Vibration shaker: electr. output power of piezodevice exceeds mechanical input power
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Hello, I did the following measurement: A piezo element (mass approx. 50 gram) is fixed onto a vibration shaker The force exert on the piezo, 0,124 N (rms) is measured with an impedance head The vibration frequency (sinusoidal signal) is 142,4 Hz The acceleration is measered as 0,35 m/sē rms. The electrical output power of the piezo is measured as 1,42 mW 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution Calculated input power: 0,35*1/(2*pi*142,4)*0,124=0,04mW (=speed * force) with the speed = integral of the acceleration and 2*pi*142 the angular frequency So the input power is much smaller than the output electrical power, which is impossible, it seems to be a factor 1000 wrong? Does anyone see my error, or measured value that is abnormal? Thanks already! I did post this in the introductory physics forum some weeks ago, but received no answer. Anyone here has some advice, it is much appreciated! |
