Finite Element Modellingand Simulations of Piezoelectric Actuators Responses with Uncertainty Quantification

Abstract: Piezoelectric structures are widely used in engineering designs including sensors, actuators, and energy-harvesting devices. In this paper, we present the development of a three-dimensional finite element model for simulations of piezoelectric actuators and quantification of their responses under uncertain parameter inputs. The implementation of the finite element model is based on standard nodal approach extended for piezoelectric materials using three-dimensional tetrahedral and hexahedral elements. To accou… Show more

“…The mathematical problem is to find the distribution of the acoustic and electric fields inside the disk [ 15 ]. Due to the fact that the axis of the disk is parallel to the axis of polarization of the piezoceramic, this problem is axisymmetric and can be written in two-dimensional form relative to the cylindrical coordinates r and z .…”

“…Virtual work of electric field and electric charge is also expressed as 88 where Qe and φe are nodal electric charges and nodal potential vectors, respectively. The strain and electric field intensity are related to nodal displacement and nodal potential vectors, respectively as 89 where Bu and Bϕ are the shape function derivative matrices. 89 Using equations (9) and (10), the constitutive equation (2) can be reformed as …”

“…With the development of numerical methods, nowadays an FEM-based numerical approach is very often used. FEM, combined with analytical or experimental solutions, can be used, e.g., to study phenomena such as friction [27][28][29][30], liquid and heat flow [31][32][33] or piezoelectricity [34,35]. This method can also be used to estimate the basic parameters of fracture mechanics, such as the stress intensity factor.…”
