Abstract: | Advanced aeronautic and space structures need active components that can function at high frequencies and temperatures. Piezoelectric
materials can provide frequency response but their use at elevated temperatures is limited. The reason for the lack of insertion
of piezoelectric for high temperature active component and sensors are two fold. First, the database of piezoelectric properties
that describe the piezoelectric constants is lacking for high temperatures engineering applications. Most studies measure
the dielectric constants to determine the Curie temperature but do not provide piezoelectric coefficients as a function of
temperature. Second, piezoelectric materials with Curie temperature (T
C) exceeding 500 °C are sought for aeronautics and aerospace applications. This investigation describes a measurement system
that captures the impedance dependence upon temperature for piezoelectric materials. Commercially available lead zirconate
titanate (PZT) was studied as to determine the piezoelectric activity to define the operating envelope with respect to temperature.
The elastic properties , piezoelectric coefficients , dielectric properties , and electro-mechanical coupling factors were determined as a function of temperature. The coupling factor k
33
was found to be relatively constant to 200 °C and exhibit slight temperature dependence above 200 °C. The temperature sensitivity
for both piezoelectric coefficient and electromechanical coupling factor were very small; the slopes and Δk
33/k
33 were found to be 0.01 and (−0.07) respectively in the range of 120 to 200 °C. This measurement technique will populate databases
that describe the piezoelectric properties of commercially available PZT piezoelectric materials. It can also facilitate the
assessment of new piezoelectric materials that are currently being developed for higher temperature applications.
