Abstract
The brittle fracture may occur in the application of piezoelectric ceramics, but the traditional research is still limited to the static fracture of the materials. Based on the improved Hopkinson pressure bar loading system and high-speed photography technology, the experimental study on the fracture behavior of piezoelectric ceramics under impact loading was carried out. The dynamic mechanical and electrical response of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and the possible electric breakdown phenomenon were analyzed. The experimental results show that the output voltage is stable and the maximum output voltage is 889 V when the impact load does not cause the material to fracture. When the material breaks, its macroscopic output voltage fluctuates due to electric breakdown. Combined with the finite element simulation of the impact fracture process, the distribution characteristics of the stress field and electric field near the crack during the fracture process were analyzed. The results show that the sliding between grains formed the crack cavity parallel to the electric field during the impact process. Furthermore, based on the theory of dielectric breakdown, the possibility of electric breakdown in the initial defect and the elliptical cavity formed by the impact is analyzed.
