A High Sensitivity, Phase Sensitive d33 Meter for Complex Piezoelectric Constant Measurement

Abstract
Based on the direct piezoelectric effect and signal comparison method, a quasi-static, high sensitivity, phase sensitive d 33 meter has been developed. The system is capable of measuring the complex piezoelectric d 33 constant down to about 1 pC/N and has a phase resolution of ±0.05°. The advantage of this apparatus is that its operation is almost as easy as that of the commercial Berlincourt d 33 meter, hence, it is suitable for everyday routine usage.
