Abstract

A theoretical analysis of the thermal effects of a circular bimorph piezoelectric actuator (CBPA) was performed. The circular bimorph structure consists of two flexible piezoelectric ceramic layers and one metallic layer in the middle, and is powered to produce flexural deformation. The CBPA, which may be a good match for large adaptive optics telescopes, has a large stroke and a high resonance frequency. We have derived analytical solutions (both the static solution and the dynamic solution) of the thermal effects of introducing (and increasing the thickness of) a metallic layer into the bimorph. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the dependence of the CBPA's performance upon the physical parameters.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
