Abstract: A device includes a high-voltage amplifier to amplify a bursted signal and may couple to a driver circuit to drive a piezoelectric actuator. During the on-time of the bursted signal, a feedback circuit may compensate for non-idealities in the system and may equalize the signal at the actuator and the output of the high-voltage amplifier. During the off-time of the bursted signal, a signal conditioning circuit may sense a difference signal between the signal at the actuator and the signal at the high-voltage amplifier output and may interpret this difference signal as pressure applied to the piezoelectric actuator.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring the structural integrity of a vehicle. In particular, systems and methods are provided for using transducers positioned at various location in and on a vehicle to measure parameters related vehicle structural health. In various implementations, the integrity of the vehicle frame and the integrity of the vehicle body are monitored using a multi-axis accelerometer and/or microphone. The use of transducers for monitoring can replace time-consuming and expensive manual inspections.

Abstract: A system includes a piezoelectric capacitor assembly and signal processing circuitry coupled to the piezoelectric capacitor assembly. The piezoelectric capacitor assembly includes a piezoelectric member and piezoelectric capacitors located at respective lateral positions along the piezoelectric member. Each piezoelectric capacitor includes: (1) a respective portion of the piezoelectric member, (2) a first electrode, and (3) a second electrode. The first and second electrodes are positioned on opposite side of the piezoelectric member. The piezoelectric capacitors include piezoelectric force-measuring elements (PFEs). The PFEs are configured to output voltage signals between the respective first electrode and the respective second electrode in accordance with a time-varying strain at the respective portion of the piezoelectric member between the respective first electrode and the respective second electrode resulting from a low-frequency mechanical deformation. The signal processing circuitry is configured to read at least some of the PFE voltage signals.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a piezoelectric device having at least one piezoelectric element, which has a support plane oriented to a force introduction element, wherein in the event of a thermal loading of the piezoelectric device in the support plane, expansion differences between the piezoelectric element and the force introduction element occur. To compensate for shear loadings, at least one transition element is arranged between the piezoelectric element and the force introduction element, the E-module of which is smaller than the E-module of the piezoelectric element in the support plane.
