Abstract

See full text

Provided is a piezoelectric generating element having an electrode on an outer surface of a piezoelectric ceramic body, wherein the piezoelectric ceramic body has a relative permittivity of 110 to 1700, an elastic compliance of 15 to 150 pm2/N, and a void ratio of 20 to 75%. Preferably, the void ratio is 50 to 75% in the piezoelectric generating element. A crystal particle is modeled as a cube with a length X on a side, a virtual void portion is provided in cube, a void ratio x is calculated based on a thickness t of a frame excluding void portion, a relative permittivity εr and an elastic compliance s are calculated based on void ratio x, and a power generation amount P is estimated. Thereby, a piezoelectric generating element capable of significantly increasing a power generation amount more than before, and a method for estimating a power generation amount of the piezoelectric generating element can be obtained.
