Modelling of Piezoelectric Effect

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Can anybody give me a suggestion how to inject a pressure source on my Piezo solid? So the wave have to pass through the Piezo solid and produces a electric output from my Piezo solid.

Hi

what about considering the Load BC (boundary Condition case) mostly it is expressed as pressure or a pressure over a depth (in 2D), check the units, as a force applied to a surface results ina pressure.

hope it helps

Thanks and appreciated for you suggestion. But in my modelling I should use a pressure wave that have to penetrate in to my Piezo Solid. Do I have to use pressure acoustics mode or PDE wave equation mode.

Thanks man

Hi

OK if you need "p" as dependent variable, I beleive they are rather similar, one is build on the other no?
[g]=>[c]=>[aco ~= acpr]
it depends on the variables you already have and the extra pre-defined physics you might find handy in a [acpr] w.r.t an [aco].
Probably the [acpr] is the most advanced, I expect (but I'm not 100% sure in V3.5a would have to look it up in detail) that its independent if you fetch it from the Accoustic, Structural or MEMS module.

Good luck
Ivar
