The
experimental setup in preparation at the Engineering
Science and Mechanics Dept. of Virginia Tech, involves
the mounting of PZT actuators on a plate as shown below.
The green and blue boxes represent the actuators and
the TTN electrically connecting them.
The
cheapest ACX actuators are active only in one direction;
therefore the first prototype will realized with following
positioning of these actuators.
The
simplest two-dimensional electric wave-guide will be
realized at first.
