This paper reports on the fluid flow simulation results of a multilayer type piezoelectric valve. The mechanical and fluidic analysis are done by finite element method. The designed structure is normally closed type using buckling effect, which is consist of three separate structures; a valve seat die, an actuator die and a MLCA(Multilayer Type Ceramic Actuator). It is confirmed that the complete laminar flow and the lowest flow leakage are strongly depend on the valve seat geometry. In addition, turbulent flow was occurs in valve outlet according to increase seat dimension, height and inlet pressure. From this, we was deducts the optimum geometry of the valve seat and diaphragm deflection that have an great influence fluid flow in valve. Thus, it is expected that our simulation results would be apply for piezoelectric applications such as valve and pump, fluidic control systems.

This study presents the combined effect of electric field application and mechanical compressive stress loading on deformation in a multilayer ceramic actuator, designed with stacking alternatively $0.2(PbMn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}O_3)-0.8(PbZr_{0.475}Ti_{0.525}O_3)$ ceramics and Ag-Pd electrode. The deformation behaviors were thought to be attributed to relative $180^{\circ}$domain quantities which is determined by pre-loaded stress and electric field. The non-linearity of piezoelectricity and strain are dependent upon the young's modulus resulting from the domain reorientation.

In this study, in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics using ${Fe_2}{O_3}$ and $WO_3$ as sintering aids were manufactured with the amount of $WO_3$ addition, and the specimens were sintered at 900, 930, $960^{\circ}C$, respectively. Thereafter, their dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The sintering aids were proved to lower the sintering temperature of piezoelectric ceramics due to the effects of ${Fe_2}{O_3}$ and $WO_3$ liquid phase. At 0.3wt% $WO_3$ added specimen sintered at $930^{\circ}C$, kp, Qm, dielectric constant and $d_{33}$ showed the optimum values of 0.60, 1402, 1440 and 360[pC/N], respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

In the present study, the piezoelectricity and polarization of multilayer ceramic actuator, being designed to stack PMN-PZ-PT ceramic layers and Ag-Pd electrode layers alternatively, were investigated under a consideration of geometric factor, the volume ratio of the ceramic to the electrode layers. The actuators were fabricated by tape casting of 0.2Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.38PbZrO3-0.42PbTiO3 followed by lamination and burnout & co-firing processes. The actuators of 10 10 0.62 nm3 in size were formed in a way that 60 200 m thick ceramics were stacked alternatively with 5 m thick electrode layer. Increases in polarization and electric field-induced displacement with thickness of the ceramic layer were attributed to change of 90o/180o domain ratio, which was affected by interlayer internal stress. The piezoelectricity and actuation behaviors were found to depend upon the volume ratio (or thickness ratio) of ceramic to electrode layers.

In this paper, in order to develop low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application, PMN-PZN-PZT ceramics were fabricated using $LiCO_3,\;Bi_2O_3$ and CuO as sintering aids. And also, their piezoelectric and dielectric properties were investigated according to the milling time. All the specimens sintered at $930\;^{\circ}C$ showed tetragonal phases without secondary phases. With increasing milling time, piezoelectric and dielectric characteristic of specimens increased up to 60 hours milling time and then decreased due to the agglomeration of fine particle. Accordingly, it seems that 60 hour is optimum milling condition. At the sintering temperature of $930\;^{\circ}C$ and milling time of 60 hour, density, dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$), electromechanical coupling factor (kp), mechanical quality factor (Qm), piezoelectric d constant showed the optimum value of $7.95\;g/m^3$, 1382, 0.546, 1749, 330 pC/N, respectively for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.
