Comments

  1. Values in PIEZOij and DPZOij can be blank, but at least one non-zero value of PIEZOij and DPZOij must be defined for a MATPZO Bulk Data Entry.
  2. The material identification number can be the shared with structural materials (MAT1, MAT2, MAT8, MAT9 or MGASK), thermal materials (MAT4, MAT5), or electrical materials (MAT1EC, MAT2EC) but must be unique with respect to other dielectric materials (MAT1PT, MAT2PT).
  3. MATPZO is supported for solid elements only.
  4. The formulation is as follows:
    • When FLAG=STRSCHG, the piezoelectric material matrix has the following form:
      [cEeTeεS]
      [e]=[e11e12e13e14e15e16e21e22e23e24e25e26e31e32e33e34e35e36]
    • When FLAG=STRNCHG, the coefficients form the coupling matrix [d] as:
      [d]=[d11d12d13d14d15d16d21d22d23d24d25d26d31d32d33d34d35d36]
      The [d] matrix is converted to the [e] matrix by:
      e=dcE
    Where,
    cE
    Elastic material matrix
    εS
    Permittivity matrix defined by MAT1PT or MAT2PT
    eij
    Refers to the coupling terms ( PIEZOij ) when FLAG=STRSCHG
    dij
    Refers to the coupling terms ( PIEZOij ) when FLAG=STRNCHG
