The axial displacement of a tube actuator can be estimated by: \begin{equation} \Delta L_{axial} = d_{31(GS)} \frac{l}{t} V \end{equation} Whereas the lateral displacement can be estimated by: \begin{equation} \Delta L_{lateral} = 0.9 d_{31(GS)} \frac{l^2}{(ID+t)t} V \end{equation} According to AmericanPiezo.com \cite{americanPiezo} the capacitance between electrodes is given by: \begin{equation} C_s= \frac{2 K_{33}^T EON l}{Ln(OD/ID)} \end{equation}
