Control of Piezoelectric Benders Using a Charge Drive
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article describes the use of a charge amplifier to improve the linearity of a piezoelectric bender. Existing charge drive circuits can not be directly applied to bimorph piezoelectric benders since they share a common electrode. In this article a new charge drive circuit and electrical configuration is described that allows piezoelectric bimorphs to be linearised with charge. Experimental results demonstrate that the use of a charge source reduces hysteresis from 16.56% to 0.26%.

Buckling Analysis of FG Plate with Smart Sensor/Actuator
In this paper, the active buckling control of smart functionally graded (FG) plates using piezoelectric sensor/actuator patches is studied. A simply supported FG rectangular plate which is bonded with piezoelectric rectangular patches on the top and/or the bottom surface(s) as actuators/sensors is considered. When a constant electric charge is imposed, the governing differential equations of mo...

متن کاملFundamental 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 کاملQuantitative scanning probe microscope topographies by charge linearization of the vertical actuator.
Many forms of scanning probe microscopy require a piezoelectric actuator to vary the probe-sample distance. Examples include constant-force atomic force microscopy and constant-current scanning tunneling microscopy. In such modes, the topography of the sample is reconstructed from the voltage applied to the vertical piezoelectric actuator. However, piezoelectric actuators exhibit significant hy...
