The nonlinear piezoelectric tuned vibration absorber

Abstract:

Most technologically relevant ferroelectrics typically lose piezoelectricity above the Curie temperature. This limits their use to relatively low temperatures. In this Letter, exploiting a combination of flexoelectricity and simple functional grading, we propose a strategy for high-temperature electromechanical coupling in a standard thin film configuration.

A review article of our research at IBM TJ Wason Research Center in piezoelectronic transistor, an exploratory device beyond silicon, is published in MRS Bulletin, Volume 37, Issue 11, November 2012, pp 1071-1076. Your future computer may depend even more on the mechanics.

Abstract

I'm currently working on modeling 3 phases composites material. However, I'm having hard time on finding the transverse modulus as it's different from analytical results. I've been using Mori-Tanaka approach to determine the stiffness moduli. Does anyone know how to obtain a correct values for the transverse moduli? 

The Piezoelectric Device Laboratory has immediate opennings for recent PhDs.  We are engaged in researchs in piezoeelctric acoustic wave resonators with supports from government and indsutry.  The Laboratory has been grwoing and we would like to have new members to accelerate the pace and expand collaborations with the fast growing piezoelectric acoustic wave device industry in China and other countries.
