MEMS module, Piezoelectric actuator, frequency response

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi!

I'm doing frequency response analysis of piezo actuator using MEMS module.

I'm wondering when I input the electric potential value in boundary condition, How to input the cosine voltage?

i.e) input 100(V)--->This means 100Vp-p sine wave

then....how to input the cosine 100Vp-p??

I don't know how to input the cosine wave when we solve the frequency response problem...

Dose anybody know that ? Please save me~: )

Hi,
just set "50" in the boundary settings for the amplitude of V. You can also set the phase.
Frequency response analysis considers all the inputs as sinusoids with a frequency given by the "freq" parameter you are using for the sweep.
Therefore tou only need to set amplitude and phase.
I hope this help.

Thank you Mr.Alessandro

Dear Byungjin,

If you want to apply an harmonic electric potential with a phase shift of
pi/2 ( corresponding to the switch between a sine and cos), you just need
to enter the following expression:

V0*exp(j*pi/2)

That's all!

Best regards,
