Q1) A simple linear actuator is made by stacking alternating conducting disks and piezoelectric disks as shown in the figure below. There are N piezoelectric disis, ench of thickness t and radius a, and N+1 conducting plates. The conducting isk's whole purpose is to apply an external voltage to enerau in electric field intensity in the piezoelectric disks. Given the properties of the piezoelectric material (relative permittivity lonii and piezocieutric constant di):
a. Derive the displacement of the stack for an appiied voltage V (neglect the normal component).
b. Derive the force the stack can generate for an applied voltage V .
c. By using the table below, calculate the displacement and force for a 33 cut barium titanate oxide (BaTiO3) piezoeicutric with dimensions a=10mm,t=1mm, and V=36V for a stack with N=40 disks.
d. What is the maximum possible displacement and force if the breakdown electric field in the crystal is 32,000Vmm whereas the breakdown voltage in air is 3000Vmm?
