ABSTRACT

In this study, the relationship between the generated voltages of piezoelectric ceramics Cymbal transducer to which impact mechanical energy was applied was studied. The generated voltages of the piezoelectric ceramics Cymbal transducer increased as the applied mechanical energy were increased. At a single impact mechanical energy, the generated voltages of the piezoelectric ceramics Cymbal transducer were much higher than the voltages of an uncapped piezoelectric ceramics disk. The generated voltages of the piezoelectric ceramics Cymbal transducer depended on the geometric parameters and the metal thickness of the end-cap. The generated voltage of piezoelectric ceramics Cymbal transducer with thick metal end-cap was lower than the voltage of transducers with thin metal end-cap.
