Design and simulation of solid state micropump based on piezoelectric actuator

Abstract

In this research, design, and simulation of solidstate insulin micropump based on piezoelectric actuator for wearable insulin pump device to human body was introduced. The objectives of the design are reducing frequent dosing, oral therapy, and painful injections for diabetes conditions. We presented key concepts, operation principle, design of the pump, material selection, theoretical study, optimization of the pump using finite element analysis and simulation of the pump. All the simulations are done using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3a software.
