With the breadth of applications and analysis performed over the last few decades, it would not be an exaggeration to call piezoelectric materials “the top of the crop” of smart materials. Piezoelectric materials have emerged as the most researched materials for practical applications among the numerous smart materials. They owe it to a few main reasons, including low cost, high bandwidth of service, availability in a variety of formats, and ease of handling and execution. Several authors have used piezoelectric materials as sensors and actuators to effectively control structural vibrations, noise, and active control, as well as for structural health monitoring, over the last three decades. These studies cover a wide range of engineering disciplines, from vast space systems to aerospace, automotive, civil, and biomedical engineering. Therefore, in this review, a study has been reported on piezoelectric materials and their advantages in engineering fields with fundamental modeling and applications. Next, the new approaches and hypotheses suggested by different scholars are also explored for control/repair methods and the structural health monitoring of engineering structures. Lastly, the challenges and opportunities has been discussed based on the exhaustive literature studies for future work. As a result, this review can serve as a guideline for the researchers who want to use piezoelectric materials for engineering structures.

“…1. This type of framework can be seen repeatedly in coupled multiphysics problems, such as the fluid-structure-electrostatic interaction [5] and the fluid-structure-piezoelectric interaction [6][7][8][9], as well as the structure-piezoelectriccircuit interaction [10]. The inverse piezoelectric solver uses shell finite elements to solve thin FPED, and the direct piezoelectric solver uses solid finite elements to solve an arbitrary three-dimensional distribution of the electrical potential in the piezoelectric continuum accurately [11,12].…”

The piezoelectric energy harvesting devices for the conversion of mechanical vibration into electric energy via a flexible piezoelectric energy harvesting (FPED) structure have gained greater attention. Here, the large deformation of the FPED structure causes a strong interaction with the electric field (direct-piezoelectric effect) and structural field (inverse-piezoelectric effect), and vice-versa. Also an electrical circuit is attached to the electrodes covering the piezoelectric layers. This becomes a three-way coupling of the structure, the electromechanical effect of the piezoelectric material, and the electrical circuit. A mathematical and numerical model of the complex physical system of the involved multiphysics coupling characteristics in order to predict the operational properties and to increase the performance is very important. The presentation will discuss a partitioned coupling algorithm based hierarchical decomposition using finite element method for piezoelectric energy harvesting from structurepiezoelectric-circuit interaction. Results obtained with the finite element analysis are compared with the experimental results of PEHDs with base excitation reported in the literature.

This paper demonstrates the importance of three-dimensional (3-D) piezoelectric coupling in the electromechanical behavior of piezoelectric devices using three-dimensional finite element analyses based on weak and strong coupling models for a thin cantilevered piezoelectric bimorph actuator. It is found that there is a significant difference between the strong and weak coupling solutions given by coupling direct and inverse piezoelectric effects (i.e., piezoelectric coupling effect). In addition, there is significant longitudinal bending caused by the constraint of the inverse piezoelectric effect in the width direction at the fixed end (i.e., 3-D effect). Hence, modeling of these effects or 3-D piezoelectric coupling modeling is an electromechanical basis for the piezoelectric devices, which contributes to the accurate prediction of their behavior.
