A Novel Stick–Slip Piezoelectric Actuator Based on a Triangular Compliant Driving Mechanism
TL;DR: A novel high-performance piezoelectric actuator that can overcome the limitations of existing designs based on the stick–slip actuation principle is presented and it is interestingly found that its driving speed performance also improves when the design angle is increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of state-of-the-art artificial compound eye imaging systems.
TL;DR: The paper presents the applications of the artificial compound eye imaging system including imaging with a large FOV, imaging with high resolution, object distance detection, medical imaging, egomotion estimation, and navigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A stick-slip/inchworm hybrid rotary piezo motor based on a symmetric triangular driving mechanism
TL;DR: A stick-slip/inchworm hybrid rotary piezomotor based on a symmetric triangular driving mechanism, which can simultaneously achieve the benefits of both stick slip and inchworm motors, was reported in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simplified transfer matrix of multi-layer piezoelectric stack
TL;DR: Multi-layer piezoelectric stack is a transducer stacked by numerous thin piezo layers which can convert an electrical energy into a mechanical energy in transmitter mode (actuators or vibrators) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formulation of a simple distributed-parameter model of multilayer piezoelectric actuators:
TL;DR: In this article, a simple distributed-parameter analytical model of piezoelectric actuator, which can model vibration characterisation, is presented, and the model can be used for linear vibrator design.
