Dimensional analysis of PZT-5H transducers

For validating the experimental results researchers use either computational methods or analytical methods. The three methods(experimental, computational and analytical) are based on direct perception, logical inference and past literature work, which are interrelated to each other. Results never be matched one hundred percent between amongst any two methods. That mismatching values researchers called as percentage error. To minimise the error in analytical methods, researchers applies the method of dimensional homogenity. In this paper, the dimensional analysis of the constitutive equations of lead zirconate titanate(PZT-5H) transducers has been done and also explained in tailor made by using Buckingham's method in the view of understanding the analytical studies of piezoelectric energy harvesters as an attempt to the verification of dimensional homogenity existence and considering which was not explained by researchers before in field of vibration energy harvesting by using PZT-5H transducers.
