...Oliver J. Myers; M. Anjanappa; C. Freidhoff This paper presents a methodology toward designing, analyzing, and optimizing piezoelectric interdigitated microactuators using multiphysics finite element analysis. The models used in this paper were based on a circularly interdigitated design that takes...

...Mandar Deshpande; Laxman Saggere This paper presents systematic modeling and design of an optically powered piezoelectric microactuator for driving a microfluidic dispenser that could find a potential application in a retinal prosthesis. The first part of the paper treats a microactuator system...

... of finite rigid body rotations, an FR sequence can effect non-zero changes in orientation of the rigid body even though the net rotation about each axis is zero. The FR sequences are useful for attitude maneuvers of miniature spacecraft that use elastic deformation-based microactuators and for other...
