This paper presents the dynamic analytical solution of a piezoelectric stack utilized in an actuator and a generator based on the linear piezo-elasticity theory. The solutions for two different kinds of piezoelectric stacks under external load were obtained using the displacement method. The effects of load frequency and load amplitude on the dynamic characteristics of the stacks were discussed. The analytical solutions were validated using the available experimental results in special cases. The proposed model is able not only to predict the output properties of the devices, but also to reflect the inner electrical and mechanical components, which is helpful for designing piezoelectric actuators and generators in a comprehensive manner.

Abstract Computer numerical control (CNC) worktable is the most important part of CNC machines. The CNC worktable exhibits complex nonlinear dynamic behaviors in the milling process. The physical model and mathematical model of CNC worktable are presented, where the nonlinear factors such as clearance and friction are considered. The primary resonance of computer numerical control worktable with clearance and friction under harmonic excitation is investigated. The approximate analytical solution of primary resonance is obtained by using the averaging method. The stability condition of the steady-state solution is also exhibited. It is found that the clearance affects the dynamic characteristics of the system in the form of equivalent nonlinear stiffness, and the friction coefficient acts in the form of equivalent nonlinear damping. The correctness of the approximate analytical solutions is verified by comparing the numerical results with the approximate analytical solutions. The approximate analytical solution is in good agreement with its corresponding numerical solution. The effects of clearance and friction on the dynamic characteristics of the system are analyzed in detail. The stick-slip vibration induced by friction is also analyzed by phase portrait at low feed velocity of machine tool. The results can provide a reference for the dynamic analysis of CNC worktable.

An exact analytical model of multilayer piezoelectric-elastic spherical transducers is established in this article, and their dynamic characteristics are studied. Based on the linear theory of piezoelasticity, the dynamic analytical solution is derived in terms of Bessel functions, Lommel functions, Gamma functions, and Generalized Hypergeometric functions, and the electric impedance is obtained to determine the resonance frequencies. By proper selection of the layer number and geometric dimensions, the proposed model can approximately degrade into some special cases in the previous works, including single-layer piezoelectric spherical transducer, two-layer piezoelectric-elastic spherical transducer, and three-layer sandwiched piezoelectric-elastic-piezoelectric spherical transducer. Comparisons between the results of the proposed model and the ones of these special cases are also given and good agreements are found. Furthermore, parametric studies are conducted to discuss the effects of the key parameters on the dynamic characteristics of these special cases and a multilayer case, such as the first resonance and anti-resonance frequencies as well as the corresponding electromechanical coupling factor. This work contributes to an overall understanding of the dynamic characteristics of miniature piezoelectric hollow sphere transducers (BBs) and stacked piezoelectric spherical transducers. The developed model can be used to guide the design of the multilayer piezoelectric-elastic spherical transducers for promising applications in underwater acoustic detection, ultrasonic imaging, hydrophones, and nondestructive testing.

Singularities in the stress field of the stagnation-point flow of a viscoelastic fluid have been studied for various viscoelastic constitutive models. Analyzing the analytical solutions of these models is the most effective way to study this problem. In this paper, exact analytical solutions of two-dimensional steady wall-free stagnation-point flows for the generic Oldroyd 8-constant model are obtained for the stress field using different material parameter relations. For all solutions, compatibility with the conservation of momentum is considered in our analysis. The resulting solutions usually contain arbitrary functions, whose choice has a crucial effect on the stress distribution. The corresponding singularities are discussed in detail according to the choices of the arbitrary functions. The results can be used to analyze the stress distribution and singularity behavior of a wide spectrum of viscoelastic models derived from the Oldroyd 8-constant model. Many previous results obtained for simple viscoelastic models are reproduced as special cases. Some previous conclusions are amended and new conclusions are drawn. In particular, we find that all models have singularities near the stagnation point and most of them can be avoided by appropriately choosing the model parameters and free functions. In addition, the analytical solution for the stress tensor of a near-wall stagnation-point flow for the Oldroyd-B model is also obtained. Its compatibility with the momentum conservation is discussed and the parameters are identified, which allow for a non-singular solution.

