Abstract

A major deficiency of piezoceramic actuators is that their open-loop control accuracy is seriously limited by hysteresis. This paper discusses the adaptation of the Preisach model to describe the nonlinear hysteresis behavior of these actuators. The adapted model is used to predict the response of a piezoceramic actuator to a sinusoidal input and a triangular input. The predictions are compared with experimental measurements on a stacked piezoceramic actuator. The model reproduces the hysteresis loop of the actuator to within 3% over the entire working range of 0-15 μm. This opens the possibility of incorporating the model into a control loop in order to overcome the accuracy problem. © 1995.
