“…They are not easily damaged, by severe shock and/or vibration, and they perform well over a wide temperature range [1]. They offer a wide range of applications from classical ultrasonic devices [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], fuel injection systems [7], [8], [9], [10], smart structures [11], [12], [13], [14], high precision positioning equipment [15], [16], [17] for electronic manufacturing and other domains, energy harvesting [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24] and gas sensing [25]. These systems are particularly supported by the cleanroom technology, using the increasing possibility of micro fabrication techniques, to integrate active materials and designs with compliant structures.…”
