INTRODUCTION IEZOELECTRIC matrials and atuators ar widly Papplid in modrn thnologis du to th apability of th transfr btwn mhanial and ltri nrgy. Th pizoltri ooling fan as shown in Fig. is on of th pizoltri produts. This ooling ida was first proposd by Toda and Osaka []. With th vibrating or flapping motion, th of this ooling fan an produ th air flow to rdu th tmpratur of hot ltroni dvis. Many rsarh topis for th pizoltri ooling fan hav bn studid xprimntally and numrially []-[]. Th xprimntal, analytial and numrial mthods of solid and fluid mhanis ar adoptd in thos rsarhs. Many studis onludd that th pizoltri ooling fan onsums low powr and has good ooling prforman for th ltroni dvis. For smallr ltroni produts, th spa may not allow to st a rotary ooling fan. To solv this problm, th small-sizd pizoltri ooling fan is a good solution. Yoo t al. hav invstigatd svral dsigns of pizoltri ooling fans for th ltroni dvis []. In thir study, svral typs of pizoltri fans wr onstrutd and tstd at Hz, V, and V, rsptivly. Thy found a rlationship btwn th tip displamnt and th wind vloity whn th pizoltri fan is opratd in th fundamntal rsonan. Howvr, th fft of diffrnt working frqunis was not studid by Yoo t al. Th purpos of this papr is to disuss som nots on th vibration dsign of th pizoltri ooling fan. Th prsnt study is th fluid-strutur intration problm. Th xprimntal rsults will show th vibration bhavior, air flow Thomas Jin-Ch Liu, Assoiat Profssor, is with th Dpartmnt of Mhanial Enginring, Ming Chi Univrsity of Thnology, Taishan, Nw Taipi City, Taiwan (orrsponding author to provid phon: --9999 xt 59; -mail: jinh@mail.mut.du.tw).

As shown in Fig., th atuator with two bondd pizoltri matrials is namd as th bimorph atuator. Th pizoltri matrial is atuatd by th ltri fild btwn two ltrods. Whn th voltag (ltri potntial) diffrn is applid on both ltrods, th pizoltri atuator dforms or bnds du to th ltri fild. To prform th vibrating assoiatd with th air flow, th pizoltri ooling fan must b fixd and subjtd to th ltri powr with th altrnativ urrnt (AC).

It vibrats rsonantly undr its first-mod natural frquny f =7.5Hz. Th rsonant vibration prforms th maximum flapping displamnt. As shown in Fig. whn th applid frquny is shiftd out of th natural frquny, th flapping displamnt (total tip displamnt) of th drass rapidly. Whn th PET s with t b =.5mm and t b =.mm ar usd, th variations of th air flow vloity v air and tip displamnt δ t with ar rsptivly shown in Figs. 9 and. It prsnts th non-linar phnomna du to th flxibl proprty and largr dformation. Th rsults show that th largr voltag applid on th pizoltri atuator an indu largr flapping displamnt (total tip displamnt) and air flow. In othr words, th largr th tip displamnt is, th largr th air flow vloity is. Th ffts of th thiknss on th air flow and tip displamnt ar also onsidrd. Du to diffrnt strutural stiffnss, th natural frqunis of t b =.5mm and t b =.mm ar f =7.5Hz and f =.5Hz, rsptivly. In Fig., th tip displamnts of t b =.mm ar always largr than thos of t b =.5mm. Howvr, Fig. 9 shows that th air flow vloity of t b =.mm ar not always largr than thos of t b =.5mm. Whn V amp >75V, th as of t b =.5mm gts largr air flow. In this voltag rang, highr working frquny of t b =.5mm (7.5Hz >.5Hz) dominats th air flow. Whn th stl s ar usd, similar ompliatd rsults ar obtaind. Th stl thiknsss ar t b =.5mm, t b =.mm, and t b =.mm. From th xprimntal masurmnt, thir natural frqunis ar f =9.5Hz, f =Hz, and f =.5Hz, rsptivly. Th variations of v air and δ t with V amp ar rsptivly shown in Figs. and. Th as of t b =.mm has largr air flow and tip displamnt than othr two ass with thinnr or thikr thiknss. Th thiknss affts th natural frquny and tip displamnt so that th air flow prforms ompliatd rsults in Fig. Howvr, th as of t b =.mm shows th approximatly linar rlationship btwn v air and V amp. This linar as agrs with thos of Yoo t al. []. Th pizoltri ooling fan must work at th natural frquny to prform th rsonant vibration. Th largr tip dfltion is also xptd. Abov two phnomna an produ largr air flow for th ooling pross. Howvr, th natural frquny of th pizoltri fan must b high nough.
