RISEffects of Added Mass on Lead-Zirconate-Titanate Thin-Film Microactuators in Aqueous Environments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we conduct experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies of a lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) thin-film microactuator probe submerged in water. The major component of the actuator is a PZT diaphragm anchored ...
Voltage-Induced Snap-Through of an Asymmetrically Laminated, Piezoelectric, Thin-Film Diaphragm Micro-Actuator—Part 1: Experimental Studies and Mathematical Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A piezoelectric thin-film microactuator in the form of an asymmetrically laminated diaphragm is developed as an intracochlear hearing aid. Experimentally, natural frequencies of the microactuator bifurcate with respect to ...
