Ultrasonic NDE testing of a gradient enhanced piezoelectric actuator (GEPAC) undergoing low frequency bending excitation

Gradient Enhanced Piezoelectric Actuators (GEPAC) are thin piezoelectric plates embedded between two composites layers having different thermal properties. Compared to standard unimorph bending actuators, GEPACs offer superior performances for operations at low frequencies. Potential applications ar...
