Design and modelling a mini-system with piezoelectric actuation

Abstract

In this paper a new mini-system with piezoelectric actuation is presented. The piezoelectric actuation principle it is described and also an original mini-system is designed and analyzed. An experimental prototype of the compliant mini-mechanism is developed, in compact design, which amplifies the input displacement, with facile connection with the piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator is commanded with different frequencies impulse signals. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
