Effect of external load resistance on Rosen transformer surface electrical potential

Abstract

This work is about the modeling and experimental validation of the electrical potential distribution on Rosen piezoelectric transformer surface. In a first step, we carry out a linear analytical multi-modal model of electrical and mechanical properties of the PT with its resistive load dependency. Then, we discuss this model compared to experimental results carried out on a commercial multi-layer PT.
