Actuation characteristics and applications of piezoelectric materials and ionic polymer-metal composites
This thesis focuses on the actuation characteristics of piezoelectric materials and ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) for biomedical applications. The piezoelectric actuated plates and shells on elastic foundation are investigated. Analytical solutions are obtained to describe the structural re...
