Abstract
Piezoelectric ceramics are of importance to the field of aerospace, electric and electronic. However, crack often happens on the surface of piezoelectric ceramics due to harsh working environment. The purpose of this article is to study the impacts of crack on the electro-mechanical response of a piezoelectric beam. Firstly, a finite element model of the piezoelectric cantilever beam was set up by using the software of ABAQUS. And subsequently, the mechanic and electric induced response of the cantilever beam was discussed. Thereafter, a cracked piezoelectric cantilever beam was developed. The effects of crack on the electro-mechanical response of a cantilever beam were studied. Results indicate that the electro-mechanical response is proportional to the input force and the input voltage. As crack propagates, the variation rule of the electro-mechanical response depends on the crack size. This conclusion is helpful to the prediction of crack size, and to provide a new idea for the prediction of the piezoelectrical structure life.
