摘要
A multilayer piezoelectric actuator, with dimension of 10 mm×10 mm×60 mm, which can output a tensile displacement directly by exploring the d31 effect of piezoelectrics, was fabricated using soft Lead Zirconate Titanate(PZT) ceramics. The performance of the actuator was characterized by a special home-made experimental setup under electric fields varying from 200 to 1 000 V/mm with the preload varying from-150 to 100 N at room temperature. Results showed that it can output a maximum tensile displacement of 12 μm under unipolar electric field of 1 000 V/mm and preload was independent with generative displacement in the range of testing preload. Additionally, using the actuator, we built a micro loading apparatus, which can be used to test the fracture behavior of brittle materials.
