Modeling 1-3 composite piezoelectrics: thickness-mode oscillations
W.A. Smith,B.A. Auld +1 more
TL;DR: A simple physical model of 1-3 composite piezoelectrics is advanced for the material properties that are relevant to thickness-mode oscillations, revealing that the composite's material properties cannot be optimized simultaneously; tradeoffs must be made.
