Predicting the electromechanical properties of small caliber projectile impact igniter using PZT dynamic damage constitutive model considering crack propagation

Block piezoelectric ceramics (PZTs) are often used in impact igniters to provide activation energy for electric initiators. Under the action of strong impact stress, PZTs release electric energy accompanied by crack initiation, propagation and crushing. At present, the electrical output performance...
