Abstract:
This paper is about the modeling of piezoelectric transformer in nonlinear behavior conditions. In the frame of applications with high output loads, nonlinear behavior be comes non-negligible. First, the origins of nonlinearities and theoretical approaches are preliminarily discussed. Then, the model is developed for a typical Rosen-type transformer and experimental investigations are presented. The results are used to confirm the validity of the analytical model and the methodology to express the terms added to the typical constitutive piezoelectric relations.

Types Of Transformers
If the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary winding to that of the primary winding is greater than one, then the transformer is said to be a step-up transformer. In a step-up transformer, the voltage at the secondary winding is greater than the voltage applied at the primary winding.
However, if this ratio is less than one, the transformer is said to be a step-down...
