Piezoelectricity
Algorithms for solving the linear piezoelectricity equations
Problem
For time-harmonic case with stress $T$, electric displacement $D$, strain $S$ and electric field $E$, solve for displacement $u$ and potential $\phi$:
$ \displaystyle{
\left{\begin{matrix}
-\omega_0^2\rho_p u_i &=& T_{ij,j}
D_{i,i} &=& 0
\end{matrix} \right.
} $
With:
$
\displaystyle{
\left{\begin{matrix}
T_{ij} = c_{ijkl}^E S_{kl}(u) - e_{kij}E_k(\phi)
D_{i} = e_{ikl} S_{kl}(u) +\epsilon_{ik}^S E_k(\phi)
\end{matrix} \right.
}
$
where $c$ is a 3x3x3x3 elasticy tensor, $e$ - 3x3x3 piezoelectric tensor and $\epsilon$ - 3x3 dielectric matrix
Variational form
The variational form for free vibration (without impedance loads on boundaries) reads as follows:
$
\displaystyle{
\left{\begin{matrix}
-\omega_0^2\int_{\Omega_p}\rho_p v_i u_i \; d\Omega &=& -\int_{\Omega_p} S_{i,j}(v_i) T_{ij}(u_i) \; d\Omega
\int_{\Omega_p} w D_{i,i} \; d\Omega &=& 0
\end{matrix} \right.
}
$
with $v$ and $w$ as test functions.
Algorithms
2D
Free vibration of voltage excited piezoelectric circular disc with radius $a$ and thinkness $l$. Due to axisymmetry of the disc shape the analysis is performed in one half of the disc’s cross-section. The bottom (1) and top (3) edges of the rectangular domain represents electrodes and the left edge (4) represents the axis. The analysis is performed in several frequencies located near modal frequencies of the disc. The model uses coefficients of a PZT5A piezoelectric material without losses (real-valued problem) and uses cylindrical coordinates.
