Abstract

For its usage in simulation-based design processes a precise knowledge of the employed material properties is inevitable. In the case of piezoelectric ceramics, the provided material parameters often suffer from large uncertainties and even inconsistencies since the standardised measurement procedure needs several specimens to determine a single set of material parameters. In contrast, the presented measurement set-up allows to calculate material parameters using one unique disc-shaped specimen with an optimised electrode topology. Using an inverse problem approach, fitting material parameters can be found using an optimisation procedure.

Zusammenfassung

Um bei simulationsgestützten Designprozessen verlässliche Ergebnisse zu erhalten, ist die genaue Kenntnis der Eigenschaften der verwendeten Materialien unerlässlich. Im Falle piezoelektrischer Keramiken sind die vom Hersteller zur Verfügung gestellten Angaben oft mit großen Unsicherheiten belegt oder sogar inkonsistent. Dies resultiert hauptsächlich aus der Tatsache, dass für das standardisierte Messverfahren für einen vollständigen Materialparametersatz Messungen an unterschiedlich prozessierten Probekörpern durchgeführt werden müssen. Das hier vorgestellte Verfahren nutzt im Gegensatz dazu nur eine einzelne Piezokeramik-Scheibe mit einer angepassten Elektrodentopologie. Mit Hilfe eines inversen Messverfahrens können so Materialparameter gefunden werden, die eine optimale Übereinstimmung zwischen Messung und Simulation ermöglichen.
