Analytical Modelling and Non-linear Characterisation of Piezoelectric Materials for Actuation and Vibration Control of Beams
(2018-08-29)The use of piezoelectric materials for actuation, and vibration suppression of thin beams, is the subject of study in this doctoral thesis. The initial focus is set on reducing beam vibrations with resistively shunted ... -
Insights into the Influence of Electric Field on the Structural Evolution and its Correlation with the Properties in the Lead-based BiScO3-PbTiO3 and the Lead-free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 based Piezoceramics
Advanced piezoelectric ceramics are widely used as piezoelectric sensors, transducers, actuators, etc. Among the commercially viable piezoelectric systems, lead zirconate titanate, PbZr1-XTiXO3 (PZT) has dominated the ... -
Novel Phenomena Associated With Giant Tetragonality in the Ferroelectric BiFeO3-PbTiO3 System
The multiferroic perovskite solid solution xBiFeO3-(1-x)PbTiO3 (BF-PT) exhibits very unique features such as giant tetragonality (c/a ~ 1.19), coexistence of ferroelectric and magnetic order (in certain composition range) ...
