At micro/nano scale, the stiffening effect and flexoelectric effect of strain gradient play important roles in the electromechanical coupling response of piezoelectric micro-components. In this paper, the large deflection bending problem of circular piezoelectric micro-actuator is studied based on the extended linear dielectric theory. In addition to the piezoelectric effect, the flexoelectric effect, the stiffening effect of strain gradient and the high-order electric field effect of polarization gradient are introduced. According to the variational principle, a size-dependent model of circular piezoelectric micro-actuator is established to investigate its electromechanical coupling response. The contributions of piezoelectric effect and flexoelectric effect on large deflection behaviors of piezoelectric micro-actuator are revealed. It is hoped that the research results will be helpful to further understand the electromechanical coupling properties of piezoelectric micro-components and improve the control precision of piezoelectric micro-actuator.

The locomotion mechanisms and structural characteristics of insects in nature offer new perspectives and solutions for designing miniature actuators. Inspired by the underwater movement of aquatic beetles, this paper presents a bidirectional self-propelled linear piezoelectric micro-actuator (SLPMA), whose maximum size in three dimensions is currently recognized as the smallest known of the self-propelled piezoelectric linear micro-actuators. Through the superposition of two bending vibration modes, the proposed actuator generates an elliptical motion trajectory at its driving feet.

This study presents a newly developed piezoelectric drive mechanism for the purpose of designing, analyzing, and testing a micro-positioning platform driven by piezoelectric actuators. The platform incorporates a piezoelectric ceramic actuator and a flexible hinge drive and features a symmetrical two-stage lever (STSL) amplification mechanism and a parallelogram output structure. The implementation of this design has led to notable enhancements in the dynamic properties of the platform, thereby eliminating the undesired parasitic displacement of the mechanism.

As smart structures are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in our daily life, the need for efficient modeling electromechanical coupling devices is also rapidly advancing. Smart structures are often made of piezoelectric materials such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), which exhibits strong nonlinear behavior known as hysteresis effect under a large applied electric field. There have been numerous modeling techniques that are able to capture such an effect; some techniques are suitable for obtaining physical insights into the micro-structure of the material, while other techniques are better-suited to practical structural analyses.
