Dear all,

I would like to know if it's possible to calculate the longevity of piezoceramic generator given that the applied time-varying load is known. In other words, could we calculate how many cycles of time-varying load the piezoceramic element can support before failure. Is there any equation that controls that?

I would be so grateful for any information you may provide.

Thank you in advance,
Chaabain
