This paper proposes a motion de-amplification-based actuator design, which comprises coarse and fine-stages that respectively achieve macro and micro-scale linear actuation. The proposed ...

High-performance linear piezoelectric platform is the core equipment for micro-nano manipulation and ultra-precision manufacturing. A novel resonant linear piezoelectric platform (RLPP) with ...

An micro/macro mechanics model formulation and approach for the stress analysis of unidirectional laminated metal matrix composites has been described and a new constitutive equation is proposed.
