[Jason] has continued to plug along with his sonar build and recently showed up a monostatic active sonar using a piezo element and microphone. Regular readers will remember [Jason’s ...

So how does it work, though? The magic is in the special bridge, which contains a piezo element. The bridge picks up the strings’ vibrations and sends them to a little pre-amplifier, which ...

The operating principle is based on coordinated motion of a number of highly preloaded linear and shear piezo elements acting on a runner and does not involve rotation/linear conversion. The working ...

A piezoelectric motor contains a ceramic element that, when given an electrical signal, produces force on a ceramic plate in a specific direction. This interaction drives the rotor, creating an ...

Electric Displacement Intensity Factor (EDIF): A measure of the electric field intensity at the crack tip in piezoelectric materials. Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM): An advanced numerical ...
