HOW TO FIND THE VIBRATION DISPLACEMENT PLOT AT THE RESONANT FREQUENCY OF A PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIAL

I WANT TO STUDY THE CONVERSE PIEZOELECTRIC EFFECT.I AM UNABLE TO CALCULATE THE RESONANT FREQUENCY OF THE PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIAL.SO THAT I CANNOT CALCULATE MAXIMUM VIBRATION DISPLACEMENT.THERE WAS ANA EIGEN FREQUENCY ANALYSIS.BUT I AM UNABLE TO EXTRACT THE RESONANT FREQUENCY OF THE MATERIAL.PLEASE HELP ME TO CALCULATE THIS.

Hi Praveen

even i am trying to figure out the resonant frequency ( lowest mode i.e. breathing mode ) of a piezoelectric cylindrical transducer. But I am not able to do so.

according to theory the lowest mode of a cylindrical transducer should be c(air) / 2*(pi)*a
where a is radius
c(air) 330 m/s

Do you know how to proceed


Thanks,
Harshada

Hi

not sure I understand your demand, if you do an eigenfrequency analysis, the displacements you get are arbitrary values, scalable depending on your normalisation settings, they can only be used for relative shape comparison, no absolute value are of use.
And this is a FEATURE not a bug, based on the way one do eigenfrequency calculations

Good luck

Hey Ivar,
I am facing the same problem. Can I calculate the displacement on resonance frequency without applying any load or force?
