AEI602.36 1
 Objectives

On the completion of the period you would be able

to understand

• Piezo- electric materials.

AEI602.36 2
 Types of Generation

Ultrasonics can be produced by

– Magnetosctriction generator.
– Piezoelectric generator.

• Piezo electric generator produces ultrasonic frequency

by means of piezo electric effect.

AEI602.36 3
 Piezo – Electric Effect
• Piezo-electric effect takes place in piezo-electric
materials.

• Piezo-electric effect occurs only in non-conductive

materials.

 Piezo- electric materials…

• Piezo-electric materials can be divided into two main

groups

- Crystals

- Ceramics.

AEI602.36 6
 Piezo-electric materials…

• The examples of piezoelectric materials are quartz,

bariumtitanate, lead niobate, lead zirconate titanate etc.

• The mostly used piezo-electric material is quartz.

AEI602.36 7
 Piezo- electric materials…

• The piezo-electric material has the ability to produce a

voltage output in response to an applied stress.

• The piezo-electric material has the ability to produce a

strain output in response to an applied voltage.
