A. Modelling Equations
As already mentioned that piezoelectric material has two
modes of operation d31 and d33. The following equations show
relation between stress yy or strain y3 generated and electric
field Ej or voltage V3j.

III. CONCLUSION
A two element array of MEMS piezoelectric cantilever for
sensing application is simulated and optimized using
COMSOL multiphysics software tool. Stationary and eigen
frequency analysis were performed using software. In first
step stress generated across the cantilever for various value of
PZT layer thickness for the force applied of 15N is studied.
According to this study piezoelectric layer thickness is
optimized as 1.5m as shown in the fig.4. Further the effect of
force on stress is studied and according to fig.5 as force
increases stress . Similarly the effect of length of cantilever on
stress and displacement is studied as shown in the fig. 6 and
fig.7. In fig.8 and 9 displacement of cantilever for various
eigen frequencies is shown.
