuration. The model takes into account the effect of device geometry and...
متن کاملLarge displacement vertical translational actuator based on piezoelectric thin films.
A novel vertical translational microactuator based on thin-film piezoelectric actuation is presented, using a set of four compound bend-up/bend-down unimorphs to produce translational motion of a moving platform or stage. The actuation material is a chemical-solution deposited lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) thin film. Prototype designs have shown as much as 120 μm of static displacement, with 80...
متن کاملSynthetic jets with piezoelectric diaphragms [5761-32]
Piezoelectric diaphragms are used as synthetic jets because of their size, rapid time response, and relatively low power consumption. Among the piezoelectric diaphragms used are unimorphs and Bimorphs. In this study, a bimorph diaphragm, a thin Unimorph pre-stressed device and a Radial Field Diaphragm (RFD) are compared. A bimorph consists of two bonded PZT discs, a thin Unimorph pre-stressed d...
