A Survey on Experimental Characterization of Hysteresis in Piezoceramic Actuators

Abstract

In this paper, appropriate experiments were performed to explore the hysteresis in piezoceramic actuators under different excitations, and the experimental data were analyzed to describe the relations between frequency, amplitude and waveform of excitations, actuators temperature and hysteresis loops of piezoceramic actuators, based on maximum hysteresis error (MHE), peak-to-peak output amplitude (PPOA) and the ratio of MHE to PPOA (ROMP) of the curves. Finally, we proposed several advices on the use and research of piezoceramic actuators.

Research on Linear Actuators for Active Foil Bearings

“…The authors wrote that the piezoelectric vibration suppression technology utilises the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials to suppress the vibration of mechanisms through stress or strain. Chen et al [11] presented a study on the experimental characterization of hysteresis in piezoceramic actuators. The authors showed the equipment used in their experimental study.…”
