A Stress-Dependent Hysteresis Model for PZT-Based Transducers

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA452947 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A ferroelastic switching model for single crystal piezoceramic compounds is developed. The model is based on a phenomenological Landau-Devonshire type thermodynamic theory for the materials. The model incorporates externally applied electric fields and compressive stress inputs to the crystals and models the 90 deg and 180 deg ferroelastic and ferroelectric switching induced by the inputs. Properties of the ferroelastic model are qualitatively similar to experimental PLZT data.
