...Mark Kimber; Suresh V. Garimella Piezoelectric fans are vibrating cantilevers actuated by a piezoelectric material and can provide heat transfer enhancement while consuming little power. Past research has focused on feasibility and performance characterization of a single fan, while arrays...

... electronics cooling vibrating cantilever heat transfer enhancement A piezoelectric fan consists of a piezoelectric material bonded to a flexible cantilever blade. An alternating input signal causes the piezoelectric material to contract and expand, generating bending moments on the blade...
