Experiments 4/5 - PEM plate

 

 

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.
