Research on anti-icing technology of flat plate structures based on piezoelectric vibration

In this paper, an ice-covered aluminium plate was used as the research object, and the mechanism of ice detachment from the structure due to vibration generated by piezoelectric ceramics was investigated. COMSOL modal analysis was utilized to examine the influence of various layouts of piezoelectric elements on the anti-icing effect of the plate structure. Simulation results were used as basis to conduct anti-icing experiments on aluminium plates. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed anti-icing scheme and an improved deicing effect under the selected layouts.
