This article describes the load capability of bending piezoelectric actuators with a thin sandwiched PZT plate in association with the stored elastic energy induced by an increased dome height after a curing process. The stored elastic energy within the actuators is obtained via a flexural mechanical bending test. The load capability is evaluated indirectly in terms of an actuating displacement with a load of mass at simply supported and fixed-free boundary conditions. Additionally, a free displacement under no load of mass is measured for a comparison with an actuating displacement. The results reveal that an actuator with a top layer having a high elastic modulus and a low coefficient of thermal expansion exhibits a better performance than the rest of actuators in terms of free displacement as well as actuating displacement due to the formation of the large stored elastic energy within the actuator system. When actuators are excited at AC voltage, the actuating displacement is rather higher than the free displacement for the same actuating conditions. In addition, the effect of PZT ceramic softening results in a slight reduction in the resonance frequency of each actuator as the applied electric field increases. It is thus suggested that the static and dynamic actuating characteristics of bending piezoelectric composite actuators with a thin sandwiched PZT plate should be simultaneously considered in controlling the performance.

In this study, multilayer piezoelectric actuators were fabricated with 75 layers by a conventional multi-layer capacitor (MLC) techniques, using 70Ag/30Pd paste as an internal electrode which can be sintered at low temperature and have cost down effect in mass productions. The multilayer piezoelectric actua-tors had no defects such as diffusions of internal electrode to ceramic bodies and shortages of internal electrodes. The multilayer piezoelectric actuators did not show the crack in the ceramics parts and the gapping phenomena in the external eletrodes when Ag paste was used as external electrodes. The multilayer piezoelectric actuators showed a maximum displacement of 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ at 100V dc voltage and kept the maximum displacement constant for 300 seconds. The multilayer piezoelectric actuators showed good matching properties between ceramic bodies and AgPd internal electrodes. We confirmed the possibility of large-scaled production of the multilayer piezoelectric actuators with superior electrical properties and cost down effect using 70Ag/30Pd paste as an internal electrodes.

항공기의 자세제어를 담당하는 각각의 비행 조종면에 중복안정성 등의 이유로 여러 개의 작동기를 연결하여 사용하고 있다. 다중 작동기들이 동시에 정확하게 같은 위치로 이동하지 않으면 비행조종면에 변형이 발생한다. 그 결과 변형된 조종면이 원래 상태로 복원하려는 힘에 의해 작동기들 간에 force fighting이 발생한다. 게다가 force fighting은 각 장치들의 초기 허용 오차 등에 의해서도 발생한다. 다중 작동기간의 force fighting 현상은 제어정밀도에 영향을 미치고 피로파괴의 원인이 되어 작동기와 비행조종면의 수명을 단축할 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 두 개의 서보작동기를 사용하는 시스템의 force fighting을 감소하기 위하여 힘되먹임제어를 사용하는 제어기를 설계하였다.

자기 센서와 액추에이터는 산업과 의료 분야에서 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 센서와 액추에이터의 기반의 통합시스템은 기계 및 전자 기기들의 일반적인 조합으로써 메카트로닉스로 정의된다. 최근에 자기 무선 센서와 액추에이터가 개발되어지고, 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 특히 이 메커니즘은 자성 물질 및 물리적 현상에 관한 것으로 자기의 세기의 따라 달라진다. 그러나 이들 연구의 경계는 명확하지 않다. 따라서, 자기 마이크로 로봇, 자기액추에이터 및 센서들을 포함한 새롭고 정확한 정의가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 의공학 및 재활을 위한 자기 메카트로닉스의 진보되고 확장된 개념을 혈관 재활을 위한 무선 펌프 시스템과 모션 감지 시스템을 중심으로 소개하고자 한다.

Conducting polymers show several unique features, wherein electrical and optical properties change drastically during electrochemical reaction. By making use of these phenomena, several electronic devices have been fabricated, for instance, electrochromic displays, rechargeable batteries and electroplasticity memory devices. Electromechanical actuators using conducting polymers have been proposed by Baughman et. al [1]. (omitted)

The objective of this paper is to develop a motion base for the vehicle driving simulator. Kinematic analysis are carried out to obtain maximum strokes and velocities of hydraulic actuators. Hydraulic control forces of the actuators are estimated by inverse dynamic analysis. Finally, an optimal design is performed to find attachment points of the actuators so that control forces are minimized. A control logic for the motion base is developed to make the motion base follow the given reference signals. The control logic is implemented on a digital signal processor(DSP) board.

In this paper, we propose an optimum design method for optical pick-up actuators. Using this method, we can design an optimal pick-up actuator having the required tracking/focusing performances. Also, the designed actuator has the small mass, force constant for small size of magnetic circuit and large resistance for reduction of heat generation. Simulation results show that this method can be potentially implemented in all the pick-up actuators.

The ion-exchange membrane, Nafion, remains as the benchmark for a majority of research and development in IPMC technology. In this research, we employed a novel ionomer named by sulfonated poly(styrene-ran-ethylene) (SPSE) that is crosslinked by UV irradiation. The sulfonic acid groups were stable during the UV irradiation crosslinking process. Water uptake, ion exchange capacity, and proton conductivity are characterized for both pure SPSE and crosslinked SPSE membrane. The bending responses of SPSE actuators under both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) excitations were investigated. The voltage-current behaviors of the actuators under AC excitations are also measured. Results showed the crosslinked SPSE actuators have better electromechanical performance than that of pure SPSE actuator with regard to tip displacement as a novel smart material.

This is a review paper on mathematical modeling of actively controlled piezo smart structures. Paper has four sections to discuss the techniques to: (i) write the equations of motion (ii) implement sensor-actuator design (iii) model real life environmental effects and, (iv) control structural vibrations. In section (i), methods of writing equations of motion using equilibrium relations, Hamilton's principle, finite element technique and modal testing are discussed. In section (ii), self-sensing actuators, extension-bending actuators, shear actuators and modal sensors/actuators are discussed. In section (iii), modeling of thermal, hygro and other non-linear effects is discussed. Finally in section (iv), various vibration control techniques and useful software are mentioned. This review has two objectives: (i) practicing engineers can pick the most suitable philosophy for their end application and, (ii) researchers can come to know how the field has evolved, how it can be extended to real life structures and what the potential gaps in the literature are.

In this paper, the magnetic coupling between an induction cooker and a metallic pot is studied for various winding topologies. Effects of the winding orientation on the power transfer capability and on the emitted magnetic field under the cooker are discussed and compared. A novel topology inspired by permanent magnet Halbach array is proposed. This consists in coupling in both horizontal and vertical directions and to create an asymmetric field in order to reduce the emission under the cooker.
