A Hybrid Compensation Scheme for the Input Rate-Dependent Hysteresis of the Piezoelectric Ceramic Actuators

A hybrid compensation scheme for piezoelectric ceramic actuators(PEAs)is proposed.In the hybrid compensation scheme,the input rate-dependent hysteresis characteristics of the PEAs are compensated.The feedforward controller is a novel input rate-dependent neural network hysteresis inverse model,while the feedback controller is a proportion integration differentiation(PID)controller.In the proposed inverse model,an input ratedependent auxiliary inverse operator(RAIO)and output of the hysteresis construct the expanded input space(EIS)of the inverse model which transforms the hysteresis inverse with multi-valued mapping into single-valued mapping,and the wiping-out,rate-dependent and continuous properties of the RAIO are analyzed in theories.Based on the EIS method,a hysteresis neural network inverse model,namely the dynamic back propagation neural network(DBPNN)model,is established.Moreover,a hybrid compensation scheme for the PEAs is designed to compensate for the hysteresis.Finally,the proposed method,the conventional PID controller and the hybrid controller with the modified input rate-dependent Prandtl-Ishlinskii(MRPI)model are all applied in the experimental platform.Experimental results show that the proposed method has obvious superiorities in the performance of the system.

A precision-drive hysteresis model with an equal-density weight function for GMA feedforward compensation

Giant magnetostrictive actuators(GMAs) are a widely used type of micro-nano actuator, and they are greatly significant in the field of precision engineering. The accuracy of a GMA often depends on its hysteresis model. However, existing models have some limitations,including the difficulty of identifying their parameters and the tradeoff between the quantity of modeling data required and the level of precision achieved. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose a Preisach inverse model based on equal-density segmentation of the weight function(E-Preisach). The weight function used to calculate the displacement is first discretized. Then, to obtain a finer weight distribution, the discretized geometric units are uniformly divided by area. This can further minimize the output displacement span, and it produces a higher-precision hysteresis model. The process of parameter identification is made easier by this approach, which also resolves the difficulty of obtaining high precision using a small amount of modeling data. The Preisach and the E-Preisach inverse models were investigated and compared using experiments. At frequencies of 1 and 5 Hz, it was found that the E-Preisach inverse model decreases the maximum error of the feedforward compensation open-loop control to within 1 μm and decreases the root-mean-square error in displacement to within0.5 μm without the need to increase the number of measured hysteresis loops. As a result, the E-Preisach inverse model streamlines the structure of the model and requires fewer parameters for modeling. This provides a high-precision modeling method using a small amount of modeling data;it will have applications in precision engineering fields such as active vibration damping and ultra-precision machining.

Modeling and Tracking Control for Piezoelectric Actuator Based on a New Asymmetric Hysteresis Model

This paper presents a new asymmetric hysteresis model and its application in the tracking control of piezoelectric actuators. The proposed model is based on a coupled-play operator which can avoid the conventional Prandtl-Ishlinskii(CPI)model's defects, i.e., the symmetric property. The high accuracy for modeling asymmetric hysteresis is validated by comparing simulation results with experimental measurements. In order to further evaluate the performance of the proposed model in closed-loop tracking application, two different hybrid control methods which experimentally demonstrate their performance under the same operating conditions, are compared to validate that the hybrid control strategy with proposed hysteresis model can mitigate the hysteresis more effectively and achieve better tracking precision. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed modeling and tracking control strategy can realize efficient control of piezoelectric actuator.

STRESS-STRAIN HYSTERESIS OF POLYCRYSTALLINE SMAs─Ⅰ:A MODEL

In this paper, a theoretical model was presented to simulate the stress-strain hysteresis and the inner hysteretic behaviors, which were observed for polycrystalline Ni-Ti and Cu-based shape memory alloys (SMAs) at various temperatures. It was assumed that the stress-strum hysteresis of the grains of a polycrystalline sample of SMAs was relatively simple and easy to be calculated. The texture of the sample was characterized by a distribution function, which could be obtained from the experiments. Thercfore,the model provided a means to simulate and, for the first time, to predict the stressstrain hysteresis at different loading temperatures for polycrystalline SMAs.

A five-parameter constitutive model for hysteresis shearing and energy dissipation of rock joints

Rock joints exhibit hysteresis shearing behavior and produce energy dissipation under shear cyclic loads,which however cannot be accurately depicted by existing constitutive models. This paper establishes a constitutive model for hysteresis shearing and associated energy dissipation of rock joints. Analytical expressions of the model during cyclic shearing processes are derived. Derivation of the model indicates no energy dissipation in the elastic stage. When the shear load exceeds elastic boundary, nonlinear energy dissipation takes place. Validations with experiments show that the proposed model provides good conformities with direct shear curves and hysteresis loops, and can predict the energy dissipation characteristics of rock joints under different working conditions. Compared to the constitutive models using Weibull's distribution, the proposed one is smooth at the elastic boundary and can accurately capture the maximum shear stress. Unlike the existing incremental-type models, the proposed one provides clear and direct analytical expressions for both shear stress and energy dissipation during the whole displacement domain, which is more convenient in application.

