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 …

Investigation on Open Loop Position Control of Amplified Piezoactuator
Abstract: Amplified piezoelectric actuators (APAs) consist of stacked piezoelectric actuators inside a flexural mechanical amplifier which helps in amplifying the displacements of the piezostacks in static and dynamic conditions. Accounting for their precision movement and dynamic characteristics, these actuators are extensively used in micropositioning, active damping, and microactuation applications. In this paper, FEM analysis of mechanical flexural amplifier of APA230L piezoactuator was performed to estimate its stiffness in the horizontal direction …
