The forecasted restriction of lead containing materials in piezoelectric devices has created
vast interest into the development of alternatives, ie lead-free systems. Since the discovery …

This contribution presents a multidisciplinary review of the so-called field-dependent
nonlinear piezoelectricity. It starts with an introduction that poses the literature analysis …

A magnetoelectric (ME) composite is designed with a face-shear 36-mode PMN-PZT single
crystal and a Metglas laminate structure to enhance the ME coupling properties and exhibit …

Piezoelectric ceramics exhibit three conventional piezoelectric coefficients, ie, d 33, d 31, d
15, due to their∞ mm crystal symmetry. Unconventional piezoelectric coefficients, such as d …

This study proposes enhancement in piezoelectric performance by tuning the poling
direction in polycrystalline ceramics. Theoretically, it has been proven that transverse …

A tetragonal (Ba, Ca)(Zr, Ti) O3 (BCZT) single crystal was grown by a flux method, and the
piezoelectric coefficient (d 33) was characterized. The piezoelectric response was proved to …

Low‐temperature cofired ceramic technology is the prerequisite for producing advanced
integrated piezoelectric devices that enable modern micro‐electromechanical systems …

A series of ester‐based thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) and bismuth sodium
titanate polycrystalline oxide (Bi0. 5Na0. 5TiO3, BNT) co‐blended poly (vinylidene …

Piezoelectric metamaterials have received extensive attention in the fields of robotics,
nondestructive testing, energy harvesting, etc. Natural piezoelectric ceramics possess only …

We present the development of a 6× 6 piezoelectric array sensor for measuring elasticity
and force. The proposed sensor employs an impedance measurement technique, sensing …
