Multiphysics Modeling of Piezoelectric Sensors and Actuators

Are you interested in modelling piezoelectric sensors and actuators? If so, then join us for this webinar.

In this webinar, James Ransley from Veryst Engineering will work through a case study in which the properties of a piezoelectric bender actuator are optimized. The material orientation and dimensions are optimized to maximize the efficiency of the bender for the application. The blocking curve is computed and the dimensions are modified to achieve a given specification with minimal actuator volume.

The study will also include a live demo of piezoelectric device design using the COMSOL Multiphysics(R) simulation software. A Q&A session will conclude the webinar.
