Abstract: The converse flexoelectric effect, i.e., the polarization (or electric field) gradient-induced internal stress (or strain), can be utilized to actuate and control flexible structures. This study focuses on the microscopic ...

Abstract: A flexoelectric cantilever beam actuated by the converse flexoelectric effect is evaluated and its analytical and experimental data are compared in this study. A line-electrode on the top beam surface and a bottom surface ...
