Performance Modeling and Efficiency Analysis for a Piezohydraulic Pump with Active Valves

Piezoelectric actuation is an expanding field that makes use of piezoelectric materials that have high power density as actuators. These actuation systems have the potential higher power density than the traditional servo motor technology. However, due to tiny strain of the piezoelectric materials...
