Development of a Micro-Gripper Using Piezoelectric Bimorphs
Piezoelectric bimorphs have been used as a micro-gripper in many applications, but the system might be complex and the response performance might not have been fully characterized. In this study the dynamic characteristics of bending piezoelectric bimorphs actuators were theoretically and experimentally investigated for micro-gripping applications in terms of deflection along the length, transi...
متن کاملApplication of Piezoelectric and Functionally Graded Materials in Designing Electrostatically Actuated Micro Switches
In this research, a functionally graded microbeam bonded with piezoelectric layers is analyzed under electric force. Static and dynamic instability due to the electric actuation is studied because of its importance in micro electro mechanical systems, especially in micro switches. In order to prevent pull-in instability, two piezoelectric layers are used as sensor and actuator. A current amplif...
متن کاملModelling and control of a piezo actuated micro robot with active force control capability for in-pipe application
In this paper, a piezo actuated micro robot with active force control (AFC) capability is modelled and simulated for an in-pipe application. A mathematical model that describes the dynamic characteristics of the micro robot is first presented. The dynamic response of the robot system subjected to different input excitations is then investigated by initially considering a conventional proportion...
متن کاملPiezoelectric Actuated In-pipe Microrobot with P-type Iterative Learning Active Force Control
In this paper, a piezoelectric microrobot is modelled and simulated based on active force control (AFC) with a proportional (P) – type iterative learning algorithm (ILA) operating in a constrained environment for an in-pipe application. A mathematical model that represents the dynamic characteristics of microrobot has been developed considering the robot system subjected to different input exci...
متن کاملStabilization of Electrostatically Actuated Micro-pipe Conveying Fluid Using Parametric Excitation
This paper investigates the parametric excitation of a micro-pipe conveying fluid suspended between two symmetric electrodes. Electrostatically actuated micro-pipes may become unstable when the exciting voltage is greater than the pull-in value. It is demonstrated that the parametric excitation of a micro-pipe by periodic (ac) voltages may have a stabilizing effect and permit an increase of the...
