Abstract A mathematical model is presented in this work that describes the behavior of porous piezoelectric materials subjected to mechanical load and electric field. The model combines Biot's theory of poroelasticity and the classical theory of piezoelectric material wherein it is assumed that piezoelectric coupling exists only with the solid phase of the porous medium. This model is used to analyze the stress and electric wave generated in bone and porous Lead-Zirconate-Titanate (PZT) due to high frequency pulse loading. The governing partial differential equations are solved in the frequency domain by transforming them into a polynomial… More >
