Find Resonance Frequency! Use The App - APCPiezoCalc

EASY CALCULATIONS - iPad, iPhone, iPod       

   

Why develop an App? So that you would be able to easily compute the most common physical and electrical properties of our products without the need to memorize formulas or look up material properties.  

To make calculations easier, APCPiezoCalc is preloaded with the material properties of APC's  piezoelectric materials. To allow for a broader use, the user is also able to add custom material properties. It includes calculations for Plates, Discs, Rings and Cylinders.    

What is APCPiezoCalc?

An interactive mobile application that allows the user to easily calculate the frequency constant, resonance frequency, capacitance, dielectric constant, static displacement, and static voltage of many piezoelectric ceramic elements.

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE

Of Piezoelectric Constants        

   

     The piezoelectric charge constant, d, the piezoelectric voltage constant, g, and the permittivity (dielectric constant),

ε, are temperature dependent, but these relationships can be compensated for in the design of the sensor. Connecting a capacitor in parallel with the sensor eliminates the effects of temperature on output voltage. The increase in the total capacitance of the system will be accompanied by an equivalent reduction in the temperature coefficient for the total capacitance. Because g = d / εT(εT = permittivity at constant stress), the temperature coefficient for g is assumed to be the difference between the temperature coefficients for d and εT, and output voltage will be essentially constant over a wide temperature range.
