Dynamic Analysis of a Buckling-Type Amplification Mechanism to Maximize the Power Output by Varying the Load Impedance and Control Timing
Due to the limited displacement of piezoelectric stack actuators, common practice is to use some form of displacement amplification mechanism. This paper focuses on an externally leveraged mechanism that utilized a buckling motion to achieve large amplification ratios within a single stage. This mec...
