Foreword

The rise of piezoelectric materials as sensors and actuators in engineering systems got started around 1980 and began to make an impact in the world of vibrations about five years after that. Subsequently, it started to explode into the 90s with topics such shunt damping, active control, structural health monitoring and energy harvesting.  As a result, the need to document the fundamentals and intricacies of modeling piezoelectric materials in the context of vibrations in book form will well serve a variation of communities.  The presentation here puts the topic on a firm mathematical footing.

The authors are uniquely qualified to provide a sophisticated analytical framework with an eye for applications. Professor Kurdila has nearly four decades of experience in modeling of multi‐physics systems. He authored two other books, one on structural dynamics, and several research monographs. Professor Tarazaga is an experienced creator of piezoelectric solutions to vibration and control problems. Both are well published in their respective research areas of research.  Their combined expertise in researching vibratory systems integrated with piezoelectric materials enables this complete and detailed book on the topic. This allows for a formal theoretical background which will enable future research.

Preface

The goal of this book is to provide a self‐contained, comprehensive, and introductory account of the modern theory of vibrations of linearly piezoelectric structural systems. While the piezoelectric effect was first investigated by the Curies in the , and systematically investigated in the field of acoustics and the development of sonar during the First World War, it is only much more recently that we have seen the widespread interest in mechatronic systems that feature piezoelectric sensors and actuators. Many of the early, now classical, texts present piezoelectricity from the viewpoint of a material scientist such as in [22] or [53]. Others are difficult, if not impossible, to obtain since they are out of print. Older editions of the excellent text [20] are currently selling for prices in excess of $600 on sites such as Amazon.com. Moreover, it is also quite difficult to find treatments of piezoelectricity that systematically cover all the relevant background material from first principles in continuum mechanics, continuum electrodynamics, or variational calculus that are necessary for a comprehensive introduction to vibrations of piezoelectric structures. The authors know of no text that assimilates all this requisite supporting material into one source. One text may give an excellent overview of piezoelectric constitutive laws, but neglect to discuss variational methods. Another may cover variational methods for piezoelectric systems, but fail to review the first principles of electrodynamics, and so forth. A large, substantive literature on various aspects of piezoelectricity has evolved over the past few years in archival journal articles, but much of this material has never been systematically represented in a single text.

This book has evolved from the course notes that the authors have generated while offering courses in active materials, smart systems, and piezoelectric materials over the past decade at various research universities. Most recently, the authors have taught active materials and smart structures courses that feature piezoelectricity at Virginia Tech to a diverse collection of first year graduate students. So much time was dedicated to the particular systems that include piezoelectric components that this textbook emerged. The backgrounds of the students in our classes have varied dramatically. Many students have not had a graduate class in vibrations, continuum mechanics, advanced strength of materials, nor electrodynamics. For this reason, the notes that evolved into this book make every effort to be self‐contained. Admittedly, this text covers in one chapter what other courses may cover over one or two semesters of dedicated study. As an example, Chapter 3 reviews the fundamentals of continuum mechanics for this text, a topic that is covered in other graduate classes at an introductory level during a full semester. So, while the presentation attempts to be comprehensive, the pace is sometimes brisk.

While preparing this text, we have tried to structure the material so that it is presented at the senior undergraduate or first year graduate student level. It is intended that this text provide the student with a good introduction to the topic, one that will serve them well when they seek to pursue more advanced topics in other texts or in their research. For example, this text can serve as a introduction to the fundamentals of modeling piezoelectric systems, and it can prepare the student specializing in energy harvesting when they consult a more advanced text such as [21].

This text begins in Chapter 2 with a review of the essential mathematical tools that are used frequently throughout the book. Topics covered include frames, coordinate systems, bases, vectors, tensors, introductory crystallography, and symmetry. Chapter 3 then gives a fundamental summary of topics from continuum mechanics. The stress vector and tensor is defined, Cauchy's Principle and the equilibrium equations are derived. The strain tensor is defined, and an introduction to constitutive laws for linearly elastic materials is also covered in this chapter. Chapter 4 provides the student the required introduction to continuum electrodynamics that is essential in building the theory of linear piezoelectricity in subsequent chapters. The definitions of charge, current, electric field, electric displacement, and magnetic field are introduced, and then Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism are studied.

Linear piezoelectricity is covered in Chapter 5. The discussion begins by introducing a physical example of the piezoelectric effect in one spatial example, and subsequently giving a generalization of the phenomenon in terms of piezoelectric constitutive laws. The initial‐boundary value problem of linear piezoelectricity is then derived from the analysis of Maxwell's equations and principles of continuum mechanics. While the equations governing any particular piezoelectric structure can be derived in principle from the initial‐boundary value problem of linear piezoelectricity, it is often possible and convenient to derive them directly for a problem at hand. Chapter 6 discusses the application of Newton's equations of motion for several prototypical piezoelectric composite structural systems. Chapter 7 provides a detailed account of how variational techniques can be used, instead of Newton's method, for many linearly piezoelectric structures. In some cases the variational approach can be much more expedient in deriving the governing equations. This chapter starts with a review of variational methods and Hamilton's Principle for linearly elastic structures. The approach is then extended by formulating Hamilton's Principle for Piezoelectric Systems and Hamilton's Principle for Electromechanical Systems. Several examples are considered, including the piezoelectrically actuated rod and Bernoulli–Euler beam, as well as the electromechanical systems that result when these structures are connected to ideal passive electrical networks. The book finishes in Chapter 8 with a discussion of approximation methods. Both modal approximations and finite element methods are discussed. Numerous example simulations are described in the final chapter, both for the actuator equation alone and for systems that couple the actuator and sensor equations.