Neural model-based adaptive control for systems with unknown Preisach-type hysteresis

An adaptive control scheme is presented for systems with unknown hysteresis. In order to handle the case where the hysteresis output is unmeasurale, a novel model is firstly developed to describe the characteristic of hysteresis. This model is motivated by Preisach model but implemented by using neural networks ( NN) . The main advantage is that it is easily used for controller design. Then, the adaptive controller based on the proposed model is presented for a class of SISO nonlinear systems preceded by unknown hysteresis, which is estimated by the proposed model. The laws for model updating and the control laws for the neural adaptive controller are derived from Lyapunov stability theorem, therefore the semiglobal stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed. At last, the simulation results are illustrated.

Rate-Dependent Hysteresis Modeling and Compensation of Piezo-Driven Flexure-Based Mechanism

Updating parameters according to the driving rate of input, the rate-dependent Prandtl-Ishlinskii （PI） model is widely used in hysteresis modeling and compensation. In order to improve the modeling accuracy, two PI models identified at low and high driving rates separately are incorporated through a combination law. For the piezo- driven flexure-based mechanism, the very low damping ratio makes it easy to excite the structural vibration. As a re- suit, the measured hysteresis loop is greatly distorted and the modeling accuracy of the identified P1 model is signifi- cantly affected. In this paper, a novel time-efficient parameter identification method which utilizes the superimposed sinusoidal signals as the control input is proposed. This method effectively avoids the excitation of the structural vibra- tion. In addition, as the driving rate of the superimposed sinusoidal signals covers a wide range, all the coefficients required for modeling the rate-dependence can be identified through only one set of experimental data. Hysteresis modeling and trajectory tracking experiments were performed on a 2-DOF piezo-driven flexure-based mechanism. The experimental results show that the combined hysteresis model maintains the modeling accuracy over the entire work- ing range of the flexure-based mechanism. The mechanism＇s hysteresis is significantly suppressed by the use of the inverse PI model as the feedforward controller; and better result is achieved when a feedback loop is also incorporated. The tracking performance of the flexure-based mechanism is greatly improved.

Robust Stability of Nonlinear Plants with a Non-symmetric Prandtl-Ishlinskii Hysteresis Model

In this paper, robust stability of nonlinear plants represented by non-symmetric Prandtl-Ishlinskii （PI） hysteresis model is studied. In general, PI hysteresis model is the weighted superposition of play or stop hysteresis operators, and the slopes of the operators are considered to be the same. In order to make a hysteresis model, a modified form of non-symmetric play hysteresis operator with unknown slopes is given. The hysteresis model is described by a generalized Lipschitz operator term and a bounded parasitic term. Since the generalized Lipschitz operator is unknown, a new condition using robust right coprime factorization is proposed to guarantee robust stability of the controlled plant with the hysteresis nonlinearity. As a result, based on the proposed robust condition, a stabilized plant is obtained. A numerical example is presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Magnetostrictive and Kinematic Model Considering the Dynamic Hysteresis and Energy Loss for GMA

Due to the influence of magnetic hysteresis and energy loss inherent in giant magnetostrictive materials （GMM）, output displacement accuracy of giant magnetostrictive actuator （GMA） can not meet the precision and ultra precision machining. Using a GMM rod as the core driving element, a GMA which may be used in the field of precision and ultra precision drive engineering is designed through modular design method. Based on the Armstrong theory and elastic Gibbs free energy theory, a nonlinear magnetostriction model which considers magnetic hysteresis and energy loss characteristics is established. Moreover, the mechanical system differential equation model for GMA is established by utilizing D＇Alembert＇s principle. Experimental results show that the model can preferably predict magnetization property, magnetic potential orientation, energy loss for GMM. It is also able to describe magnetostrictive elongation and output displacement of GMA. Research results will provide a theoretical basis for solving the dynamic magnetic hysteresis, energy loss and working precision for GMA fundamentally.

Modeling and Control for Magnetostrictive Hysteresis

To deal with the rate-dependent hysteresis presented in a magnetostrictive actuator, a new method of modeling and control is proposed. The relationship between inputs and outputs of the actuator is approximately described by a dynamic differential equation with two rate-dependent coefficients, each expressed as a polynomial of frequency. For a given frequency, the coefficients will be able to be estimated by approximating the experimental data of the outputs of the magnetostrictive actuator. Based on this model, a quasi-PID controller is designed. In the space of the coefficients and frequency, the stable domain of closed loop system with hysteresis is analyzed. The numerical simulation and experiments have born witness to the feasibility of the proposed new method.

