Recently, there has been increased incessantly an interest in research area on micro-fluidic pump for electronic and biological applications. The proposed pump takes an unobtrusive operation into the simple displacing mechanism using peristaltic traveling waves without the physical moving valves. And, this piezopump makes up a panel type design. The ATILA simulation was performed to estimate the operating frequency of the vibrating wave mode, to optimize the design conditions of piezopump such as structure, elastic body material, piezoelectric ceramics, and to analyze the distribution of vibration displacement. The best measured value of the pumping rate is about $118{\mu}l$/min under the following parameters : 4-wave mode, 50kHz operating frequency, $200V_p$.

The therapy of injecting a fixed amount of a prescribed drug for a predetermined time is an effective treatment in relieving pain during anticancer treatments. Due to recent medical technology development, cancer is currently classified as a disease that can be managed in the patient's lifetime. If patients were able to use a drug delivery system that was portable, sustainable and had an accurate flow control, they would be able to inject medication whenever they need. In this study we developed a piezoelectric micropump for a drug delivery system by designing a pump chamber, check valve and diaphragm. We also developed a driving circuit that consumes low power and to which we applied a variety of signals. We fabricated a portable drug delivery system with this piezoelectric micropump and driving circuit. In addition, through a performance test, we confirmed that the system can precisely control the drug flow rate.

The piezoelectric-hydraulic actuator is a hybrid device that consists of a hydraulic pump driven by a piezo-stack coupled to a conventional hydraulic cylinder. The actuator is of compact size, but can produce a moderate energy output. Such hybrid actuators are currently being researched and developed in many industrialized countries due to the requirement for high performance and compact flight systems. In a previous study, we designed and manufactured a unidirectional hybrid actuator. However, the blocking force was not as high as expected. Therefore, in this study, we redesigned the pump chamber and hydraulic cylinder and also improved the system by removing the air bubbles. Two different types of piezo-stacks were used. In order to achieve bidirectional capabilities in the actuator, commercial solenoid valves were used to control the direction of the output cylinder. Experimental testing of the actuator in unidirectional and bidirectional modes was performed to examine performance issues related to driving frequency, bias pressure, reed valve thickness, etc. The results showed that the maximum blocking force was measured as 970.2N when the frequency was 185Hz.

The low-cost, simple structured micropump which is actuated by piezoelectricdiscs, is fabricated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and the performances of the micropump, such as pump rate and backward pressure, are characterized. The PDMS micropump with diffusers instead of passive check valves as a flow-rectifying element was fabricated. While the square wave driving voltage is applied to the piezoelectric disc of the actuator, the flow rate is measured by fluid displacement variation of the outlet tube. The flow rate of micropump increases with enhancing the applied voltage due to the increase of diaphragm deflection. The flow rate and the backward pressure of the micropump with diffusers are about $32.9{\mu}{\el}$/min and 173Pa respectively for the above mentioned deflection conditions.

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.

In this study a numerical analysis has been conducted for the flow characteristics and pumping performance of a piezoelectric-based micropump with electromagnetic resistance exerted on electrically conducting fluid. Here, electromagnetic resistance is alternately applied at the inlet and outlet with alternately applied magnetic fields in association with the reciprocal membrane motion of the piezoelectric-based micropump. A model of Prescribed Deformation is used for the description of the membrane motion. The internal flow characteristics and pumping performance are investigated with the variation of magnetic flux density, tube size, displacement of membrane and the frequency of the membrane. It turns out that the current micropump has a wide range of pumping flow rate compared with diffuser-nozzle based micropumps.

본 논문에서는 압전유압펌프가 적용된 브레이크 등가 유압회로를 구성하고, 유압회로의 가감압 특성 실험 및 부하압 제어에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 유압회로의 가감압 특성을 파악하기 위해 펌프 입력 전압에 따른 부하압 형성 실험을 수행하였고, 솔레노이드 밸브 특성이 감압에 미치는 효과를 파악하는 실험을 수행하였다. 가압 특성 실험을 통해 유압회로의 부하압 상승에 필요한 과도응답시간은 압력상승 구배를 조절하는 전압제어를 적용하여 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였고, 감압시는 솔레노이드 밸브 특성을 활용한 밸브 개폐시간 제어와 전압제어를 통해 과도응답시간 개선이 가능함을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 제어기법을 적용하여 부하압 제어실험을 수행한 결과, 가압의 경우 10ms 이내로, 감압의 경우 30ms 이내로 과도응답시간을 개선할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 부하압 제어기법은 압전유압펌프가 적용된 유압 브레이크 회로의 부하압을 제어하는데 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

Micropump is very useful component in micro/nano fluidics and bioMEMS applications. Using the flexural vibration mode of PZT bar, a piezopump is successfully made. The PZT bar is polarized with thickness direction. The proposed structure for the piezo-pump consists of an input and an output port, piezoelectric ceramic actuator, actuator support, diaphragm. The traveling flexural wave along the bar is obtained by dividing two standing waves which are temporally and spatially phase shifted by 90 degrees from each other. Fluid is drawn into a forming chamber, eventually the forming chamber closes trapping the fluid therein.
