Applications Piezoelectric Transducers 2 Piezoelectric Effect • Certain materials that generate electric potential • Voltage when mechanical strain is applied to them • To change the dimensions along certain plane • Discovered in the year 1880 by Pierre and Jacques Curie 3 Piezoelectric Transducers • Work on the principle of PIEZOELECTRIC EFFECT • Forces are applied to some materials along certain planes • Electric voltage can be measured easily by the voltage measuring instruments 4 Materials used for the Piezoelectric Transducers • Stability • High output • Insensitive to the extreme temperature and humidity • Ability to be formed or machined into any shape. 5 Construction and working process • Piezoelectric crystal inserted between a solid base and the force summing member. • Applied on the pressure port, the same force will fall. • Voltage produced will be proportional to the magnitude of the applied force 6 High frequency response: Advantages of Piezoelectric Transducers • Offer very high frequency response High transient response: • • • Detect the events of microseconds Also give the linear output. Small in size and have rugged construction. 7 Disadvantages of Piezoelectric Transducers • It has high-temperature sensitivity • Crystals are water soluble and dissolve • Used for dynamic measurement • Needs high piezoelectric cable for electrical interface • Output obtained from the piezoelectric transducer is low 8 Low Output: • • Limitation of Piezoelectric Transducers Piezoelectric transducers is low Circuit has to be connected. High impedance: • • • Have high impedance The auxiliary circuit, which have the potential to cause errors in measurement. To reduce these errors amplifiers high input Forming into shape: • Very difficult to give the desired shape 9 Application of Piezoelectric Transducers • Useful for the dynamic measurements. • They can be used for studying high speed phenomenon like explosions and blast waves. • Used along with the strain gauges for measurement of force, stress, vibrations. • Used piezoelectric transducers to detect detonations in the engine blocks. • Used in medical treatment, sonochemistry and industrial processing • Used in Inkjet printers • Used in smartphone screens. • Used in lighters 10 Any questions?
