The figure below shows a schematic of a simplied model of an inkjet
printer head that uses piezoelectric actuation. It consists of a PZT
disk of diameter 2000 um, and thickness 10 um. The disk is fixed to a
frame at the top. The ink-well is below the bottom surface. If this
were to print with 600 dpi (dots per inch) resolution with the printed
film thickness of 2 um, determine the value of the voltage to be
applied to the PZT disk. The piezoelectric coefficient relating the
strain in the thickness direction of the disk and the voltage applied is
480E-12 m/V.
