Abstract

A cymbal piezoelectric composite transducer (CPCT) has been developed in recent years, which converts small radial deformation into larger longitudinal deformation. In this paper, the finite element analysis (FEA) method is used to analyze the characters of CPCT, by which the optimized CPCT has been made. Firstly, the FEA theory of a CPCT has been described, and the two-dimensional FEA model of a CPCT has been established by ANSYS. Secondly, the simulation and analysis about the relationships between structural parameters and displacement have been carried out, by which the CPCT samples have been made with optimized structure parameters. Thirdly, using laser interferometry, voltage–displacement relationships of CPCT samples have been measured. Finally, the displacement hysteresis and the aging behavior of a CPCT have been analyzed.
