Abstract

An enhanced piezoelectric wire structure includes an elongated portion of piezoelectric material, a metallic core, and an outer conductive sheath. The metallic core is substantially surrounded by the elongated portion of piezoelectric material and configured to function as a first electrode for the piezoelectric structure. The conductive outer sheath preferably covers selected areas of the elongated portion of piezoelectric material and functions as a second electrode for the structure. The piezoelectric material may correspond to barium titanate ceramic fibers, such that a lead-free structure is effected, however other piezoelectric materials may also be utilized. The disclosed structure can be poled with a reduced poling voltage and lower temperature level, and also requires a reduced voltage potential level required for mechanical actuation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to improved piezoelectric materials for use in tire and wheel assembly applications, particularly in sensors or actuators or in power generating modules for tire electronics assemblies or other vibration systems. Background technique [0002] The combination of pneumatic tire construction and electronics yields many practical advantages. Tire electronics may include sensors and other components for obtaining information about various physical parameters of the tire, such as temperature, pressure, number of tire rotations, vehicle speed, and the like. This performance information could become useful in tire monitoring and warning systems, and might even be used with feedback systems to adjust proper tire pressure, and with vehicle performance and control systems. [0003] For commercial vehicle applications, however, another possible capability provided by electronic systems integrated with the tire structure cor...
