A commercial brass reinforced PZ bimorph cantilever of the type 5H4E was simulated using COMSOL FEM software and then a serious of experimental tests were carried out in a vibration laboratory using a labview of NI make as instrumentation and control system. By using a shaker the cantilever was vibr...
