Multi-stimuli-responsive/-functional polymeric materials can respond to numerous stimuli and execute multiple tasks, overcoming barriers faced by single-stimuli materials. Herein, the development of hybrid piezoelectric–magnetic self-sensing actuator (HPMSA) that both sense actuate is proposed. This iron oxide/functionalized carbon nanotube/polyvinylidene fluoride film optimizes piezoelectric m...

A high-thrust screw-type piezoelectric ultrasonic motor with a three-wavelength exciting mode is proposed in this paper. The motor mainly includes a stator and a screw output shaft, and the stator is composed of twelve rectangular piezoelectric plates and a hollow metal elastomer with an internal thread. The stator can be excited to generate the combined micro ultrasonic vibration mode. With th...

in this paper, a numerical solution procedure is presented for the forced vibration of a piezoelectric nanowire under thermo-electro-mechanical loads based on the nonlocal elasticity theory within the framework of timoshenko beam theory. using hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing differential equations are derived. the governing equations and the related boundary conditions are discreti...

This paper proposes the adaptive fuzzy total sliding-mode control systems with integral (I-AFTSMC) and proportional-integral (PI-AFTSMC) learning algorithms for the unknown nonlinear systems. These AFTSMC systems are comprised of a fuzzy total sliding-mode controller and a robust controller. The fuzzy total sliding-mode controller is utilized to approximate an ideal controller and the robust co...

This paper presents a finite element formulation for the dynamics analysis of the steady and transient states of a nonlinear piezoelectric beam. A piezoelectric beam with damping is studied under harmonic excitation. A numerical method is used for this analysis. In the paper, the central difference formula of four order is used and compared with the central difference formula of two order in th...

Abstract: In many industrial applications like semiconductor production and optical inspection systems, the availability of positioning systems capable to follow trajectory paths in the range of several centimetres, featuring at the same time a nanometre-range precision, is demanding. Pure piezoelectric stages and standard positioning systems with motor and spindle are not able to meet such req...
