Dynamic Electromechanical Coupling of Piezoelectric Bending Actuators
Abstract: Electromechanical coupling defines the ratio of electrical and mechanical energy exchanged during a flexure cycle of a piezoelectric actuator. This paper presents an analysis of the dynamic electromechanical coupling factor (dynamic EMCF) for cantilever based piezoelectric actuators and provides for the first time explicit expressions for calculation of dynamic EMCF based on arrangeme...
متن کاملOptimal energy density piezoelectric bending actuators
The design and analysis of piezoelectric actuators is rarely optimized for low mass applications. However, emerging technologies such as micro air vehicles, and microrobotics in general, demand high force, high displacement, low mass actuators. Utilization of generic piezoceramics and high performance composite materials coupled with intelligent use of geometry and novel driving techniques yiel...
متن کاملDynamic Behavior of Piezoelectric Actuators
The piezo tutorial "Actuators for dynamic applications" or Actuator 2 describes dynamic applications, where dynamics (acceleration, damping) can be neglected. However, in many applications, dynamics play an important role and have to be taken into account in the design process. The tutorial gives an introduction to dynamic applications. Also the Mason model used to model, analyze and estimate t...
متن کاملDesign and manufacturing rules for maximizing the performance of polycrystalline piezoelectric bending actuators
Increasing the energy and power density of piezoelectric actuators is very important for any weight-sensitive application, and is especially crucial for enabling autonomy in micro/milli-scale robots and devices utilizing this technology. This is achieved by maximizing the mechanical flexural strength and electrical dielectric strength through the use of laser-induced melting or polishing, insul...
متن کاملDevelopment of piezoelectric bending actuators with embedded piezoelectric sensors for micromechanical flapping mechanisms
This paper presents the fabrication and the testing of piezoelectric unimorph actuators with embedded piezoelectric sensors which are meant to be used for the actuation of the Micromechanical Flying Insect (MFI). First the fabrication process of a piezoelectric bending actuator comprising a standard unimorph and a rigid extension is described together with the advantages of adding such an exten...
