Design and analysis of a practical large-force piezoelectric inchworm motor with a novel force duplicator

The work presented in this dissertation on piezoelectric inchworm motors (IWM) is part of a process to gain an understanding of the design, analysis and testing of this smart actuator technology. This work will form the foundation of what will hopefully lead to the realisation of a production-ready...
