Environmental effect and treatment of urban construction in geotechnical engineering

The interact of construction and circumstance becomes more and more obviously,and research on it is essentially urgent.The way to solve it,first it relies on quantifiable evaluation to the effects done by different construction techniques,then,choose related techniques which cause less damage according to the endurance of circumstance.

Temperature-insensitive KNN-based ceramics by elevating O-T phase transition temperature and crystal texture

The inferior temperature stability of piezoelectric response is the main drawback of KNN-based ceramics.Here,the Ba-doped 0.97(K0.48Na0.52)(Nb0.96Sb0.04)O3-0.03Bax(Bi0.5Ag0.5)1-xZrO3(abbreviated as KNNSBxBAZ)textured ceramics were prepared by the template grain growth(TGG)method.Excellent comprehensive properties(d33¼(406±15)pC/N,TC=274℃,strain is 0.17%)were achieved in KNNSBxBAZ textured ceramics with x=0.2.Meanwhile,its piezoelectric and strain properties also show superior temperature stability(d33 maintained within±20%change in awide temperature range from 25℃to 200℃and strain variation was less than 5%in the temperature range from room temperature to 165℃).The high O-T phase transition temperature(TO-T is 110℃)induced by incorporating Ba ions accounts for the enhanced temperature stability of piezoelectric properties.In addition,the crystal texture always maintains the contribution of piezoelectric anisotropy to the piezoelectric properties during elevated temperature,which significantly improved the temperature stability of piezoelectric properties.This work provides an effective strategy for simultaneously achieving high piezoelectric response and excellent temperature stability in KNN-based ceramics.

Enhanced piezoelectric properties and temperature stability in KNN-based textured ceramics

Considering the advantages of high Curie temperature and environment-friendly nature of KNN piezoelectric ceramics,the limitation of weak piezoelectric response and their temperature sensitivity to applications is worth exploring.Herein,the<001>textured(1-x)(K_(0.5)Na_(0.5))(Nb0.96Sb0.04)O3-x(Bi_(0.5)Na_(0.5))HfO_(3)(x=0.01-0.045)lead-free ceramics were synthesized by templated grain-growth method.The high piezoelectric performance(d33 of 474 pC/N and strain of 0.21%)and excellent temperature stability(unipolar strain maintained within 4.3%change between 30℃and 165℃)were simultaneously achieved in the textured KNNS-0.03BNH ceramics.The high piezoelectric performance can be attributed to the summation of the crystallographic anisotropy and phase structure contributions in<001>textured ceramics.The superior temperature stability of piezoelectric properties can be interpreted by the contribution of crystal anisotropy to piezoelectric properties reduces the effect of phase transition on piezoelectric properties deterioration.This study provides an effective strategy for simultaneously achieving high piezoelectric properties and superior temperature stability in KNN-based textured ceramics.
