A Finite Element Bond Graph Model for the Piezoelectric Thickness Vibrator

Friday, October 29, 1993 4:00 p.m. Won-Kyu Moon Department of Mechanical Engineering The University of Texas at Austin A finite element equivalent model for the thickness vibrator is formulated. This formulation leads to a new definition of the generalized displacements for a contin­uous system. The newly defined coordinates are easily interpreted physically and easily used…
