Speed Estimation of Adaptive Fuzzy-Controlled Piezo-Electric Motor using MLP-Neural Network

The speed of ultrasonic motor of piezo-electric type is usually measured using mechanical sensors such as pulse encoders. However, these sensors are costly and bulky. In this paper, a numerical speed estimation approach of a piezo-electric motor (PEM) is implemented using multilayer perception neural network (MLP-NN). The proposed model evaluates rotational speed and load torque based on the am...

Flow Characterization of a Piezo-Electric High Speed Valve

Injecting a gas into fusion reactors or semiconductor manufacturing systems, one has to quickly control the flow rate by a piezoelectric valve. In order to construct a gas injection system with high speed valves in the future, performance tests have been conducted on a commercial piezoelectric valve. An orifice flowmeter for measuring time average flowrate and a hot wire anemometer for instanta...

Energy Harvesting from Vibrating Piezo-Electric Structures

The process of capturing the energy from a system’s environment or surrounding and converting it into usable electrical energy is termed as energy harvesting. One form of energy harvesting is to employ piezoelectric materials to harvest energy from vibrating structures. These materials have the ability to absorb the mechanical energy and transform it into electrical energy that can be used to p...
