Electromechanical Energy Conversion in Asymmetric Piezoelectric Bending Actuators

Piezoelectric materials can be conveniently used to build actuators which convert electrical into mechanical energy and vice versa. In structures containing beam and plate members, piezoelectric patches are employed to control flexural vibrations and optimization of the design and placement of these...
