Numerical analysis of excitation zones configuration for multicomponent piezoelectric actuators

Abstract

The paper presents an investigation excitation zones configuration for multicomponent piezoelectric actuators used in ultrasonic devices. The numerical algorithm of excitation zones configuration for multicomponent piezoelectric actuator was suggested. Algorithm was tested on two dimensional piezoelectric actuator when longitudinal - bending oscillations are excited. Results of calculations were compared with electrodes configuration of practical used piezoelectric actuator.
