A composite aluminum/PZT shear transducer has been tested as a sensor during prototype development. The mechanically amplified flexi-distortional system may improve the dhgh figure of merit by transferring the compressional stress on the device to a lateral shear on the electroceramic element. This type of amplified system is mechanically classified as distortional and, therefore, without volume change. By transforming the hydrostatic stress to transverse strain, as in the flexi-extensional devices, transverse forces can be used to develop shear strain and activate the d15 coefficient. Flexi-distortional devices are tested in order to check for their low frequency sensitivity. Initial Berlincourt tests indicate performance of up to 1200 pC/N for the driver configuration. |
