Fatigue performance of macro-fiber piezoelectric composite actuator with respect to variable beam geometry

This study is an investigation into the reliability and performance over the lifetime of the piezoelectric fiber composite, macro fiber composite (MFC), with respect to variable beam geometry. MFC's are a class of smart structure utilizing the piezoelectric effect. The MFC is a thin flexible co...
