This is partly due to missing powerful lead-free piezoelectric ceramic parts in the commercial market. There has been much research on lead-free materials but developing them into marketable parts seems to be an ongoing process. The actual exemption of ROHS has expired, but as the new exemption has already been requested, ceramic suppliers keep on selling lead containing products. Nevertheless, these should be replaced by lead-free alternatives for environmental and health issues. \r\nThis contribution focuses on exploring the technological readiness level of lead-free hard piezoceramics for prestressed ultrasonic transducers. A small series of bolted Langevin transducers was set up with standard PZT material and three commercial lead-free variants. Results of the building process from individual ring ceramic characteristics to transducer load tests are presented. The main finding of this study is that the lead-free materials technically can compete with the standard PZT for medium-power applications. Some adaptations in the ultrasonic system must be done: the geometry must be altered to fit resonance frequency, and higher voltages or thinner ceramics are needed to achieve the same vibration level at low load. For reaching same power, the volume of lead-free ceramics must be 1.5 to 3 times larger. As already promoted in literature, mechanical losses at high vibration levels are smaller for the lead-free materials. This might help to argument lead-free piezoelectric materials in some applications.\r\n\r\nReferences\r\n1.\tDirective 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment.

Die Herausforderungen ein solches geprägtes System auszulegen oder effizient und zuverlässig zu betreiben, sind aufgrund der Nichtlinearitäten relativ groß.\r\nDa für die Beschreibung der nichtlinearen Materialbeziehungen nur wenige Modelle und kaum quantitative Angaben vorliegen, werden die komplexen Wechselwirkungen von Materialparametern, Geometrie und Vorspannung des Schwingers, Betriebsgrößen (Strom, Spannung), Temperatur und Prozesslasten durch systematische Untersuchungen von Keramiken und Langevin-Schwingern messtechnisch erfasst. Aus den Messergebnissen werden einerseits eindimensionale Modelle für Voruntersuchungen als auch vollständige Materialparametersätze für die Simulation mittels dreidimensionaler FE-Modelle hergeleitet.\r\nEine Methodik zur Ermittlung der Materialparameter und ein auf iterativen Simulationen von FE-Modellen basierendes Werkzeug zur Simulation der komplexen Wechselwirkungen werden vorgestellt.

As piezoelectric elements transform electrical to mechanical energy and vice versa, equivalent circuit modeling is also described. After that, sample applications are delineated by the matter wherein ultrasound generates unique effects: incredible high pressure level as well in air as in water, micro-bubbles generating temperature peaks for very short time instances in fluids, acoustoplastic effect, enhancement of diffusion and recrystallization in solids, friction manipulation, incremental deformation and micro-cracking of surfaces, or even generation of macroscopic movements in motors.

Die typisch angewandten Verfahren zur Schwingungsmessung solcher Strukturen legen in der Regel ein lineares Strukturverhalten zu Grunde, oder sie erfordern einen hohen Zeit- und Messaufwand für die Abbildung des nichtlinearen Verhaltens; häufig in Verbindung mit einer starken Belastung der zu testenden Struktur. Die Bestimmung nichtlinearen Strukturverhaltens ist somit oft nicht effizient realisierbar. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein neuer Ansatz zur Schwingungsanalyse nichtlinearer Strukturen mit von der Anregungsamplitude abhängigem Übertragungsverhalten vorgestellt. Dabei liegt ein Schwerpunkt auf der messtechnischen Bestimmung des nichtlinearen Verhaltens bei deutlich reduziertem Zeit- bzw. Messaufwand. Das Verfahren basiert auf einer Messmethode, die eine effiziente Bestimmung des nichtlinearen Kennfeldes der analysierten Struktur mit speziellen multiharmonischen Anregungssignalen ermöglicht. In Kombination mit einem fortschrittlichen Auswertealgorithmus kann eine vollständige Beschreibung des dynamischen Verhaltens in Form eines charakteristischen Diagramms generiert werden. Das Messverfahren wird durch eine Identifikationsroutine ergänzt, die die erforderliche Anzahl an Messungen nochmals reduzieren kann.

The measurement setup consists of a capacitor, an impedance converter and a voltmeter. Based on the piezoelectric equation and the basic circuit theory, the mathematical expression between the pre-stress and the voltage across the capacitor is derived. The pre-stress level can then be calculated out of the measurement of the capacitor voltage. In order to evaluate the precision of this method, a force washer is used to measure the pre-stress of the Langevin transducer. The result shows the pre-stress level obtained from this method is 30-40\\% higher than the pre-stress level measured by the force washer. This method is simple and can be used to estimate the pre-stress of various Langevin transducers. The precision of this method can be raised if d33 is identified under different pre-stress levels."}],"date_created":"2019-04-29T11:16:13Z","type":"conference","keyword":["capacitors","impedance convertors","piezoelectric transducers","stress analysis","Langevin transducers","basic circuit theory","capacitor","impedance converter","piezoelectric equation","pre-stress estimating method","voltmeter","Capacitors","Educational institutions","Equations","Force measurement","Impedance measurement","Manufacturing","Mechatronics","Piezoelectric transducers","Voltage","Voltmeters","Langevin transducer","capacitor","piezoelectric element","pre-stress"],"department":[{"_id":"151"}]}]
