Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a piezoelectric polymer that has been used in many
applications including microphones, transducers, sensors and actuators. The …

Abstract Poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) receives an increasing amount of attention
because it exhibits the strongest piezoelectric response of any commercially available …

The fractional calculus has been suggested as an appropriate mathematical tool for the
description of a wide variety of physical, chemical and biological processes, in particular non …

Piezoelectric polymer sheets usually have metallic electrodes that considerably stiffen the
sheet and correspondingly decrease its piezoelectric response in actuator and sensor …

Many attempts have been made to functionalize polymer materials as so-called 'smart'or
'intelligent'materials (see Fig. 2.1).—Artificial muscle or intelligent actuators is one of the …

This paper presents the results of measurements of free displacement and blocked force
generated from piezo-composite unimorph actuators made from three different substrate …

A data storage device can employ a gimbal tongue flexure suspended from a load beam
with a transducing head mounted to the gimbal tongue flexure. The transducing head can be …

This paper is focused on the influence of the thickness ratio between substrate and
piezoceramic layers on the displacement and force output of a C-shape actuator. The ratio of …
