  text: "Lead-containing piezoelectric ceramics are still the base for today’s ultrasonic
    transducers used in broad applications. 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

  text: In applications of piezoelectric actuators and sensors, the dependability
    and particularly the reliability throughout their lifetime are vital to manufacturers
    and end-users and are enabled through condition-monitoring approaches. Existing
    approaches often utilize impedance measurements over a range of frequencies or
    velocity measurements and require additional equipment or sensors, such as a laser
    Doppler vibrometer. Furthermore, the non-negligible effects of varying operating
    conditions are often unconsidered. To minimize the need for additional sensors
    while maintaining the dependability of piezoelectric bending actuators irrespective
    of varying operating conditions, an online diagnostics approach is proposed. To
    this end, time- and frequency-domain features are extracted from monitored current
    signals to reflect hairline crack development in bending actuators. For validation
    of applicability, the presented analysis method was evaluated on piezoelectric
    bending actuators subjected to accelerated lifetime tests at varying voltage amplitudes
    and under external damping conditions. In the presence of a crack and due to a
    diminished stiffness, the resonance frequency decreases and the root-mean-square
    amplitude of the current signal simultaneously abruptly drops during the lifetime
    tests. Furthermore, the piezoelectric crack surfaces clapping is reflected in
    higher harmonics of the current signal. Thus, time-domain features and harmonics
    of the current signals are sufficient to diagnose hairline cracks in the actuators.

  text: With enhancing digitalization, condition monitoring is used in an increasing
    number of application fields across various industrial sectors. By its application,
    increased reliability as well as reduced risks and costs can be achieved. Based
    on different approaches, technical systems are monitored and measured data is
    analyzed to enable condition-based or predictive maintenance. To this end, machine
    learning approaches are usually implemented to diagnose the health states or predict
    the health index of the monitored system. However, these trained models are often
    black-box models, not intuitively explainable for a human. To overcome this shortcoming,
    a model-based approach based on physics is developed for piezoelectric bending
    actuators. Such a model enables a transparent representation of the system. Moreover,
    the model-based approach is extended by a parameter-estimation to account for
    sudden changes in behavior e. g. caused by occurring cracks.

  text: 'This article is dedicated to piezoelectric ultrasonic power transducers that
    differ to well known medical ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus or non destructive
    testing devices by the level of power in use; typically several tens of up to
    more than thousand watts are used in a multitude of different applications. After
    a short introduction including historical development, the first focus is on theoretical
    background of the operating principle, design and mechanical modeling. 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. At the end, some future directions ranging from novel modeling approaches
    to advanced control and new materials are addressed.'

    which involve continuous monitoring of the health of technical systems and using
    this information to estimate the current health state and consequently predict
    the remaining useful lifetime (RUL), can be used to increase the reliability,
    safety, and availability of the transducers. This is achieved by utilizing the
    health state and RUL predictions to adaptively control the usage of the components
    or to schedule appropriate maintenance without interrupting operation. In this
    work, a prognostic approach utilizing self-sensing, where electric signals of
    a piezoelectric transducer are used as the condition monitoring data, is proposed.
    The approach involves training machine learning algorithms to model the degradation
    of the transducers through a health index and the use of the learned model to
    estimate the health index of similar transducers. The current health index is
    then used to estimate RUL of test components. The feasibility of the approach
    is demonstrated using piezoelectric bimorphs and the results show that the method
    is accurate in predicting the health index and RUL.

  text: In order to increase mechanical strength, heat dissipation and ampacity and
    to decrease failure through fatigue fracture, wedge copper wire bonding is being
    introduced as a standard interconnection method for mass production. To achieve
    the same process stability when using copper wire instead of aluminum wire a profound
    understanding of the bonding process is needed. Due to the higher hardness of
    copper compared to aluminum wire it is more difficult to approach the surfaces
    of wire and substrate to a level where van der Waals forces are able to arise
    between atoms. Also, enough friction energy referred to the total contact area
    has to be generated to activate the surfaces. Therefore, a friction model is used
    to simulate the joining process. This model calculates the resulting energy of
    partial areas in the contact surface and provides information about the adhesion
    process of each area. The focus here is on the arising of micro joints in the
    contact area depending on the location in the contact and time. To validate the
    model, different touchdown forces are used to vary the initial contact areas of
    wire and substrate. Additionally, a piezoelectric tri-axial force sensor is built
    up to identify the known phases of pre-deforming, cleaning, adhering and diffusing
    for the real bonding process to map with the model. Test substrates as DBC and
    copper plate are used to show the different formations of a wedge bond connection
    due to hardness and reaction propensity. The experiments were done by using 500
    $\mu$m copper wire and a standard V-groove tool.

