Abstract
Based on a circular arc scanning model of piezoelectric tubes, the influence of the tip length mounted on a tube upon the transverse scanning and the relation between the vertical and the transverse displacement of the tip are reported. With this simple model one can obtain three- dimensional features of a piezoelectric tube scanner by just measuring the vertical deformation and a few geometric sizes of the tube without knowing the detailed parameters of the tube. The estimated scanning by the model may be 15% larger than the actually measured one for a certain piezoelectric tube because of the edge effects of the tube. However, the model can be simply revised on the basis of experiments.
