To solve the calculation of ultimate pressure of piezo-pump and the design of piezoelectric actuators
an approach according to the parameters of piezoelectric actuators is presented. Under the assumption of small elastic deformation
the equivalent concentrated force and output force coefficient of piezoelectric actuators are evaluated to investigate the output characteristics
and the corresponding formulas are deduced. The model is simulated by MATLAB. The affecting types of piezoelectric actuators parameters on the ultimate pressure of piezo-pump and the common scope are analyzed. The results show that the effect of elastic modulus of epoxy layer and Poisson's ratio of each layer can be neglected. When the thickness of plate is less than 0.8 mm
output pressure increases linearly with the thickness. When the thickness of plate is less than 0.4 mm and the piezoelectric layer less than 0.3 mm
output pressure increases significantly with the reduced thickness of piezoelectric layer. The calculation coincides with the experiment.
