Figure 3 Performance graphs of the piezoelectric bending actuators. (A) Displacement of the piezo
as a function Offrequency and voltage. (B) The acoustic emissions of the piezo as a function of
displacement at different frequencies. Frequendes below IOOHz did not produce any acoustic
emissions significantly greater than the background noise. (C) Displacement as a function of
frequency at two voltages. This graph highlights the resonant peaks at 30 and 300Hz.