  text: (K,Na)NbO3 ceramics have attracted much attention as lead-free piezoelectric
    materials with high piezoelectric properties. High-quality (K,Na)NbO3 ceramics
    can be sintered using KNbO3 and NaNbO3 powders synthesized by a hydrothermal method.
    In this study, to enhance the quality factor of the ceramics, high-power ultrasonic
    irradiation was employed during the hydrothermal method, which led to a reduction
    in the particle size of the resultant powders.

  text: It has been shown previously that ``slip-slip'' operation of piezoelectric
    inertia motors allows higher velocities and smoother movements than classic ``stick-slip''
    operation. One very promising driving option is to use a superposition of multiple
    sinusoidal signals. In this contribution, previous theoretical results are validated
    experimentally. The results confirm the theoretical result that for a given maximum
    frequency, usually defined by the actuator characteristics, a signal with high
    fundamental frequency and consisting of two superposed sine waves leads to the
    highest velocity and the smoothest motion. This result is of fundamental importance
    for the further development of high-velocity piezoelectric inertia motors.

  text: Piezoelectric inertia motors, also known as stickslip drives or (smooth) impact
    drives, use the inertia of a body to drive it by a friction contact in small steps,
    in the majority of motors composed of a stick phase and a slip phase between the
    friction partners. For optimizing inertia motors, it is important to understand
    the friction contact correctly and to measure its properties appropriately. This
    contribution presents experimental set-ups for measuring the contact force, friction
    force and relative displacement in an actual inertia motor with a dry friction
    contact and numerical simulations of the motor operation. The motor uses a pre-stressed
    multilayer actuator with a displacement in the range of 20 $\mu$ m. It is shown
    that a previously postulated condition for the applicability of simple kinetic
    friction models is well fulfilled for the investigated motor. The friction contact
    in the motor is simulated using different kinetic friction models. The input for
    the friction models is the measured motion of the rod. The models qualitatively
    reproduce the measured motion but show quantitative deviations varying with frequency.
    These can be explained by vibrations of the driving rod that are experimentally
    investigated.

    such as low-temperature synthesis, and high purity and high quality of the product.
    In order to promote hydrothermal reactions, we developed an ultrasonic assisted
    hydrothermal method and confirmed that it produces dense and thick lead--zirconate--titanate
    (PZT) films. In the hydrothermal method, a crystal growth process follows the
    nucleation process. In this study, we verified that ultrasonic irradiation is
    effective for the nucleation process, and there is an optimum irradiation period
    to obtain thicker PZT films. With this optimization, a 9.2-$\mu$ m-thick PZT polycrystalline
    film was obtained in a single deposition process. For this film, ultrasonic irradiation
    was carried out from the beginning of the reaction for 18 h, followed by a 6 h
    deposition without ultrasonic irradiation. These results indicate that the ultrasonic
    irradiation mainly promotes the nucleation process.

  text: Piezoelectric inertia motors use the inertia of a body to drive it by means
    of a friction contact in a series of small steps. These motors can operate in
    ``stick-slip'' or ``slip-slip'' mode, with the fundamental frequency of the driving
    signal ranging from several Hertz to more than 100 kHz. To predict the motor characteristics,
    a Coulomb friction model is sufficient in many cases, but numerical simulation
    requires microscopic time steps. This contribution proposes a much faster simulation
    technique using one evaluation per period of the excitation signal. The proposed
    technique produces results very close to those of timestep simulation for ultrasonics
    inertia motors and allows direct determination of the steady-state velocity of
    an inertia motor from the motion profile of the driving part. Thus it is a useful
    simulation technique which can be applied in both analysis and design of inertia
    motors, especially for parameter studies and optimisation.

  text: Hydrothermal method enables to synthesize high quality piezoelectric materials.
    To shorten the reaction time and to get higher quality materials, we propose an
    ultrasonic irradiation to the solution during the hydrothermal method. We named
    it ultrasonic assisted hydrothermal method (UAHTM). We have synthesized lead-free
    piezoelectric material and PZT thin film and the effect of UAHTM have been confirmed.
    In this study, we tried to improve UAHTM. First, to generate powerful and stable
    ultrasonic irradiation at high temperature on UAHTM, we developed a new transducer
    using LiNbO3 single crystal. Second, to prevent contamination to the materials,
    A Teflon cover on the tip of transducer was attached.

  text: Piezoelectric inertia motors, also known as ``stick-slip-drives'', use the
    inertia of a body to drive it by means of a friction contact in small steps. While
    these steps normally involve stiction and sliding, the motors can also operate
    in ``slip-slip'' mode without any phase of static friction. In this contribution,
    a one degree of freedom model of an inertia motor driven by an ideal actuator
    is analysed. Start-up and constant velocity operation of the motor are investigated
    and appropriate quantities to compare ``stick-slip'' and ``slip-slip'' operation
    are determined. Different aspects such as velocity, uniformity of motion, load
    capacity, robustness, efficiency, and wear are considered. The analysis allows
    both modes to be applied advantageously in different applications and can widen
    the field of application of piezoelectric inertia motors. Motor designers are
    enabled to choose the appropriate mode of operation and the best drive parameters
    for their individual applications.

