Piezoelectric bimorph bender actuators find application number of areas, ranging from automotive to health care. High voltage operation in harsh environments poses ever more stringent demands on functionality and lifetime. In these high performance benders, the trade-off between functionality and lifetime becomes of increasing importance, and a model-based understanding is imperative for further tailoring actuator performance....
As a result of research conducted at the Fundamentals of Advanced Materials group, at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering of Delft University of Technology, a piezoelectric composite sensor has been developed. Due to a patented combination of piezoelectric ceramic powder and the novel liquid crystalline thermosetting...
We report an investigation into factors limiting the functional lifetime of multilayer piezoceramic actuators. The study consists of a combination of lifetime experiments by means of an accelerated lifetime test, inspection of the actuator microstructure at different stages of the accelerated lifetime test, and numerical simulation of the displacements and mechanical stresses that arise during actuator performance...
