Analysis of a Rectangular Ceramic Plate in Electrically Forced Thickness-Twist Vibration As a Piezoelectric Transformer

Jiashi Yang, Jinjin Liu, and Jiangyu Li

ABSTRACT A rectangular ceramic plate with appropriate electrical load and operating mode is analyzed for piezoelectric transformer application. An exact solution from the three-dimensional equations of linear piezoelectricity is obtained. The solution simulates the real operating situation of a transformer as a vibrating piezoelectric body connected to a circuit. Transforming ratio, input admittance, and efficiency of the transformer are obtained.
