Modeling and Design Optimization of a New Piezoelectric Inchworm Actuator with Screw Clamping Mechanisms
A new piezoelectric inchworm actuator with screw clamping mechanisms has been developed recently for the wing folding mechanism of a small unmanned aircraft where the actuator power density is a great concern. Considering that the prototype actuator was designed just with engineering intuition and t...