  text: The paper presents the results of numerical and experimental investigation
    of cylindrical piezoelectric actuator used for achieving independent three degrees
    of freedom oscillations of the contact point. The design of actuator based on
    a hollow piezoelectric cylinder mounted on a metal rod. The piezoceramic cylinder
    has a radial polarization and special configuration of the electrodes that cover
    inner and outer surface of the cylinder. The main advantage of actuator's design
    is that solid metallic rod operates as a part of inner electrode of the cylinder
    and a stator of actuator. The geometry of piezoelectric actuator was adopted to
    reach resonance of oscillations for the first longitudinal mode and the third
    flexural mode at same frequency. The actuator is designed to move positioned object
    through contact point which is located on the top of the rod. The optimal topology
    of electrodes was found to achieve longitudinal and flexural oscillations of the
    actuator in two perpendicular planes. Three degrees of freedom of the positioning
    object can be achieved and control of the system can be implemented by applying
    different excitation schemes and regimes. The numerical simulation and experimental
    study of piezoelectric actuator was performed. Impedance of actuator was analyzed
    under different excitation regimes. The results of numerical modeling and experimental
    study were compared. Recommendations for the further development of this type
    of actuator are given.

  text: The hydrothermal method enables the production of high-quality piezoelectric
    materials. In this study, we propose to irradiate the reaction solutions with
    ultrasonic power during the hydrothermal method to obtain a shorter reaction time
    and a smooth film surface. A high-pressure reaction container for the ultrasonic
    transducer was newly developed, and the ultrasonically-assisted hydrothermal method
    was examined by using this container. The effect of ultrasonic assist on the synthesis
    of lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) thin films and (K,Na)NbO$_{3}$ powders was verified.
    Thicker PZT film, thickness around 10 ${\mu}$m, could be obtained in one process,
    and (K,Na)NbO$_{3}$ powder was synthesized in half the previous reaction time.

  text: In the modeling of piezoelectric Langevin transducers using usual transfer
    matrix methods, some simplifications have been adopted. This leads to reduction
    of the model quality. A mixed transfer matrix method is employed in the modeling
    of Langevin transducers, where the pre-stressed bolt is modeled as a separate
    four-pole element, which is connected to other elements in parallel. Based on
    the mixed transfer matrix method, the four (six)-pole element description of the
    piezoelectric Langevin transducer is built up and the total transfer matrix relation
    is derived. The resonance frequencies of the transducer are calculated and then
    measured using the impedance analyzer (HP4192). Experimental result shows that
    the mixed transfer matrix method has better modeling quality than the usual transfer
    matrix method for the vibration analysis of piezoelectric Langevin transducers.

  text: Piezoelectric materials find wide application in technical systems. Most often,
    a combination of piezoelectric and other materials is advantageous. The position
    and the amount of the piezoelectric material within the overall system depends
    on various aspects like maximum mechanical output to the load, maximum electromechanical
    efficiency of the system, maximum utilization of the piezoelectric material, minimum
    self-heating of the piezoelectric material, and controllability of the system,
    which might be key aspects for the optimisation of the system design. For a composite
    longitudinal vibrator (bolted Langevin transducer), which is a base for many technical
    applications, this contribution shows in detail, how above mentioned aspects depend
    on the position and volume of the piezoelectric material related to the mode shape.

  text: As a lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, (K,Na)NbO$_{3}$ is a promising material
    because of its good piezoelectric properties. In this study, (K$_{1-x}$Na$_{x}$)NbO$_{3}$
    ceramics were synthesized from a KNbO$_{3}$ and NaNbO$_{3}$ mixture powder prepared
    by the hydrothermal reaction. The hydrothermal reaction enables the production
    of high quality powder for the ceramics fabrication process. To obtain (K$_{1-x}$Na$_{x}$)NbO$_{3}$
    ceramics, these two powders KNbO$_{3}$ and NaNbO$_{3}$ were mixed and then sintered
    together. X-Ray diffraction analysis revealed that the solid solution ceramics
    (K$_{1-x}$Na$_{x}$)NbO$_{3}$ was produced by the sintering process. The K/Na ratio
    in (K$_{1-x}$Na$_{x}$)NbO$_{3}$ ceramics was optimized for the best piezoelectric
    properties. The optimized forms was (K$_{0.48}$Na$_{0.52}$)NbO$_{3}$, which showed
    the following piezoelectric properties; k$_{33}$=0.56, d$_{33}$=114pC/N. In addition,
    the ferroelectric properties, P$_{r}$=7.72mC/cm$^{2}$, E$_{c}$=857V/mm, and the
    Curie temperature T$_{c}$=420$_{o}$C were also measured.
