Sensors (Basel). 2018 Jul 2;18(7):2115. doi: 10.3390/s18072115.

Abstract

Diamond amplifiers have been widely applied in Nano actuators and Robots. In order to study the dynamic characteristics of the diamond amplifier system which is used in the piezo jet dispenser, it is simplified as a spring-mass-damper system. The dynamic characteristics of the jet dispenser system are analyzed with the simplified method. The characteristics are also tested. The results agree with the simulation, which proves the method is feasible. It will provide a simplified and intuitive representation of the movement of the amplifier, and also provide reliable simulation and experimental platforms for jet dispensing analysis.
