In previous papers, we suggested piezo-actuators models and compared them to existing works with respect to sinusoidal solicitations. The current paper aims to experimentally validate and refine them. For this purpose, the piezo-device is integrated in a well known system. This reveals that the modeling of the whole system requires additional artefact and good choice of simulation methods. Then we study the whole system dynamics in order to check the validity of our models. Thereafter, the final model is reversed in order to elaborate control loops in smart applications.
