A quasi‐31‐vibrator method for the characterization of piezoelectric full matrix parameters using a single sample

Abstract

AbstractThe full matrix parameters of a piezoelectric material are crucial for designing and evaluating piezoelectric devices. However, due to their inverse problematic nature, commonly used single‐sample characterization methods heavily depend on the accuracy of initial values and mode matching. In this paper, we propose a quasi‐31‐vibrator method to directly evaluate these parameters by designing the sample geometry and establishing the relationship equation between the parameters. This approach completely bypasses the need for characteristic spectrum simulation and mode identification processes. Subsequently, we tested the full matrix parameters of PZT‐5H ceramics and compared the simulated impedance spectra with the measured ones. The presence of well‐fitting spectra validates the feasibility of the method. This method will contribute to characterize the parameters of new piezoelectric materials and advance the intelligent implementation of measuring full matrix parameters.
