Popis: An analytical expression has been derived to calculate the temperature in the bulk of a piezoelectric cell and on its surface with allowance made for the distributed heat release. It is experimentally shown that the temperature at the center of actuator exceeds the temperature on its surface by 10–40°C and reaches 50–140°C under specific loads of 50–100 W/cm3. The reason for this is that up to 25–45% of the supplied energy is transformed into heat. It is established that the main cause of actuator failure is electric breakdown and exfoliation of passive ceramic layers.
