Abstract
The present invention relates to a sandwich-structure flat active actuator that is symmetrical relative to the mid-plane comprising at least one piezoelectric flat layer having an active direction superpose and fixedly attached to at least one passive flat layer of fabric with rigid warp and weft oriented in two directions forming a mesh; the two directions of each layer of fabric are the same. The active direction of each piezoelectric layer is oriented along one and the same diagonal of the mesh of the layers of fabric. The invention is also aimed at a device consisting of two actuators mounted head-to-tail. The invention applies to the active torsion of structures such as, for example, a helicopter blade.
