Dynamic Characteristics of a Hydraulic Amplification Mechanism for Large Displacement Actuators Systems

Dynamic Characteristics of a Hydraulic Amplification Mechanism for Large Displacement Actuators Systems

We have developed a hydraulic displacement amplification mechanism (HDAM) and studied its dynamic response when combined with a piezoelectric actuator. The HDAM consists of an incompressible fluid sealed in a microcavity by two largely deformable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes. The geometry w...
