Abstract

A model of the 1–2 type piezoelectric composite comprising zig-zag ferroelectric piezoactive ceramic inclusions in a passive polymer matrix is proposed. The orientational and concentrational profiles of the piezoelectric coefficients d 3j * and g 3j *, calculated for various sets of parameters characterizing the composite microstructure are presented. It is demonstrated that the proposed microstructure favors nonmonotonic and alternating-sign behavior of d 3j * and g 3j *. Therefore, the piezoelectric anisotropy and sensitivity of the given 1–2 type composite can be varied within broad limits.
