Open Loop Nonlinear Optimal Tracking Control of a Magnetostrictive Terfenol-D Actuator
نویسندگان
چکیده
A homogenized energy model was implemented in a model-based nonlinear control design to accurately track a reference displacement signal for high frequency magnetostrictive actuator applications. Rate dependent nonlinear and hysteretic magnetostrictive constitutive behavior is incorporated into the finite-dimensional optimal control design to improve control at high frequency. The integration of the rate-dependent nonlinear and hysteretic magnetostrictive constitutive model in the control design minimized the amount of feedback required for precision control. The control design is validated experimentally and shown to accurately track a reference signal at frequencies up to at least 1 kHz.

Experimental Implementation of a Hybrid Nonlinear Control Design for Magnetostrictive Actuators
A hybrid nonlinear optimal control design is experimentally implemented on a magnetostrictive Terfenol-D actuator to illustrate enhanced tracking control at relatively high speed. The control design employs a homogenized energy model to quantify rate-dependent nonlinear and hysteretic ferromagnetic switching behavior. The homogenized energy model is incorporated into a finite-dimensional nonlin...
متن کاملNonlinear Optimal Control Techniques for Vibration Attenuation Using Magnetostrictive Actuators
This paper addresses the development of a nonlinear control design for attenuating structural vibrations using magnetostrictive transducers operating in nonlinear and highly hysteretic operating regimes. We consider as a prototype a thin plate subjected to exogenous pressure waves and controlled via Terfenol-D transducers at the plate edges; however the methodology is sufficiently general to en...
متن کاملDesign and Application of Magnetostrictive “MS” Materials
Magnetostriction is the change in shape of materials under the influence of an external magnetic field. The cause of magnetostriction change in length is the result of the rotation of small magnetic domains. This rotation and re-orientation causes internal strains in the material structure. The strains in the structure lead to the stretching (in the case of positive magnetostriction) of the mat...
متن کاملActive vibration control using Terfenol-D with H-infinity filter
In this paper a magnetostrictive material (Terfenol-D) based active vibration control of high amplitude has been proposed. A single link planar flexible manipulator with rotary joint has been modelled using Terfenol-D as smart active material. H-infinity filter is used in the context to estimate the tip deflection (position) and deflection rate (velocity) of the flexible manipulator based on wh...
متن کاملControl of hysteresis: theory and experimental results∗
Hysteresis in smart materials hinders the wider applicability of such materials in actuators. In this paper, a systematic approach for coping with hysteresis is presented. The method is illustrated through the example of controlling a commercially available magnetostrictive actuator. We utilize the low-dimensional model for the magnetostrictive actuator that was developed in earlier work. For l...
