Discovery of sparse hysteresis models for piezoelectric materials

A database to enable discovery and design of piezoelectric materials

Piezoelectric materials are used in numerous applications requiring a coupling between electrical fields and mechanical strain. Despite the technological importance of this class of materials, for only a small fraction of all inorganic compounds which display compatible crystallographic symmetry, has piezoelectricity been characterized experimentally or computationally. In this work we employ f...

Modeling Rate-dependent Hysteresis in Piezoelectric Actuator

Hysteresis of a piezoelectric actuator is ratedependent. Most hysteresis models are based on elementary rate-independent operators and are not suitable for modeling actuator behavior across a wide frequency band. This work proposes a rate-dependent modified PrandtlIshlinskii (PI) operator to account for the hysteresis of a piezoelectric actuator at varying frequency. We have shown experimentall...

Adaptive feed-forward hysteresis compensation for piezoelectric actuators.

Piezoelectric actuators are often employed for high-resolution positioning tasks. Hysteresis and creep nonlinearities inherent in such actuators deteriorate positioning accuracy. An online adaptive nonlinear hysteresis compensation scheme for the case of symmetric hysteretic responses and certain periodic reference trajectories is presented. The method has low complexity and is well suited for ...

A Hysteresis Model for Piezoceramic Materials

This paper addresses the modeling of nonlinear constitutive relations and hysteresis inherent to piezoceramic materials at moderate to high drive levels. Such models are necessary to realize the full potential of the materials in high performance control applications, and a necessary prerequisite is the development of techniques which permit control implementation. The approach employed here is...
