Abstract
A multi-step micromechanics method is developed to evaluate the performance of the 1-3 piezoelectric composites with porous matrix. Firstly, the porous polymer matrix is homogenized using the Mori-Tanaka method. Secondly, the piezoceramic fibre coated with piezopolymer is homogenized to obtain a piezocomposite fibre. Finally, the porous matrix with embedded piezocomposites fibre is analysed using the Mori-Tanaka method for piezoelectric composite. A study is performed to examine the effect of the piezopolymer interlayer between the matrix and the piezoceramic fibre on the performance of the composites. In addition, the effect of the porosity on the composite performance is also studied. Results from the study show that the interlayer between the matrix and piezoceramic fibre can degrade the performance of the piezocomposites. However, the presence of porosity can significantly improve the performance of the composite.
