Nonlinear vibration characteristics of a piezoelectric-type micro actuator used for hard disk drives are experimentally studied. The nonlinear characterisitics include hysteresis, superharmonic resonance, jump phenomenon, and shifting of natural frequencies. The vibration modes and frequencies of the commercial actuator of the Hutchinson's Magnum series are measured using a laser vibrometer. From harmonic excitation to the PZT acturator, we observe interesting hysteresis patterns with 3 times input frequency. It is shown that the micro actuator has the typical 3 times superhamonic resonances coupled to the first torsional and sway modes of the suspension.

This paper presents an implementation of motion control system of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) using digital hysteresis controller by TMS320F240 DSP. SRM position control system possess several advantages over other motors, including high efficiency, simple structure, low cost, and four-quadrant operation at a wide speed range, especially for the servo drive systems with precision, stability and fast response characteristics in the industrial applications. In the suggested motion control system, position control using digital hysteresis controller is developed, and is evaluated using experimental testing. The developed system for cost reduction and high-performance by fully digital controller is shown a good response characteristic of motion control results.

The dynamic model and displacement control of piezoelectric actuators, which are commercially available materials for managing extremely small displacements in the range of sub-nanometers, are presented. Piezoceramics have electromechanical characteristics that transduce energy between the electrical and mechanical domains. However, they have hysteresis between the input voltage and output displacement, and this behavior is very demanding and complicated. In this paper, we propose a method of designing the control algorithm, and present the dynamic modeling equations that represent the hysteretic behavior between input voltage and output displacement. For this process, the piezoelectric actuator is treated as a second-order linear dynamic system and system constants are determined by the system identification method. Also, a classical PID controller is designed and used to regulate the output displacement of the actuator. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, numerical simulation results are presented.

For Preisach model, Everett function from the transient curves is needed to simulate the hysteresis phenomena. However it becomes very difficult to get the function if the it would be made only from experiments. In this paper, a simple and stable procedure using least square method and logarithm function to determine the Everett function which follows the Gauss distribution for interaction field axis is proposed. The characteristics of the parameters used in this procedure are also presented. The proposed method is applied to implement hysteresis loops. The simulation for hysteresis loop is compared with experiments and good agreements could be shown.

A piezo-actuator is an important component for an E-beam lithography system. But it is very difficult to model its characteristics due to nonlinearities such as hysteresis and creep, to the input voltage. In this paper, one-axis micro stage with a piezo-actuator is modeled including the nonlinear properties. Hysteresis and creep are modeled as the first order differential equation and a time-dependent logarithmic function, respectively. The dynamic motion of the stage is also modeled as a mass-spring-damper system and the parameters are determined by utilizing the system identification technique. The simulation tool for a micro stage is constructed using the commercial software and its simulation results are compared with the experimental data.

We describe how to control a piezoelectric actuator using the open-loop method for point-to-point positioning. Since piezoelectric actuators have nonlinear characteristics due to hysteresis and creep between the input voltage and the resulting displacement, a special method is required to eliminate this nonlinearity for an open-loop drive. We have introduced open-loop driving methods for piezoelectric actuators in the past, which required a large input voltage and an initializing motion sequence to reset the state of the actuator before each movement. In this paper, we propose a new driving method that uses the initializing state. This method also utilizes the overshoot from both the upward and downward stepwise drives. Applying this method., we obtained precise point-to-point positioning without the influence of hysteresis and creep.

To simulate the characteristics of magnetic exchange coupling at the interface of MR/TbCo thin films, the directions of magnetizations were calculated by minimizing energy in the films. Newton method and Gauss-Seidel method were used. The width of M-H curve increased with TbCo anisotropy constant, and with the thickness of the transition region of TbCo layer. Hysteresis loop width became extremely narrow (less than 10 Oe of coercivity), when the TbCo transition region length was $400\;\AA$. Also the hysteresis loop of films with low interfacial exchange coupling constant was similiar to that of short transition region length. When interfacial exchange coupling constant was 1/100 of perfect coupling, hysteresis loop showed a coercivity of less than 10 Oe. Comparing the measured hysteresis loop of a fabricated sample with that of simulated one, exchange coupling con¬stant could be estimated.

Overlay model had several advantages to describe hysteretic behavior of material and showed good capability for many engineering materials. However, this model is only applicable to material obeying Masing postulate. Some materials such as 316L stainless steel do not follow Masing postulate and show cyclic hardening(or softening) and strain range dependence. Low cycle fatigue tests of 316L stainless steel at 600$^{\circ}C$ were performed to investigate the characteristics of cyclic behavior of non-Masing material. From all tests cyclic softening was observed. There were differences in elastic limit of hysteresis loop according to applied strain range. To consider these features, modified overlay model was developed. Yield stresses of subelements were divided into isotropic and anisotropic part to describe the non-Masing behavior. The plastic strain range memorization was introduced to consider the strain range dependence. The prediction using modified overlay model showed a good accordance to actual hysteresis loops.

This paper presents the hysteresis friction of a sliding elastomer on various types of surfaces. The hysteresis friction is calculated by means of an analytical model which considers the energy spent by the local deformation of the rubber due to surface asperities. By establishing the fractal character of the surfaces, the contribution to rubber friction of roughness at different length scales is accounted for. High resolution surface profilometer is used in order to calculate the main three surface descriptors and the minimal length scale that can contribute to hysteresis friction. The results show that this friction prediction can be used in order to characterize in an elegant manner the surface morphology of various surfaces and to quantify the friction coefficient of sliding rubber as a function of surface roughness, load and speed.

[ $PZT(Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3)$ ] thin films were deposited by multi-target reactive sputtering method on $RuO_2$ substrates. Pure perovskite phase PZT films could be obtained by introducing Ti-oxide seed layer on the $RuO_2$ substrates prior to PZT film deposition. The PZT films deposited on the $RuO_2$ substrates showed highly voltage-shifted hysteresis loop compared with the films deposited on the Pt substrates. The surface of $RuO_2$ substrate was found to be reduced to metallic Ru in vacuum at elevated temperature, which caused the formation of oxygen vacancies at the initial stage of PZT film deposition and gave rise to the voltage shift in the P-E hysteresis loop of the PZT capacitor. The fatigue characteristics of the PZT capacitors under unipolar wane electric field were different from those under bipolar wane. The fatigue test under unipolar wane showed the increase of polarization. It was thought that the ferroelectric domains which had been pinned by charged defects such as oxygen vacancies and the charged defects were reduced in number by combining with the electrons injected from the electrode under unipolar wave, resulting in the relaxation of the ferroelectric domains and the increase of polarization.
