An Analysis of Jumping and Dropping Phenomena of Piezoelectric Transducers using the Electrical Equivalent Circuit Constants at High Vibration Amplitude Levels

Year: 2000

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the jumping and dropping phenomena of piezoelectric transducers, using the electrical equivalent circuit constants at high vibration amplitude levels of resonance based on the electrical transient response technique. The calculated frequency characteristics well simulated the measured ones driven by a constant voltage source. It is clarified from the results that the jumping and dropping phenomena are caused mainly by the nonlinear behavior of the elastic constant at high vibration amplitude levels. The effects of the loss, the voltage and the driving method are also discussed.
