In this paper the frequency spectra of axisymmetric extensional vibrations in PZT piezoceramic disk plates having Poisson's ratio (sigma) of 0.294 have been investigated theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical frequency spectra were calculated according to Hutchinson's theory of vibrations for isotropic elastic disk (i.e. cylinder) with thickness to diameter ratio (d/2a) from 0 to 3, without consideration the piezoelectric properties of disks. Experimental spectra were observed for the disk with ratio d/2a of 0.06 to 1.2. Experimental spectra are coincided with theoretical spectra and all observed parts of spectra might be completely predicted on the basis of the vibration theory of isotropic disk.
Key words: piezoceramic disk, model, resonance frequency.

REZONANTNE FREKVENCIJE PZT PIEZOKERAMIČKIH DISKOVA: NUMERIČKI PRISTUP
U ovom radu teorijski i eksperimentalno je istraživan frekventni spektar osnosimetričnih ekstenzionih vibracija u PZT piezokeramičkim diskovima sa Poisson-ovim odnosom (sigma) 0.294. Teorijski frekventni spektar je izračunat primenom Hutchinson-ove teorije oscilovanja za izotropan elastičan disk (odnosno cilindar) sa odnosom debljine i prečnika (d/2a) od 0 do 3, bez razmatranja piezoelektričnih svojstava diskova. Eksperimentalni spektar je posmatran za diskove sa odnosom d/2a od 0.06 do 1.02. Eksperimentalni spektar se dobro poklapa sa teorijskim spektrom i svi posmatrani delovi spektra mogu biti kompletno predviđeni na osnovu teorije oscilacija izotropnog diska..
