Matching the Optimal Operating Mode of Polydimethylsiloxane Check Valves by Tuning the Resonant Frequency of the Resonator in a Piezoelectric Pump for Improved Output Performance

This paper proposes to improve the output performance of a piezoelectric pump by matching the resonant frequency of the resonator to the optimal operating mode of bridge-type polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) check valves. Simulation analyses reveal that the side-curling mode of the PDMS valve is conduciv...
