The emphasis is on non-resonant sensors and actuators, but most results are applicable to resonant devices and large structures as well. Characteristic features and challenges of this modeling endeavor are pointed out. Piezoelectrically actuated bending is examined, and it is shown that appropriate solid elements can work remarkably efficiently despite the sheet-like structural features. Next, a method, employing finite-element analyses, for creating an equivalent circuit representing the electrical behavior of a linear device is presented. FEM discretization errors associated with this procedure are then analyzed. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9666135-7-0 |
