The circular bimorph structure, consisting of two flexible layers of piezoelectric material and a layer of metallic material in the middle, is powered to the flexural deformation. The analytical solutions including the statics solution and the dynamics solution are derived from the 3D equations of the linear theory of piezoelectric- ity. Numerical results are included to show the circular bimorph piezoelectric actuator （CBPA） performance, depending on the physical parameters.展开更多

Nonlinear effects of the large deflection to induce the incidental implane extension near res- onance are considered, which is shown that on one side of the resonant frequency the output-input relation becomes nonlinear, and the other side output voltage experiences jumps.展开更多
