I can't model a piezoelectric transducer

Hello to all,

I am currently trying to model a piezoelectric sensor which transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy with Simulink but I encounter some difficulties ...

Here is a snapshot of my current montage (not functional):

Could someone help me solve this problem ...?

Thank you in advance,

Open the Simulink to PS converter block attached to the pulse generator and select these settings.

Thank you very much it worked! But now I have another problem ... My modeling is very "sensitive": as soon as I change the velocity of a parameter (capacitor, resistance, pulse frequency ...) I get new errors:

Thank you very much for your help,

This is actually a stability issue with your model. It appears to be encountering a pole, which makes the output of the system unstable. It requires a domain-specific knowledge to analyze which block might be causing instability.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I have the equations of the components (resistance and capacitor) but I don't know how to enter these behavior equations in simulink.

I determined analytically for example:

But I don't know where to enter this equation ...

[Ameer Hamza]

Do you have the values of and ? Do you just want to calculate the value of and use it as a parameter in a block? In that case, you can define it in MATLAB workspace. Simulink block parameters can read the value from the base workspace.

Sorry, but I'm discovering matlab and I don't know how to do that ... Can you show me the way? thank you so much

[Ameer Hamza]

In MATLAB command window run these lines

Lm = 1; % whatever is the value of Lm
Cm = 1; % whatever is the value of Cm
Rm = sqrt(Lm*Cm)/(2*Cm);

and then opne the resisitor dialog box in simulink and in the resistor window write Rm.

Thank you very much for your patience! I managed to create variables and it seems to work. I have one last little question: I would like to know if it is possible to simulate a mechanical vibration at a specific frequency on the piezo stack? If yes, which block might be suitable?

[Ameer Hamza]

I am not familiar with the details of piezoelectric actuators. Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help in this area.

Ok no worries, thank you so much for your help
