This book is a result of contributions of experts from international scientific community working in different aspects of piezoelectric materials and devices through original and innovative research studies. The reader will have access to works related to the various applications of piezoelectric materials such as piezoelectric stacks in level sensors, pressure sensors, actuators for functionally graded plates, active and passive health monitoring systems, machining processes, nondestructive testing of aeronautical structures and acoustic wave velocity measurements.The text is addressed not only to researchers, but also to professional engineers, students and other experts in a variety of disciplines, both academic and industrial seeking to gain a better understanding of what has been done in the field recently, and what kind of open problems are in this area.<strong>Contents Preface Piezoelectric Actuators for Functionally Graded Plates - Nonlinear Vibration Analysis (Farzad Ebrahimi) Acoustic Wave Velocity Measurement on Piezoelectric Ceramics (Toshio Ogawa) The Application of Piezoelectric Materials in Machining Processes (Saeed Assarzadeh and Majid Ghoreishi) Application of the Piezoelectricity in an Active and Passive Health Monitoring System (Sébastien Grondel and Christophe Delebarre) Generation of a Selected Lamb Mode by Piezoceramic Transducers: Application to Nondestructive Testing of Aeronautical Structures (Farouk Benmeddour, Emmanuel Moulin, Jamal Assaad and Sonia Djili) Piezoelectric Pressure Sensor Based on Enhanced Thin-Film PZT Diaphragm Containing Nanocrystalline Powders (Vahid Mohammadi, Saeideh Mohammadi and Fereshteh Barghi) Design and Application of Piezoelectric Stacks in Level Sensors (Andrzej Buchacz and Andrzej Wróbel)
