Study on Piezoelectric Actuators in Vibration Control of a Planar Parallel Manipulator

چکیده
This paper presents a new approach for the use of piezoelectric materials, PVDF and PZT, for vibration attenuation of a planar parallel manipulator. Since lightweight linkages of parallel manipulators deform under high acceleration/deceleration, such motion induced vibration would have to be damped quickly to reduce settling time of the platform position. An active damping controller is developed, which consists of a PD feedback control scheme, applied to linear actuators for rigid body motions, and a linear velocity feedback (L-type) scheme applied to either PVDF layer or PZT actuators for vibration attenuation. Simulation results show that piezoelectric materials yield good damping performance, resulting in precise manipulations of the planar parallel manipulator.

Temperature Effects on Nonlinear Vibration of FGM Plates Coupled with Piezoelectric Actuators
An analytical solution for a sandwich circular FGM plate coupled with piezoelectric layers under one-dimension heat conduction is presented in this paper. A nonlinear static problem is solved first to determine the initial stress state and pre-vibration deformations. By adding an incremental dynamic state to the pre-vibration state, the differential equations are derived. The role of thermal en...

This paper evaluates a new and simple controller design method based on QFT (quantitative feedback theory) for a two-link manipulator whose first link is rigid and the second is flexible. A piezoelectric patch is attached to the surface of the flexible link for vibration suppression of it. This system is modeled as a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control systems whose inputs are two...

متن کاملDynamic Modelling and Vibration Control of a Planar Parallel Manipulator with Structurally Flexible Linkages
A parallel manipulator provides an alternative design to serial manipulators, and can be found in many applications such as mining machines (Arai et al., 1991). Through the design of active joints such that actuators are fixed to the manipulator base, the mass of moving components of the parallel manipulator is greatly reduced, and high speed and high acceleration performance may be achieved. P...
