Popis: The objective of this work is to characterize the nonlinear dependence of the piezoelectric d15 shear coefficient of a composite actuator on the static electric field and include this effect in finite element (FE) simulations. The Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear least squares optimization algorithm implemented in MATLAB was applied to acquire the piezoelectric shear coefficient parameters. The nonlinear piezoelectric d15 shear constant of the composite actuator integrated with piezoceramic d15 patches was obtained to be 732 pC/N at 198 V. The experimental benchmark was simulated using a three-dimensional piezoelectric FE model by taking piezoelectric nonlinearity into consideration. The results revealed that the piezoelectric shear d15 coefficient increased nonlinearly under static applied electric fields over 0.5 kV/cm. A comparison between the generated transverse deflections of the linear and nonlinear FE models was also performed.
