Propagation and filtering of elastic and electromagnetic waves in piezoelectric composite structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this article we discuss the modelling of elastic and electromagnetic wave propagation through one- and two-dimensional structured piezoelectric solids. Dispersion and the effect of piezoelectricity on the group velocity and positions of stop bands are

A theoretical and experimental investigation into multilayered piezoelectric composite transducers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The behaviour of a number of 3-1 connectivity piezoelectric composite plate transducers is presented. The fundamental thickness mode resonance of such devices is found to be contaminated by lateral resonant activity; this is evidenced in the measured and

Active multilayer mirrors for reflectance tuning at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We propose an active multilayer mirror structure for EUV wavelengths which can be adjusted to compensate for reflectance changes. The multilayer structure tunes the reflectance via an integrated piezoelectric layer that can change its dimension due to an

A novel stable nanopositioner based on a single piezoelectric stack: PistolDrive

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2018
We describe a novel stable piezoelectric nanopositioner which just use one piezoelectric stack and one simple driving signal, in which the central shaft is clamped by one BeCu spring and four SiN balls that bonded to the inner wall of the cylindrical ...

Temperature characterisation of an optically-interrogated Rogowski coil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
An investigation into the performance of an optically-interrogated Rogowski coil over temperatures up to 80 °C is presented. Preliminary thermal tests reveal that the sensor response is temperature-dependent and the measurement errors are increased at ...
