    摘要: A serpentine cross-section piezoelectric linear actuator includes a unitary, densified, rigid, monolithic piezoelectric or electrostrictive ceramic body, the body including a top, four sides generally normal to and interconnected with the top, a base generally normal to and interconnected with the sides, and two or more ceramic layers including a top ceramic layer providing the top, a bottom ceramic layer providing the bottom, and, optionally, one or more intermediate ceramic layers, the layers being disposed parallel to and superimposed over one another. Each ceramic layer except the top ceramic layer is joined at a first side to one of the ceramic layers adjacent thereto by a first ceramic bridge and each ceramic layer except the bottom ceramic layer is joined at a second side opposite the first side to another of the ceramic layers adjacent thereto by a second ceramic bridge. First and second cavities extend into the ceramic body from the first and second sides, respectively, the first cavities alternating with the second cavities in the ceramic body, so that the ceramic body has a serpentine cross-section. The body further includes a first electrode and a second electrode, each of an electrically conductive material. The first and second electrodes are disposed along and bonded to the first and second sides, respectively, of the body for activation of the actuator. The actuator may be poled and electroded in, e.g., a d.sub.33, d.sub.15, or d.sub.31, configuration for linear expansion of the actuator.

    摘要: A new and improved fused silica radome is discussed. The radome has a density equal to or greater than 95 percent of theoretical density, an average bend strength equal to or greater than 10 Kpsi, a thermal expansion of about 0.3.times.10.sup.-6 .degree. C., a dielectric constant of about 3.8 at X-Band frequencies, a loss tangent of about 0.002 at X-Band frequencies, an average modulus of rupture greater than 10 Kpsi from room temperature to 1000.degree. C., and no crystalline phase present. The radome is made by an arc fusion process in which a quartz powder is placed within a graphite mold, then shaped by centrifugal force as the mold is rotated. An arc is then struck between electrodes within the mold cavity. The quartz powder fuses to form a dense silica radome which is removed from the mold after the fusion occurs.

    摘要: A multilayer capacitor includes a unitary, net-shape molded dielectric ceramic body having first and second cavities molded into at least one side to divide the ceramic body into a plurality of ceramic layers disposed generally parallel to the top. The first cavities alternate with the second cavities in the ceramic body. Each of the ceramic layers except an uppermost and a lowermost of the ceramic layers is joined at one edge to one ceramic layer adjacent thereto by a first ceramic bridge and at the same or a different edge to another ceramic layer adjacent thereto by a second ceramic bridge. The first and second cavities are filled with one or more materials to form first and second electrically conductive electrode layers, respectively, each electrode layer being bonded to the ceramic layers adjacent thereto. The first electrode layers are electrically interconnected to provide a first set of electrode layers, and the second electrode layers are electrically interconnected to provide a second set of electrode layers alternating with and electrically isolated from the first set electrode layers in the body.

    摘要: An actuator includes a ceramic body having a base and an array of tube-shaped or blade-pair-shaped piezoelectric or electrostrictive ceramic elements defining an enclosure and integral with the base. A first electrode contacts the inner surfaces of walls of the elements, while a second electrode contacts the wall outer surfaces. The actuator is driven for d.sub.31 mode or d.sub.15 mode vibration of the walls. The wall vibration is transmitted to a desired medium via a vibration transmission means, e.g., a compliant polymer filler material of Shore A30 to Shore D75 filling the enclosure and bonded to the walls. Alternatively, a stiff cover plate may be used to transmit the tube wall vibration to a desired medium. An acoustic sensor device is also described.

    摘要: A transducer including a ceramic body having a base and an array of tube-shaped piezoelectric or electrostrictive ceramic elements integral with the base. A first electrode contacts the tube wall inner surface, while a second electrode contacts the tube wall outer surface and is electrically isolated from the first electrode and from the lower surface of the transducer. The first electrode extends onto the transducer lower surface for electrical connection to a power source for driving the transducer across the tube walls for d.sub.31 mode vibration of the tube walls. A stiff cover plate may be used to transmit the tube wall vibration to a desired medium. The ceramic base may be removed if an electrically insulating layer is provided between the elements at the lower surface of the transducer. The insulating layer and tube wall upper edges then electrically isolate the second electrode from the first electrode and the transducer lower surface. In this alternative, the first and second electrodes are provided by a stiff conductive polymer matrix filling the tube-shaped elements and spaces between the elements. The matrix upper surface transmits the tube wall vibration to a desired medium without a cover plate. The first electrode extends onto the composite body lower surface for electrical connection to a source of electric power for driving the transducer across the tube walls for d.sub.31 mode vibration of the tube walls. A net-shape molding method for producing the transducer is also described.

    摘要: A piezoelectric acoustic sensor including stress-transferring arches to protect the elements at the lateral side surfaces. An array of parallel rod-like or blade-shaped elements is formed from a dense, poled, strongly piezoelectric or electrostrictive ceramic material. The array is encapsulated in a matrix, e.g., a polymeric matrix, to form a two-phase ceramic/polymer composite body exhibiting 1-3 or 2-2 connectivity. The upper and lower ends of the elements are exposed at upper and lower planar surfaces of the composite body to electrically contact upper and lower electrodes. A stiff portion, e.g., a face plate, extends across each of the upper and lower electroded surfaces, each extending to the edge surfaces of the composite body. A convex-shaped, stress-transferring arch is rigidly anchored to at least one edge of each stiff portion. Hinge portions of each arch at the edges of the stiff portions has a thickness of 0-10 mm. The arches are formed of a material having a stiffness of at least Shore D 80, and are shaped and disposed to direct ambient lateral stress toward the stiff portions, decoupling the ceramic elements from ambient lateral stress and forming a stress resistant piezoelectric acoustic sensor.

    摘要: A broad bandwidth electro-mechanical transducer is shaped into a wedge of varying thickness, with a plurality of PZT elements or sheets embedded in an inactive polymer.
