Harmonic Analysis of a multilayer piezoelectric transducer (Workbench 14)

Harmonic Analysis of a multilayer piezoelectric transducer (Workbench 14)

Harmonic Analysis of a multilayer piezoelectric transducer (Workbench 14)

(OP)
Hi,

I am Nima Pour and I am a Ph.D student in Mechatronics at the "Politecnico di Torino".

I have to simulate the voltage generated by a multilayer piezoelectric transducer on Workbench 14.

I read that to define the Piezoelectric material and the electrodes I have to put manually some commands in Workbench. I tryed to do that but it does not work because of an error.

The structure is composed by a piezoelectric layer between 2 electrodes.

The modal analysis with the same structure works perfectly.

My only problem is to understand how i have to define some materials as piezo or electrodes in order to have an electric output in workbench harmonic analysis.

Thanks in advance.

Nima

RE: Harmonic Analysis of a multilayer piezoelectric transducer (Workbench 14)


Do you know for a fact that it can be done in workbench with the harmonic module? I'm pretty sure you can't couple electric - structural analysis without additional modules. Is it high-frequency electric analysis?
