Design Method for Buckling Amplified Piezoelectric Actuator Using Flexure Joint and its Application to an Energy Efficient Brake System
This paper shows a practical design method for a displacement amplification mechanism for a piezoelectric actuator which employs a buckling-like phenomenon. This mechanical singularity realizes a substantial displacement magnification, at least 50 times, within a simple structure. An SMA preload mec...
