| Abstract | ||
| It is difficult to calculate the output force of a single-layer piezoelectric actuator under voltage excitation. In this paper, the piezoelectric actuator is organically combined with the mass-spring-damping system, and the deformation of the piezoelectric actuator under voltage excitation is transformed into the displacement of the mass-spring-damping system. Then, according to the differential equation of the system, the formulae of the mechanical output of the piezoelectric actuator under sinusoidal alternating current and DC step excitation are obtained by using the Laplace change and the inverse change, respectively. Finally, the proposed equations are verified by using ceramic piezoelectric actuators and PVDF actuators, respectively. The results are compared with the existing ones, which shows that the proposed method is feasible, easy, and practical. | ||
