description The transient contact-impact mechanism and driving capability of the piezoelectric stack actuator is analyzed using both experimental and theoretical methods. An experimental setup and its corresponding measurement approaches for the transient responses are designed. The launch range of the object resulting from the first contact-impact is measured through laser doppler vibrometer and the motion process is captured by high-speed camera. Experimental results illustrate that the launch range increases firstly and decreases subsequently as the frequency of the sine driving voltage increases. Meanwhile, considering the local viscoelastic contact deformation, a theoretical methodology including the mechanics model for the driving process is proposed. Based on the Lagrange equations of second kind, the governing equation of the driving system is derived. Transient responses are calculated using the fourth-order Runge&#8722;Kutta integration method. Contact forces and Poisson&#8217;s coefficient of restitution are calculated by the proposed theoretical method. The results of launch range show that the theoretical solutions have a good agreement with the experimental data. The peak value of contact force increases firstly and decreases subsequently with the increase of voltage frequency. In addition, the coefficient of restitutions is roughly 0.9 when <i>f</i> is greater than 3.5 kHz.
