tailieunhanh - Piezoelectric Ceramics

This book reviews a big window of opportunity for piezoelectric ceramics, such as new materials, material combinations, structures, damages and porosity effects. In addition, applications of sensors, actuators, transducers for ultrasonic imaging, positioning systems, energy harvesting, biomedical and microelectronic devices are described. The book consists of fourteen chapters. The genetic algorithm is used for identification of RLC parameters in the equivalent electrical circuit of piezoelectric transducers. Concept and development perspectives for piezoelectric energy harvesting are described | Piezoelectric Ceramics edited by Ernesto Suaste Gomez SCIYO Piezoelectric Ceramics Edited by Ernesto Suaste Gomez Published by Sciyo Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2010 Sciyo All chapters are Open Access articles distributed under the Creative Commons Non Commercial Share Alike Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
