Large effective-strain piezoelectric actuators using nested cellular architecture with exponential strain amplification mechanisms
Design and analysis of piezoelectric actuators having over 20% effective strain using an exponential strain amplification mechanism are presented in this paper. Piezoelectric ceramic material, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), has large stress and bandwidth, but its extremely small strain, i.e....
