    摘要: An electroactive device incorporating the invention includes an electroactive ceramic annular substrate having a pair of opposed planar annular surfaces, a hollowed interior region and a thickness aspect. A first cap having a concave shape that extends into the hollowed interior region includes a rim portion, bounding the hollowed interior region, and joined to a first one of the planar surfaces. A second cap having a concave shape that extends into the hollowed interior region includes a rim portion, bounding the hollowed interior region, and joined to a second one of the planar surfaces. A potential measured across the ceramic substrate enables a field change in the ceramic substrate to be sensed, the field change caused by flexure of the ceramic substrate as a result of a pressure applied to the first and second caps.

    摘要: A solid-state tunable transducer has been developed by incorporating an elastically nonlinear material, silicone rubber, into an electroacoustic transducer made from piezoelectric ceramics. The resonant frequency and mechanical Q of the transducer are tuned mechanically by applying a uniaxial compressive stress to the composite. The resonant frequency is tuned electrically by placing a piezoelectric actuator into the composite and varying the magnitude of the d.c. bias.

    摘要: A metal-ceramic device includes an electroactive ceramic substrate having a pair of opposed planar surfaces and a thickness aspect. Conductive electrodes sandwich the ceramic substrate and a first sheet metal cap having a concave shape, a substantially unchanging thickness and a rim is joined to a first planar surface of the ceramic substrate. A second sheet metal cap having a concave shape, a substantially unchanging thickness and a rim is bonded to a second planar surface of the ceramic substrate, the second planar surface opposed to the first planar surface. In an actuator embodiment, a potential is applied across the conductive electrodes to cause an expansion of the ceramic substrate in the thickness dimension and a concomitant contraction in its planar dimensions. The contraction causes a flexure of the sheet metal caps, which flexures are used for actuation purposes. In a sensor embodiment, the sheet metal caps are subjected to a displacement by an instrumentality, and a resulting change in voltage across the ceramic substrate is sensed.

    摘要: This invention describes an acoustic transducer assembly wherein an extremely high figure of merit (d.sub.h g.sub.h) is obtained as a result of converting incoming acoustic axial stress into radial extensional stress thereby multiplying its effect. The piezoelectric active element is encased in a metal sandwich enclosing two semilunar air spaces which allow the device to withstand extremely high hydrostatic pressure yet still respond to low level sound waves when acting as a hydrophone. The mechanical prestress induced by the differential coefficients of expansion between the metal case and the piezoelectric ceramic element also serves to prevent depolarization aging.

    摘要: The metal-ceramic actuator includes an electroactive substrate having at least a pair of opposed planar surfaces and a determined thickness, with the ceramic substrate being poled in its thickness dimension. Conductive electrodes sandwich the ceramic substrate and are bonded to its planar surfaces. Metal caps, each having a concave cavity bounded by a rim, are bonded to both planar surfaces of the ceramic substrate. A potential is applied to the conductive electrodes to cause an expansion of the ceramic substrate in its thickness dimension and a concomitant contraction in its planar dimensions. The contraction creates a flexure of the metal caps, which flexures are used to actuate another instrumentality.
