Design of Piezoelectric Actuators By Optimizing the Electrodes Topology

RA-L 2021

Piezoelectric materials based actuators are highly recognized for the development of microrobotic systems thanks to their high bandwidth, high resolution and high force density. However, one of their main drawback is the low relative stroke (0.1% of actuator's size) that limits the actuator motion r

Displacement Amplifier Mechanism for Piezoelectric Actuators Design Using SIMP Topology Optimization Approach

ICRA 2018poster

Due to their inherent crystalline properties piezoelectric actuators have a limited deformation. This intrinsic drawback deprives to exploit the potential of these actuators such as, high bandwidth and high resolution in applications that require large displacement range. To overcome this limitation…
