  • Abstract
    We perform a theoretical analysis on a ceramic plate piezoelectric transformer operating with thickness-shear modes. Mindlin´s first-order theory of piezoelectric plates is employed, and a forced vibration solution is obtained. Transforming ratio, resonant frequencies, and vibration mode shapes are calculated, and the effects of plate thickness and electrode dimension are examined.
