Analysis of the methods for determining the viscoelastic coefficients of piezoceramic resonators (Q2831351)

The paper deals with the analysis of known and new methods for experimental determination of viscoelastic coefficients of piezoceramic resonators, including the coupling coefficients and tangents of mechanical and piezoelectric losses. A new calculation and experimental technique developed by the author is presented and examples of its application are given. The method is justified by the known problem of radial vibrations of a thin disk with solid electrodes. The idea of alternating voltage measurements in the modernized Mason scheme is further developed. On its basis, a new method is elaborated for the determination of the phase shifts between the admittance components by the cosine rule. Elements of this technique are presented. The experimental data are in good agreement with the calculated values.
