Optimizing Energy Conversion in a Piezo Disk Using a Controlled Supply of Electrical Load

Abstract

Piezoceramic products are actively used in modern technical devices and appliances. Disk piezoelectric devices are widely used in elements of information systems: in wireless communication, elements of satellite communication, global positioning systems. Among such devices, microwave piezo motors on traveling waves of various types are distinguished, including a motor built on an electromechanical disk converter, which performs non-axisymmetric oscillations under the action of a harmonic electric load. In this study, we perform separation of the electrode coating of the plate with thin diametrical dielectric sections and introduce a time-varying electric potential difference of different amplitude or phase to individual parts of the plate. We study the problem of non-axisymmetric planar oscillations of a piezoceramic disk with thickness polarization and the problem of optimization of the electromechanical coupling coefficient (EMCO) value as a function of an infinite number of parameters in space l2 of square summable sequences.
