Piezoelectric Actuators

Control Applications of Smart Materials

Beschreibung

A collation of the authors' latest research, this book focuses on control applications that use piezoelectric actuators and sensors. They provide practical examples of engineering applications, such as flexible structures, flexible robotic manipulators, fine motion control, hydraulic control, and shunt damping. For each application, the consecutive process is presented, such as actuator design system modeling, analysis, control strategy formulation, experimental setup, and control performance. This information is useful in the design of new machines or devices featuring smart material actuators and sensors integrating with piezoelectric materials.
