Fundamental Limits on Energy Transfer and Circuit Considerations for Piezoelectric Transformers
This work investigates fundamental limits on electromechanical energy conversion capacity of piezoelectric transformers by considering a work cycle analysis. Fundamental limitations in a lossless piezoelectric transformer are imposed by maximum electric field strength, maximum surface charge density, maximum stress, and maximum strain. For the lossless case, our analysis indicates that the mech...
متن کاملA New Electromagnetic Valve Actuator
In conventional internal combustion (IC) engines, engine valve displacements are fixed relative to crankshaft position. If these valves are actuated as a variable function of crankshaft angle, significant improvements in fuel economy can be achieved. Existing electromagnetically actuated variable-valve-timing (VVT) systems characteristically use springs to provide the large inertial power to mo...

In this paper, an adaptive nonlinear controller is designed for rotor Surface Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (SPMSM) drive on the basis of Input-Output Feedback Control (IOFC), and Recursive Least Square (RLS) method. The RLS estimator detects the motor electromechanical parameters, including the motor iron loss resistance online. Moreover, a Sliding-Mode (SM) observer is developed for onli...
متن کاملOutput Feedback H∞ Preview Control of an Electromechanical Valve Actuator
In an electro-mechanical valve actuated engine, solenoid actuators drive the valves that control airflow into the cylinders, allowing elimination of the camshaft and flexible control of the valve timing. Individual control of the valves provides flexibility in valve timing over all engine operating conditions and fully enables the benefits of variable valve timing. This paper describes a closed...
متن کاملModeling & Nonlinear Control for Soft Landing of an Electromechanical Valve Actuator
A considerable amount of research is currently being done on electromechanical valve (EMV) actuators as a potential replacement for the camshaft in order to achieve variable valve timing. Unfortunately, EMV actuators suffer from large impact velocities between the valve, valve seat, and the actuator itself resulting in excessive wear on the system and producing unacceptable levels of noise. Add...
