The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of problems and some research gaps for
better understanding of piezoelectric micropump studies. Micropumps have important and …

A commercial micropump should provide properties that justify the simple structure and
miniaturization, high reliability, simple working principle, low cost and no need for complex …

In this study, the static displacement behaviour of a three-layer axisymmetric circular
piezoelectric unimorph actuator subjected to voltage and uniform pressure loads for different …

This paper presents two piezoelectric based micropumps for biomedical applications. First,
Single Diaphragm Micropump (SDM) was proposed as reference micropump. Second, Bi …

This paper presents the diaphragm displacement analysis of multi-layered circular
