Example13 Resonant Frequency

General

  • The model is a device with two reversely polarized piezoelectric bars stuck together. It is subjected to the tensile force, and the resonant frequency changes.

  • Analysis with the initial stress taken into account is performed. See Analysis with the initial stress taken into account for the details.
     

  • The device’s displacement and the resonant frequencies are solved.
     

  • Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.
