研究目的
To derive electromechanical constitutive equations for bulk disc transformers using the Extended Hamilton’s Principle and validate the model with experimental prototype results.
研究成果
The Extended Hamilton’s Principle effectively models piezoelectric disc transformers, accommodating mechanical and electrical boundary conditions. The study demonstrates that PTs are advantageous for small-scale applications due to their high energy density. Tethering and electrode area ratio significantly affect device performance, with an optimal tether stiffness identified for maximizing gain.
研究不足
The model's accuracy decreases at higher values of load impedance due to potential nonlinearities and material property estimations. The study focuses on radial mode contributions, potentially overlooking other modes.
