Abstract

Piezoelectric coefficients dij are most widespread to describe the piezoelectric effect, electromechanical properties and other related parameters. The effective piezoelectric coefficients and their links to sensitivity are discussed for piezo-active composites with various connectivity patterns. Examples of the piezoelectric sensitivity of the 2–2-type, 1–3-type, 1–1-type, 0–3-type, and 3–β composites based on ferroelectics are considered. The role of the microgeometry in forming the piezoelectric sensitivity and anisotropy of the piezoelectric coefficients is analysed. Ways to improve the piezoelectric sensitivity in terms of are discussed in connection with potential piezotechnical applications.
