Investigations on Piezoactuator-Based Active Vibration Isolation for Tool-Based Micromachining Applications
Abstract: Stacked piezoactuators are suitable actuators for active vibration isolation systems due to their high stiffness and fast response. However, they exhibit hysteresis nonlinearity between applied voltage and the resulting displacement. In this paper, Bouc-Wen model is used to model the hysteresis nonlinearity of stacked piezoactuator. The model parameters are estimated from the experimental voltage-displacement data of a stacked piezoactuator using “Trust-region nonlinear least square method” in MATLAB Simulink. The resulting …
