Title: Piezoelectric theory for finite element analysis of ultrasonic motors

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/650248· OSTI ID:650248

The authors present the fundamental equations of piezoelectricity and references. They show how a second form of the equations and a second set of coefficients can be found, through inversions involving the elasticity tensor. They show how to compute the clamped permittivity matrix from the unclamped matrix. The authors list the program pzansys.ftn and present examples of its use. This program does the conversions and calculations needed by the finite element program ANSYS.
