The P-878 DuraAct Power piezo patch transducer from PI Ceramic uses an operating voltage of only -20 to 120V compared to the high driving voltages of 250 to 1000V typically used with alternative ...

Like all ceramics, piezo ceramics are brittle materials that are well suited to handling compressive loads but are highly sensitive to bending, shear and tensile loads. A number of mechanical ...

P-876 piezo composite patch transducers work as an actuator, sensor, and energy source. They can be applied to curved surfaces, tolerating bending radii as low as 20 mm. The transducers are made by ...

Able to operate as an actuator, sensor, or energy source, the P-876 piezo composite patch transducer consists of a piezoceramic foil sandwidched between two conductive film layers and embedded in a ...

Before humans discovered ultrasound for a variety of medical, technical and military applications, nature had perfected it over millions of years for navigation under and above water. Dolphins and ...
