Abstract: An infinitely extended, piezoelectric bimorph is considered, consisting of two piezoceramic plates, glued to each other with in between an infinitesimally thin electrode. The bimorph is deformed by the application of a constant potential difference between shorted circular electrodes on the outer faces and the central electrode. By using Hankel transforms the linear, piezoelectric relations are reduced to dual integral equations for the charge on the outer electrodes. These equations are solved numerically. Also the charge on the central electrode and the potential on the faces are computed. The computed quantities are compared with corresponding values obtained from an approximated theory.
