Transient Analysis of a Piezoelectric Ceramic Thin Plate by Spatial Network Method

Abstract
The application of a spatial network method to a piezoelectric ceramic thin plate is described. The concept of this method is both the representation of the plate by the electrical lattice network and the formulation in time domain by Bergeron's method. The method has the merit of being applicable to treat any medium conditions by electrical analogy and to analyze numerically an arbitrary shape of the plate in time domain.
