Abstract

The results of our analysis of a set of lead zirconate titanate (PZT-5H)/hard polyurethane 1 - 3 piezoelectric composites produced by injection molding are presented. Two groups of samples with 15 and 30 volume percent PZT were analyzed using impedance resonance techniques. Results from the thickness, radial, length thickness, thickness shear, and the length extensional modes allow the determination of the effective material constants. The complete effective (s^E, d, (epsilon) ^T) matrix is presented for the two compositions. The limitations of using resonance techniques to determine composite material properties are discussed.
