Abstract:Piezoelectric materials are excellent actuator candidates due to their high frequency bandwidth. However, hysteresis and nonlinear material effects can reduce their overall performance, particularly when driven at high amplitudes and high frequencies. Of interest here is an application for high-frequency actuation. The demand for actuation authority requires careful characterization and accurate modeling of the piezoelectric actuator dynamics to ensure the intended performance. This paper presents such a chara… Show more