1Introduction

1.1 The Piezoelectric Effect

In the most general terms, a material is piezoelectric if it transforms electrical into mechanical energy, and vice versa, in a reversible or lossless process. This transformation is evident at a macroscopic scale in what are commonly known as the direct and converse piezoelectric effects. The direct piezoelectric effect refers to the ability of a material to transform mechanical deformations into electrical charge. Equivalently, application of mechanical stress to a piezoelectric specimen induces flow of electricity in the direct piezoelectric effect. The converse piezoelectric effect describes the process by which the application of an electrical potential difference across a specimen results in its deformation. The converse effect can also be viewed as how the application of an external electric field induces mechanical stress in the specimen.

While the brothers Pierre and Jacques Curie discovered piezoelectricity in 1880, much the early impetus motivating its study can be attributed to the demands for submarine countermeasures that evolved during World War I. An excellent and concise history, before, during, and after World War I, can be found in [43]. With the increasing military interest in detecting submarines by their acoustic signatures during World War I, early research often studied naval applications, and specifically sonar. Paul Langevin and Walter Cady had pivotal roles during these early years. Langevin constructed ultrasonic transducers with quartz and steel composites. Shortly thereafter, the use of piezoelectric quartz oscillators became prevalent in ultrasound applications and broadcasting. The research by W.G. Cady was crucial in determining how to employ quartz resonators to stabilize high frequency electrical circuits.

A number of naturally occurring crystalline materials including Rochelle salt, quartz, topaz, tourmaline, and cane sugar exhibit piezoelectric effects. These materials were studied methodically in the early investigations of piezoelectricity. Following World War II, with its high demand for quartz plates, research and development of techniques to synthesize piezoelectric crystalline materials flourished. These efforts have resulted in a wide variety of synthetic piezoelectrics, and materials science research into specialized piezoelectrics continues to this day.

1.1.1 Ferroelectric Piezoelectrics

Perhaps one of the most important classes of piezoelectric materials that have become popular over the past few decades are the ferroelectric dielectrics. A ferroelectric can have coupling between the mechanical and electrical response that is several times a large as that in natural piezoelectrics. Ferroelectrics include materials such as barium titanate and lead zirconate titanate, and their unit cells are depicted in Figure 1.1. When the centers of positive and negative charge in a unit cell of a crystalline material do not coincide, the material is said to be polar or dielectric. An electric dipole moment is a vector that points from the center of negative charge to the center of positive charge, and its magnitude is equal to where is the magnitude of the charge at the centers and is the separation between the centers. The limiting volumetric density of dipole moments is the polarization vector . Intuitively we think of the polarization vector as measuring the asymmetry of the internal electric field of the piezoelectric crystal lattice. Ferroelectrics exhibit spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by the application of an external electric field. In other words, the polarization of the material is evident during a spontaneous process, one that evolves to a state that is thermodynamically more stable. Understanding this process requires a discussion of the micromechanics of a ferroelectric.

(Right) Lead zircanate titanate with or cation at the center, anions on the faces, and cations at the corners of the unit cell.

The micromechanics of ferroelectric dielectrics is subtle and interesting. Above a critical temperature , the Curie temperature, the crystal structure of a ferroelectric is usually symmetric, and a plot of the polarization versus applied electric charge is generally nonlinear and single‐valued as shown in Figure 1.2.

However, with cooling below the Curie temperature , a thermodynamic process drives a structural phase transition so that the final crystalline phase has a lower symmetry. At the lower temperature it can be shown [18] that the lower symmetry crystal phase has at least two energetically equivalent configurations or variants. Furthermore, with the application of an external electric field, it must be the case that it is possible switch among these crystalline variants in a reversible process. The ferroelectric material forms domains that consist of these energetically equivalent crystalline variants. Figure 1.3 depicts schematically the and domains [31] that can appear in single crystal barium titanate [31]. Note in the figure that the polarization vectors are opposite from one domain to the next, and their average polarization over a macroscale can have zero effective polarization. Because of the presence of these domains, below the Curie temperature the polarization versus applied electric field takes the form of a hysteresis loop as shown in Figure 1.4. Initially, the domains cancel their effects over the macroscopic specimen and at . The polarization increases as in Figure 1.2 for a range of electric field . When a critical value , the coercive electric field strength, is reached, the domains abruptly switch so that they are approximately well‐aligned with the external electric field. With all domains having approximately aligned polarization vectors, the polarization again follows a nonlinear single valued curve until saturation is achieved. When the electric field is reversed, and reaches the opposite coercive electric field strength , the domains switch again so their polarization vectors are approximately aligned with the second variant. The result of this cyclic process is that after the transient response there is a nonzero polarization, the spontaneous polarization, for an electric field strength . At a macroscopic scale, then, the effective or average polarization can switch with the application of the external electric field.

1.1.2 One Dimensional Direct and Converse Piezoelectric Effect

In view of these observations, at a fundamental level, the micromechanics of piezoelectricity is understood in terms of crystalline asymmetry. While the most general theory of linear piezoelectricity of material continua in three dimensions is discussed in Chapter 5, intuition can be built by considering a one dimensional example. Figure 1.5 depicts the direct piezoelectric effect graphically, while the converse effect is shown in Figure 1.6. For the specimens shown, the mechanical variables are the stress and strain , and the electrical variables include the electric field , electric displacement , voltage , and the electrical potential . In Figure 1.5 we suppose that the top and bottom of the specimen are free to displace. A thin film electrode, one that does not alter the mechanical properties of the specimen, is applied to the top and bottom surfaces by a deposition or sputtering process. An ideal current meter, over which the potential difference is approximately zero, is attached to the top and bottom electroded surfaces. A positive stress is applied as shown. As we discuss in Chapter 5
