The purpose of this review is to introduce several loss determination techniques for piezoelectric materials. The review starts with brief discussions of the loss factors and of the importance of piezoelectric loss that is related to the antiresonance frequency.
In particular, recent discoveries by our group show that piezoelectric losses are key factors for reducing heat generation in lead zirconate titanate (PZT)-based piezoelectric resonators with antiresonance operation [ 3 ]. The purpose of this paper is to review the determination methodologies of the loss factors of piezoelectric materials.
A number of studies dealt with the modeling of piezoelectric devices considering complex coefficients of piezoelectric materials. In particular, losses, which are imaginary parameters, are essential because they can reflect the heat dissipation of the device that is a crucial factor for the energy efficiency of such devices.
Therefore, several commercial simulation tools have been established to accurately estimate the power losses of an inverter and improve its performance. The goal of this project is to design an application capable of estimat-ing the power losses of a three-phase, hard-switched inverter using various power semi-conductor devices.
