Abstract
Piezoelectric materials have received considerable attention in both industry and academia due to the electromechanical effect. Large-signal response $d_{33}^*$ is one of the most important parameters for actuator applications. In the past decades, great efforts have been made in developing lead-free piezoceramics in view of environmental issues. Ever since a large strain was reported on a BNT-BT-KNN ceramics, different approaches are attempted in BNT-BT system to obtain the enhanced piezoelectric effect. For instance, BNT-BT-AN layered composite shows the enhanced $d_{33}^*$ at a FE volume content of ~30\%. \cite{1hang2015large} The coupling effect between different layers is believed to be the origin for this phenomenon. The interface between layers also affects the composite property, especially for BNKT-BA.
In this presentation, a phase field model is established to simulate the layered RE/FE composite. The relaxor model is based on our previous work, in which a Gaussian distributed random field is introduced to represent the chemical disorder.\cite{wang2016phase} For the case of the sharp interface (BNT-BT-KNN), the enhancement of $d_{33}^*$ is observed at a FE volume content of 10\%. Different coupling mechanism is found between serial and parallel structure. For the case of the diffusive interface, the properties of the material, such as random field, are assumed to linearly change in the direction that is perpendicular to the interface. The large signal response is compared between the two types of interfaces. The simulation results can favor the design of the future FE/RE composite.
