Abstract

This paper demonstrates the potential of the resonance frequency for a piezoelectric beam clamped on one of its end to be altered to a higher or lower range by introducing additional proof mass or by reducing the piezoelectric cantilever length. When the effective mass of the cantilever is increased, the resonance frequency of the cantilever is expected to shift to lower region, while when the stiffness of the cantilever is increased, the resonance frequency of the cantilever is expected to shift to higher region. These statements have been proven and validated in this paper. Overall, the experimental result showed good agreement with the theoretical result, however, there was still 20% and 35% error different for the proof mass experiment and length reduction experiment respectively.
