1-DOF , 1.3X structure with actuator and spar sensors

 

(1)   Date of fabrication

01/01

(2)   Dimmensions of structure

 6.5mm flexures

4 bar dimensions: 6,6,6,.5 mm

(3)   Actuator parameters

16X6 PZT

(4)   Resonant frequency

75 Hz, although attempting to increase this

(5)   Amplitude of motion

90 degrees at resonance

(6)   Tests performed, duration of testing, mode of failure (if applicable)
