ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a piezoelectric unit cell. The piezoelectric unit cell comprises two piezoelectric mechanically biased bender-elements placed together end-to-end and held together at their ends, the two bender-elements being mechanically biased in opposite directions such that each element is in contact only at their ends.
