Abstract

The main point of this work is the comparison between linear and geometrically non-linear elasticity modeling in the field of piezoelectric actuators fabricated at the micro-scale. Manufacturing limitations such as non-symmetrical lamination of the structure or minimum length scale are taken into account during the optimization process. The robust approach implemented in the problem also reduces the sensitivity of the designs to small manufacturing errors.
