A Piezoceramic Tube

This model performs a static 2D axisymmetric analysis of a piezoelectric actuator using the 2D Piezo Axial Symmetry application mode.

The model contains an analysis of a radially polarized piezoelectric tube as described by S. Peelamedu and others. One application area where radially polarized tubes are employed is in nozzles for fluid control in ink-jet printers.

This model studies two cases, each of which studies different boundary conditions. The first case represents the inverse piezoelectric effect, and the second case represents the direct piezoelectric effect.

The deformed shape and radial displacement due to the radial electric field.
