Modeling of a ring rosen-type piezoelectric transformer by Hamilton's principle.

This paper deals with the analytical modeling of a ring Rosen-type piezoelectric transformer. The developed model is based on a Hamiltonian approach, enabling to obtain main parameters and performance evaluation for the first radial vibratory modes. Methodology is detailed, and final results, both the input admittance and the electric potential distribution on the surface of the secondary part, are compared with numerical and experimental ones for discussion and validation.

Modeling and identification of Rosen-type transformer in nonlinear behavior.

This paper is about the modeling of piezoelectric transformer in nonlinear behavior conditions. In the frame of applications with high output loads, nonlinear behavior be comes non-negligible. First, the origins of nonlinearities and theoretical approaches are preliminarily discussed.

Multimodal electromechanical model of piezoelectric transformers by Hamilton's principle.

This work deals with a general energetic approach to establish an accurate electromechanical model of a piezoelectric transformer (PT). Hamilton's principle is used to obtain the equations of motion for free vibrations. The modal characteristics (mass, stiffness, primary and secondary electromechanical conversion factors) are also deduced.