Modeling of LiFePO4 battery open circuit voltage hysteresis based on recursive discrete Preisach model

This paper focuses on the modeling of LiFePO4 battery open circuit voltage （OCV） hysteresis. There exists obvious hysteresis in LiFePO4 battery OCV, which makes it complicated to model the LiFePO4 battery. In this paper, the recursive discrete Preisach model （RDPM） is applied to the modeling of LiFePO4 battery OCV hysteresis. The theory of RDPM is illustrated in detail and the RDPM on LiFePO4 battery OCV hysteresis modeling is verified in experiment. The robust of RDPM under different working conditions are also demonstrated in simulation and experiment. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the accuracy of LiFePO4 battery OCV hysteresis modeling when the battery OCV characteristic changes, which conduces to the online state estimation of LiFePO4 battery.

A new model for the formation of contact angle and contact angle hysteresis

The formation mechanism of the contact angle and the sliding angle for a liquid drop on a solid surface plays an important role in producing hydrophobic surfaces. A new half soakage model is established in this paper as a substitute for Wenzel （complete soakage） and Cassie （no soakage） models. The model is suited to many solid surfaces, whether they are hydrophilic or hydrophobic, or even superhydrophobic. Based on the half soakage model, we analyse two surfaces resembling lotus, i.e. taper-like surface and corona-like surface. Furthermore, this new model is used to establish a quantitative relationship between the sliding angle and the parameters of surface morphology.

Hysteresis behavior and nonequilibrium phase transition in a one-dimensional evolutionary game model

We investigate a simple evolutionary game model in one dimension. It is found that the system exhibits a discontinuous phase transition from a defection state to a cooperation state when the b payoff of a defector exploiting a cooperator is small. Furthermore, if b is large enough, then the system exhibits two continuous phase transitions between two absorbing states and a coexistence state of cooperation and defection, respectively. The tri-critical point is roughly estimated. Moreover, it is found that the critical behavior of the continuous phase transition with an absorbing state is in the directed percolation universality class.

Modeling and identification of magnetostrictive hysteresis with a modified rate-independent Prandtl-Ishlinskii model

This paper presents a modified rate-independent Prandtl-Ishlinskii （MRIPI） model based on the Fermi-Dirac distri- bution for the asymmetric hysteresis description of magnetostrictive actuators. Generally, the classical Prandtl-Ishlinskii （CPI） model can hardly describe the asymmetric hysteresis. To overcome this limitation, various complex operators have been developed to replace the classical operator. In this study, the proposed MRIPI model maintains the classical operator while a modified input function based on the Fermi-Dirac distribution is presented to replace the classical input function. With this method, the MRIPI model can describe the asymmetric hysteresis of magnetostrictive actuators in a relatively simple mathematic format and has fewer parameters to be identified. A velocity-based sine cosine algorithm （VSCA） is also proposed for the parameter identification of the MRIPI model. To verify the validity of the MRIPI model, experiments are performed and the results are compared with those of the existing modeling methods.

Hysteresis of the Magnetic Particle in a Dipolar Ising Model

Zero-temperature Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate the hysteresis of a magnetic particle ina dipolarIsing model. The magnetic particle is described in a system of permanent dipoles, and the dipoles are locatedin a cubic lattice site. The effects of the shape and the size of the particle on the hysteresis loop at zero temperatureare obtained. For strong exchange interactions, the shapes of magnetic hysteresis loops approach rectangle. For weakexchange interactions, the effects of the size and the shape of the particle on the loops are more remarkable than thoseof strong exchange interactions case. The slope of the hysteresis loop decreases with the increase of the ratio of thesemi major axis to the semi minor axis of the ellipsoidal magnetic particle, and there is an increase of the slope of thehysteresis with the decrease of the size of the magnetic particle. The effects of the shape and size of the particle on thecoercive force at zero temperature are also investigated.

Sensorless control for hysteresis compensation of AFM scanner by modified Rayleigh model

A novel modified Rayleigh model was developed for compensating hysteresis problem of an atomic force microscope(AFM) scanner.In high driving fields,piezoelectric actuators that integrated a scanner have severe hysteresis,which can cause serious displacement errors.Piezoelectric hysteresis is from various origins including movement of defects,grain boundary effects,and displacement of interfaces.Furthermore,because its characteristic is stochastic,it is almost impossible to predict the piezoelectric hysteresis analytically.Therefore,it was predicted phenomenologically,which means that the relationship between inputs and outputs is formulated.The typical phenomenological approach is the Rayleigh model.However,the model has the discrepancy with experiment result as the fields increase.To overcome the demerit of the Rayleigh model,a modified Rayleigh model was proposed.In the modified Rayleigh model,each coefficient should be defined differently according to the field direction due to the increase of the asymmetry in the high fields.By applying an inverse form of this modified Rayleigh model to an AFM scanner,it is proved that hysteresis can be compensated to a position error of less than 5%.This model has the merits of reducing complicated fitting procedures and saving computation time compared with the Preisach model.
