Abstract

Non-linear behaviors of multilayer piezoelectric ceramic actuator (MCA) were investigated under electrical and mechanical stress. DC 100 V bias was applied to the MCA to obtain displacement. Laser vibrometer, which using Doppler effect, was employed to characterize displacement caused by $d_{33}$ mode of MCA. To understand this non-linear behavior of MCA, displacement was measured and compared under different load states. By increasing load, electric field-induced strain and piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$) of MCA was decreased. We attribute this phenomenon to the domain wall motion and depoling of MCA under heavy load.
