Piezoelectric Bending Transducers: The Physics of Their Static and Dynamic Behaviour A Textbook About Indispensable Actuators in Microtechnology, Mechatronics and Medical Technology

The wide range of industrial applications for piezoelectric bending transducers as actuators and high-precision positioning systems requires their performance to be adapted to the respective task. This presupposes that it is already possible to predict the static and dynamic behaviour of such actuator structures in the respective application during the design and development phase. The geometric dimensions of the individual active and passive layers, their sequence in the layer system and t...
