Abstract
In this paper, a piezoelectric ceramic thin ring with an inner metal disc is studied. The radial vibrations of a metal thin disc and a piezoelectric ceramic thin ring are analysed. Their electro-mechanical equivalent circuits in radial vibration are obtained. Based on the electro-mechanical equivalent circuits and the radial boundary conditions, the composite electro-mechanical equivalent circuit of the combination of a piezoelectric ceramic thin ring and a metal disc is obtained and the resonance and anti-resonance frequency equations are derived. The relationship between the resonance frequency, the anti-resonance frequency, the effective electro-mechanical coupling coefficient and the geometrical dimensions is analysed. The resonance and anti-resonance frequencies are measured using the Agilent Precision Impedance Analyzer. It is illustrated that the measured radial resonance and anti-resonance frequencies are in good agreement with the theoretical results.
