Analysis of Stiffness Effect on Valve Behavior of a Reciprocating Pump Operated by Piezoelectric Elements
This study analyzed the characteristics of a small reciprocating pump with a cantilever valve driven by a piezo actuator. Three types of valves were fabricated to investigate the effect of the valve stiffness on the pump performance and to measure the variation in the flow rate according to the freq...
