Piezoelectric materials, in particular lead zirconate titanate ceramics,are used in applications that require control of displacement within a small range of motion withhigh precision and high resolution. Therefore, the piezoelectric materials are commonly used inmicro-positioning systems such as in Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) [1]. They are used innumerous fields such as biomedical, automotive, aerospace and optical engineering [2].Piezoelectric materials are used as flexible structures to replace the bulky classic mechanical, thusoccupying less space in the micro
