A model is described for predicting quasi-static behavior of a piezoelectric forceps actuator (PFA), which consists of two slightly curved composite beams with bonded piezoelectric layers. The PFA is an innovative medical device that is potentially useful for minimum invasive surgery. The PFA model is compared to the deflection measurements made by a curvature sensor in experiments. This model, with a slight modification, can also be applied to other types of piezoelectric actuators with curved structural components.
