6 April 2007Blocked force and free displacement characterization of PMN-32%PT stacks
A comparison of stack load-line (including blocked force and free displacement) as well as dynamic response of two
single crystal PMN-32%PT stacks is provided in this study. The first stack is a 7mm diameter by 0.5mm thickness 60
layer single crystal stack while the second stack is a 6mm diameter by 0.3mm thickness 100 layer single crystal stack.
Blocked force and free displacement measurements were both performed under DC driving conditions. Free
displacement measurements showed that under 500V driving conditions displacements approaching 87&mgr;m (~2500ppm)
and 48&mgr;m (~1450ppm) were obtained for the 6mm and 7mm diameter stacks, respectively. Experimental blocked force
measurements correlated well with theoretical predictions with experimental values approaching 709N and 685N for the
6mm and 7mm diameter stacks, respectively. The error between the theoretical predictions and experimental values was
attributed to the linear load line assumption in the theoretical model whereas the stack stiffness is dependent upon the
applied force. Dynamic measurements performed under a pre-stress of 4MPa indicated an increase in the strain at
frequencies above 500Hz for driving frequencies up to 1000Hz. This was unexpected as the PMN stack resonance was
calculated to be on the order of several kHz.
