Dynamic Performance of Nonlinear 100X Displacement Amplification Piezoelectric Actuator

The dynamic frequency response of a nonlinear piezoelectric amplification mechanism capable of over 150 fold displacement amplification is presented. Research to amplify the displacement of piezoelectric actuators has included flexure based approaches that utilize geometric configuration, and has in...
