摘要
The vibrational and electromechanical characteristics of a wide range of 1-3 composite structures, comprising ceramic pillars aligned within a polymer phase, are considered using finite-element analysis. The influence of pillar geometry, ceramic volume fraction and pillar orientation is described in terms of overall transduction efficiency. It is shown that the finite-element method provides a versatile means of analysis and the results obtained permit a set of useful design guidelines to be developed. In general, a small pillar aspect ratio and a relatively high-volume fraction provides the most satisfactory performance, in terms of electromechanical efficiency and uniformity of thickness dilation.
