Novel active twist rotor blades require low profile piezocomposite actuators which are integrated into the blade skin. Operating as solid state actuators they generate a twist deformation of the rotor blade without any friction and wear. To provide sufficient strain it is necessary, that the actuator operates in the piezoelectric d33-mode. State-of-the-art piezocomposites that exploit the d33-effe ...