Localized solutions of the BETHE—GOLDSTONE equation for two nucleons in nuclear matter are examined as a function of the center-of-mass momentum (c. m. m.) of the two nucleons. The equation depends upon the c. m. m. as parameter due to the dependence upon the c. m. m. of the projection operator appearing in the equation. An analytical solution of the equation is obtained for a non-local but separable potential, whereby a numerical solution is also obtained. An approximate solution for small c. m. m. is calculated for a square-well potential. In the range of the approximation the two analytical solutions agree exactly.

AbstractThe dependence of the creation and the annealing of metastable dangling bonds in hydrogenated amorphous silicon on various material parameters will be discussed in the context of a recently proposed model. After a brief review of the kinetic behaviour governing defect creation and annealing in undoped a- Si:H, a number of special cases will be analyzed: the influence of alloying with O, N, C, and Ge, changes introduced by doping and compensation, and the role of mechanical stress. Finally, possibilities to increase the stability of a-Si:H based devices will be examined.

A lumped-parameter model of a piezoelectric stack actuator has been developed to describe actuator behavior for purposes of control system analysis and design, and in particular for control applications requiring accurate position tracking performance. In addition to describing the input-output dynamic behavior, the proposed model explains aspects of nonintuitive behavioral phenomena evinced by piezoelectric actuators, such as the input-output rate-independent hysteresis and the change in mechanical stiffness that results from altering electrical load. Bond graph terminology is incorporated to facilitate the energy-based formulation of the actuator model. The authors propose a new bond graph element, the generalized Maxwell resistive capacitor, as a lumped-parameter causal representation of rate-independent hysteresis. Model formulation is validated by comparing results of numerical simulations to experimental data.

Abstract Analytical solutions for thermal conduction problems are extremely important, particularly for verification of numerical codes. Temperatures and heat fluxes can be calculated very precisely, normally to eight or ten significant figures, even in situations involving large temperature gradients. It can be convenient to have a general analytical solution for a transient conduction problem in rectangular coordinates. The general solution is based on the principle that the three primary types of boundary conditions (prescribed temperature, prescribed heat flux, and convective) can all be handled using convective boundary conditions. A large convection coefficient closely approximates a prescribed temperature boundary condition and a very low convection coefficient closely approximates an insulated boundary condition. Since a dimensionless solution is used in this research, the effect of various values of dimensionless convection coefficients, or Biot number, are explored. An understandable concern with a general analytical solution is the effect of the choice of convection coefficients on the precision of the solution, since the primary motivation for using analytical solutions is the precision offered. An investigation is made in this study to determine the effects of the choices of large and small convection coefficients on the precision of the analytical solutions generated by the general convective formulation. Results are provided, in tablular and graphical form, to illustrate the effects of the choices of convection coefficients on the precision of the general analytical solution.

Step bearings are frequently used in industry for better load capacity. Analytical solutions to the Rayleigh step bearing and a rectangular slider with a finite width are available in literature, but none for a fan-shaped thrust step bearing. This study starts with a known solution to the Laplace equation in a cylindrical coordinate system, which is in the form of infinite summation. An analytical solution to pressure is derived in this paper for hydrodynamic lubrication problems encountered in the fan-shaped step bearing. The presented solutions can be useful for designers to maximize bearing performance as well as for researchers to benchmark numerical lubrication models.

An exact analytical model of frequency-variable piezoelectric stack transducers is proposed, and their dynamic characteristics are studied in this article. Based on the linear piezoelasticity theory, the dynamic analytical solution is first derived, and then its correctness is validated by comparing it with the results of a special example in the previous literature and the ones of the experimental study. The effects of the tuning resistance and the layer number of the active element on the dynamic characteristics are discussed. Numerical results show that tuning the resistance and the layer number of the active element can enable the multi-frequency characteristics of the piezoelectric stack transducers. A proper layer number of the active element can minimize the short-circuited resonance frequency and the open-circuited anti-resonance frequency. These findings provide guidelines to design and optimize the piezoelectric stack transducers, which have promising potential in developing the multi-frequency Langevin transducers for some underwater sound and ultrasonic applications, such as ultrasonic cleaning, ultrasonic chemistry, and sonar radiators.
