Mechanical Response of a Macro-Fibre Composite-Bonded Cantilever Beam and Its Sandwich Configuration for Low-Intrusion Deformation Suppression

Macro-fibre composite (MFC) actuators offer improved flexibility and damage tolerance over monolithic piezoceramics, which have been widely utilised recently. However, direct bonding to a heritage substrate of MFC actuators may cause local stress concentration and complicate remo...
