An Approach to Reduction of Hysteresis in Smart Materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of reducing the hysteresis found in the actuation of most smart materials. They are divided in two groups: systems with no saturation (e.g. piezoelectric actuators), and systems with saturation (e.g. Shape Memory Actuators). For the control of the rst group the concept of phaser is introduced, an operator which shifts the phase of a periodic signal but keeps its magnitude unchanged. Since it is possible to approximate phasers with linear lters, it is possible to design practical compensators. The design of a phaser requires the knowledge of one parameter , easily identi ed from experimental transfer function estimates. For the second group, two phasers are used in a tandem connection. One phaser is designed as described before, and the second is designed so as to vary with the input. This compensation reduces the hysteresis to a single saturation. To show its e ectiveness, simulation results are provided using the hystery model, then the method is applied to an SMA actuator. The e ectiveness of a single phaser for non-saturated hysteresis have already been experimentally demonstrated in previous work.

L1 Adaptive Control of Hysteresis in Smart Materials
Smart materials display coupling between electrical, magnetic, thermal and elastic behavior. Hence these materials have inherent sensing and actuation capacities. However, the hysteresis inherent to smart materials presents a challenge in control of these actuators/sensors. Inverse compensation is a fundamental approach to cope with hysteresis, where one aims to cancel out the hysteresis effect...

Hysteresis in smart materials hinders their wider applicability in actuators. The low dimensional hysteresis models for these materials are hybrid systems with both controlled switching and autonomous switching. In particular, they belong to the class of Duhem hysteresis models and can be formulated as systems with both continuous and switching controls. In this paper, we study the control meth...
