Piezodrives are used in precision engineering, aerospace, machining, adaptive optics for optical manipulation, nano displacement for precision manipulation in medical science and nanotechnology [1]. The piezodrive is actuated precision mechatronics system and transfer electrical energy to mechanical energy. This piezodrive is used in scanning microscopy in nanotechnology and medical science for research on DNA [1 – 18]. With use physical mathematical method the structural diagram is obtained for the piezodrive. The structural diagram of the piezodrive is determined the transformation of electrical energy into mechanical energy in difference from Mason’s and Cady’s circuits [5– 36]. The structural diagram of the piezodrive is determined with using the equation of the linear ordinary second-order differential equation and the equation for the reverse piezoeffect [37 – 65].
From the set of the equations for the structural diagram its matrix transfer function is obtained.
