Abstract

A shear vibration-based piezoelectric composite material and a preparation method thereof are disclosed. The piezoelectric composite material includes a piezoelectric material and the passive material. The piezoelectric material includes a piezoelectric material polarized along the x-axis positive and a piezoelectric material negatively polarized along the x-axis. The piezoelectric materials in the two polarization directions are alternately arranged along the x-axis direction. The passive material includes a filling layer, a transition layer, and a planar layer. The filling layer is disposed between every two adjacent piezoelectric materials. The planar layer is located outer two surfaces perpendicular to the z-axis of the piezoelectric material. The planar layer on one side is fixedly connected to the filling layer in the odd-numbered position via the transition layer. The planar layer on the other side is fixedly connected to the filling layer in the even-numbered position via the transition layer. The piezoelectric composite material can be used to prepare an underwater acoustic transducer, a hydrophone, piezoelectric energy harvesters, and the like. The invention innovatively converts shear vibrations into the thickness vibrations of the upper and lower surfaces of the composite material, thereby improving the performance of the composite material.
