设计了该压电纤维复合驱动器的结构,包括叉指电极板、粘结层和压电纤维复合层三部分。采用排列–浇铸法制备了柔性的层状压电纤维复合驱动器。测试了铌锌锆钛酸铅(PZN-PZT)陶瓷的电学性能及力学性能,理论推导了压电纤维复合材料的压电性能,并采用基于LabVIEW的动态应变系统测试了驱动器的应变性能。结果表明,PZN-PZT陶瓷的压电常数d33为520 pC/N,居里温度Tc为320℃,弹性柔顺系数s33为20.5×10–12m2/N。压电纤维复合材料的理论压电常数d33为509 pC/N,d31为–156 pC/N。在300 V正弦交变电压作用下,驱动器可以产生100με的纵向应变和58με的横向应变,即纵横向伸缩分别可达3.6和1.7μm,说明该驱动器具有较高的机电性能。

The structure of piezoceramic fiber composite actuator was designed, consisting of interdigitated electrode plates, binder and piezoceramic fiber composite layer. The flexible, planar piezoceramic fiber composite actuators were prepared by arrangement-casting method. The electrical and mechanical properties of the PZN-PZT ceramics were tested. Piezoelectric properties of piezoceramic fiber composite were estimated by isostrain mixing formulas. The strain properties of the actuator were tested using dynamic response system based on LabVIEW. The piezoelectric constant d33, Curie temperature Tc and elastic compliance coefficient S33 of the PZN-PZT ceramics are found to be 520 pC/N, 320℃ and 20.5x10-12 m2/N, respectively. Theory of piezoelectric constants d33 and d31 of piezoceramic fiber composite are 509 and -156 pC/N, respectively. Test results show that the actuator is capable of producing large, directional in-plane strains. 100 parts-per-million longitudinal strain and 58 parts-per-million transverse strain were generated under a 300 V peak-to-peak applied voltage cycle. The stretching of the longitudinal and transverse directions are 3.6 μm and 1.7 μm, respectively, indicating the actuator has a high electromechanical property.
