The finite element method and its application to smart transducer systems are introduced in this chapter. The fundamentals of finite element analysis are introduced first. Then, the section ‘Defining the equations for the problem’ treats how to integrate the piezoelectric constitutive equations, and ‘Application of the finite element method’ describes the meshing. The last section ‘FEM simulation examples’ introduces six cases; multilayer actuator, Π-type linear ultrasonic motor, windmill ultrasonic motor, metal tube ultrasonic motor, piezoelectric transformer, and ‘cymbal’ underwater transducer, which includes most of the basic capabilities of ATILA FEM code.

Applications of ATILA FEM Software to Smart Materials by Kenji Uchino,Jean-Claude Debus

ATILA Finite Element Method (FEM) software facilitates the modelling and analysis of applications using piezoelectric, magnetostrictor and shape memory materials. It allows entire designs to be constructed, refined and optimized before production begins. Through a range of instructive case studies, Applications of ATILA FEM software to smart materials provides an

Periodic structures have attracted considerable interest over the past three decades. Thus, passive structures with 1D or 2D periodicity are in standard use in underwater acoustics. Moreover doubly periodic active structures, such as 1–3 piezocomposite materials made of parallel piezoelectric bars embedded in a passive matrix, are also of great interest

Applications of ATILA FEM software to smart materials by K. Uchino

Finite element analysis can be applied to smart structures with piezoelectric or magnetostrictive materials rather successfully when neither the applying electric field nor the generating AC strain is very large and when the linear relation can be supposed in the strain vs electric field or the strain vs stress. However,

The aim of this chapter is to compare the new version of ATILA (ATILA++) with the previous one. In Section 2.3, the new developments in the pre- and post-processor are presented. Then in Section 2.5, a time comparison is made from several examples. With a first example which is a 3D electromechanical

Applications of ATILA FEM software to smart materials by S.-H. Park

This chapter describes time domain analysis capabilities of ATILA which might be useful in evaluating acoustic wave propagation and reflection by transducers, transient signal response of sensors, and overshoot and ringing behaviors for actuators. Three examples from different application fields were selected to show how time domain analysis can be

Applications of ATILA FEM software to smart materials by J.-C. Debus

The damping of a structure can be obtained by a transfer of the vibratory energy into thermal energy (dissipation in an electrical resistance). The transfer is carried out by using piezoelectric materials (PZT piezoelectric plate) and is improved by charging the piezoelectric material by an electrical circuit. This chapter describes

Applications of ATILA FEM software to smart materials by A. Loussert,J.-C. Debus,G. Vanderborck

For underwater applications and manufacture of sonar for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), large areas of piezoelectric materials with very good electromechanical properties are often needed. Piezoelectric single crystals (typically the compositions PMN-PT or PZN-PT) are high-performance materials (high yields), but are difficult to manufacture in large areas while maintaining homogeneous

The vibration and sound radiation of structures, like plates or shells stiffened by frames or ribs, is a problem of interest in the analysis of aircraft and marine structures. If the ribs are uniformly spaced, then the composite structure is spatially periodic. Many authors have proposed solutions for stiffened infinite

Phononic crystals (PCs) are usually defined as artificial materials made of periodic arrangement of scatterers embedded in a matrix. The band structure of PCs may present under certain conditions absolute band gaps: they display frequency ranges in which waves cannot propagate. This fact is analogous to photonic band gaps for

Applications of ATILA FEM software to smart materials by S.-J. Yoon

Piezoelectric ultrasonic motors offer many advantages such as high retention being very controllable, high torque at low speed, light weight, simple structure and no electromagnetic field induction compared with the conventional electromagnetic motors. These advantages have helped to expand the application fields where precise position control and rotational/linear motions

In this chapter, a coupled electromechanical thermal analysis is presented. For a steady-state solution, the thermal behaviour is weakly coupled to the electromechanical response. A simple model, a tonpilz, a doubled-ended and a flextensional transducer serve as validation of the numerical model compared to the analytical models. The transient thermal

Traditional transmitting materials, such as PZT-8, exhibit some non-linearity in stress and temperature, but predicting performance under high stress and higher temperatures can be achieved by taking advantage of the weak coupling. One needs to predict the performance of these devices by considering the highly non-linear behaviour with a fully

This chapter provides the utilization of piezoelectric polarization. In smart structures, the polarization and the electric field are not necessarily parallel to each other. However, applying an electric field in a particular direction may change the behaviour of the device. Sections 5.3 to 5.5 present the utilization of Cartesian polarization with different
