DC motor employed with Piezoelectric

DC motor employed with Piezoelectric

This chapter presents the electromechanical
technique for the
piezoelectric PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate).
The electromechanical characteristic of the
studied PZT would be analyzed based on
experiments while the investigation of the
energy generation was shown in Figure 6.1
which used a DC motor which employed as
the mechanical force source. It used to
control the action which would make contacts to one of the piezoelectric PZT arm
at the frequency 1 Hz. The output voltage
waveform, VP, generated from the PZT is
observed, investigated and measured the
value at each touching step.
