Bangalore, December 25, 2018: City-based CMR Institute of Technology (CMRIT), Departmento Physics organizeda guest lecture on piezoelectric materials at the college premises, today.Renowned scientist Dr. Prasanta Kumar Panda, Chief Scientist, CSIR-NAL, Bangalore was the chief guest of the session.
Dr. Prasanta Kumar Panda, Chief Scientist from country’s premier research agency, National Aeronautics limited (CSIR-NAL),said, ”Piezo electric materials have promising applications in Aeronautical Engineering, Energy Harvesting andRadar Technology. Budding engineers are showing interest in making energy harvesting devices through Piezoelectric and currently the NAL laboratory has developed technology to attain high power of the order of 600-700PC per newton, which is a considerable achievement.”
He elaborated on the special properties of piezoelectric materials, which possessesthe ability to produce voltage under application of stressand how also spoke about how NAL has successfully produced Piezo electric ZirconoiumTitanate (PZT) powder-making technology, which is being transferred to private players,in order to develop accelerometers.
The session gave an insighton the field of piezoelectric sensors on PZT applications in making pressure and temperature sensors in Gas Turbines, that at high speeds of Mach Number 1 (Sound speed), how high vibrationlevel in aircrafts has to be contained andprocesses like poling, sintering, used to make PZT powder.
