Design and optimization of piezoelectric actuators for microflap-embedded micropumps
In this paper, we propose a new method to use cost-effective multi-sheet off-the-shelf piezoelectric material (e.g. PZT) as an actuator for micropumps. Instead of one customized single PZT sheet that is typically expensive, multiple commercially available PZT sheets are utilized to decrease the cost...
