Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a vibration analysis method of a unimorph type piezoelectric energy harvester,

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a vibration analysis method of a piezoelectric energy harvester, and more particularly, to a vibration analysis method of a piezoelectric energy harvest, which can be applied to a structural analysis field utilizing CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) Applicable to products based on piezoelectric energy harvesters such as power generation systems, wearable generators, remote sensors, animal tracking devices. Before the energy harvester is actually designed, the natural vibration characteristics can be predicted in advance by using the analytical model at the conceptual design stage.

The conventional model for the piezoelectric energy harvester is based on the Euler Bernoulli beam theory. The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory results in inaccurate vibration analysis when applied to piezoelectric materials of short length. In this case, the criterion for the accuracy judgment is that the ratio between the length and the thickness of the material is usually set at 20: 1. Therefore, as the ratio becomes smaller than 20, the difference of the analysis results gradually increases.

Also, the conventional model is concentrated on the analysis of the material of the bimorph type. Generally, the cantilever type piezoelectric energy harvester is classified into two types. One type is a bimorph type in which a ceramic piezoelectric element is bonded to both sides of a metal auxiliary material, and the other is a ceramic piezoelectric element in an upper surface type Of the Unimorph type. Unimorph type bonded to one side has asymmetric material distribution, unlike Bimorph type which has symmetrical material distribution in cross section in the thickness direction because it is bonded to both sides. The conventional vibration analysis model can not reflect the tensile-bending ductility effect caused by this asymmetry.

An embodiment of the present invention is to provide a vibration analysis method of a piezoelectric energy harvester which can obtain a relatively accurate analysis result even when the ratio between the length of the material and the thickness is small.

One embodiment of the present invention is to provide a vibration analysis method of a piezoelectric energy harvester that can reflect a ductile effect between a tensile vibration and a bending vibration.

A method for vibration analysis of a piezoelectric energy harvester according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: modeling a piezoelectric energy harvester; Calculating an equation of motion related to a natural vibration characteristic including a coupling effect between a tensile vibration and a bending vibration on the basis of the Timoshenko beam theory for the piezoelectric energy harvester; And calculating a natural frequency of a center axis, a central axis of mass, and a neutral axis of the piezoelectric energy harvester based on the equation of motion, wherein the piezoelectric energy harvester has a metal auxiliary member whose one end is fixed to the base, And a piezoelectric layer formed on one surface of the layer, wherein the piezoelectric layer is formed of zirconate titanate.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, by using a piezoelectric energy harvester in which a piezoelectric layer formed of zirconate titanate is used, accurate results can be obtained irrespective of the ratio between the length and thickness of the material, and tensile vibration and bending vibration It is possible to provide a vibration analysis method of a piezoelectric energy harvester which can reflect the ductility effect between the piezoelectric energy harvester.

In step 110, the piezoelectric energy harvester is modeled.

A piezoelectric energy harvester according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Fig.

In step 120, the kinetic equations relating to the natural vibration characteristics including the ductility effect between the tensile vibration and the bending vibration are calculated based on the Timothy Senko beam theory for the piezoelectric energy harvester.

It can be applied to products based on piezoelectric energy harvester such as road power generation system, wearable generator, remote sensor, animal tracking device. Before the energy harvester is actually designed, the natural vibration characteristics can be predicted in advance by using the analytical model at the conceptual design stage.

In step 130, the natural frequency of the center axis, the central axis of mass and the neutral axis of the piezoelectric energy harvester is calculated based on the equation of motion.

The vibration analysis method of the piezoelectric energy harvester according to the embodiment of the present invention is different from the conventional method in which the vibration axis of the piezoelectric energy harvester has to be based on the neutral axis, The results can also be obtained. It is also possible to acquire the natural frequency varying due to the ductility between the tensile vibration and the bending vibration. The proposed analytical model can be applied to the conceptual design of a piezoelectric energy harvester.

2 is a view illustrating a shape of a piezoelectric energy harvester vibration analysis model according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The configuration in the figure is a diagram for explaining the structure of the piezoelectric energy harvester.

The piezoelectric energy harvester may include a metal auxiliary material having one end fixed to the base and formed of a metal component and a piezoelectric layer formed on one surface of the lower layer, and the piezoelectric layer may be formed of lead zirconate titanate (PZT). have.

That is, the modeling shape of the piezoelectric energy harvester contemplated in the present invention is a cantilever shape in which PZT, a piezoelectric element of a ceramic material, is bonded to the upper layer of the metal auxiliary material. Unlike the previous model which used Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, Timoshenko beam theory was used. We obtained a model that can accurately analyze the vibration of short beams. In addition, this analysis model can capture the natural frequencies that vary depending on the ductility between the tensile and bending vibrations that appear in the Unimorph model. In addition, unlike the existing analytical model, which can only be applied at a fixed position of the neutral axis, the position of the reference axis can be parameterized and arbitrarily set.

Unlike the previous study, which had to be based on the neutral axis, the analytical model proposed in this invention can obtain the results even when the reference is placed at an arbitrary position regardless of the reference position. It is also possible to acquire the natural frequency varying due to the ductility between the tensile vibration and the bending vibration. The proposed analytical model can be applied to the conceptual design of a piezoelectric energy harvester.

In the figure, the cross-section is a view for explaining the center axis, the central axis of mass and the neutral axis.

3 is a view for explaining a vibration analysis method of a piezoelectric energy harvester according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the method of vibrating the piezoelectric energy harvester first models the shape of the piezoelectric beam, then derives the equation of motion of the piezoelectric beam, creates the IN-house code, and performs the vibration analysis.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of natural frequency results predicted through a proposed analytical model according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, it is possible to determine the physical property and size of the molten metal and the ceramic to be used in the analysis, and to analyze natural frequencies of the center axis, the central axis of mass, and the neutral axis.

The present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
