Analysis of rosen piezoelectric transformers with a varying cross-section
1Department of Mechanics, School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Abstract:
We study the effects of a varying cross-section on the performance of Rosen piezoelectric transformers operating with length extensional modes of rods. A theoretical analysis is performed using an extended version of a one-dimensional model developed in a previous paper. Numerical results based on the theoretical analysis are presented.
