  • Characterisation of PZT thin film micro-actuators using a silicon micro-force sensor 
    Duval, Fabrice F. C.; Wilson, Stephen A.; Ensell, Graham; Evanno, Nicolas M. P.; Cain, Markys G.; Whatmore, Roger W. (Elsevier, 2007-01-08)
    This paper reports on the measurements of displacement and blocking force of piezoelectric micro-cantilevers. The free displacement was studied using a surface profiler and a laser vibrometer. The experimental data were ...
  • Flextensional ultrasonic piezoelectric micro-motor. 
    Leinvuo, Joni T.; Wilson, Stephen A.; Whatmore, Roger W.; Cain, Markys G. (IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics, 2006-12-01)
    This paper presents the experimental design, construction, and operational characteristics of a new type of standing wave piezoelectric ultrasonic micro-motor. The motor uses a composite stator, consisting of a metallic ...
  • A new flextensional piezoelectric ultrasonic motor - design, fabrication and characterisation 
    Leinvuo, Joni T.; Wilson, Stephen A.; Whatmore, Roger W.; Cain, Markys G. (Elsevier, 2007-01-08)
    This paper presents the techniques used for the characterisation of a new type of standing-wave piezoelectric ultrasonic motor. The motor uses a metallic flextensional amplifier, or “cymbal”, to convert the radial mode ...
