This paper is concerned with design, manufacturing and performance test of LIPCA ( Lightweight Piezo- composite Curved Actuator) using a top carbon fiber composite layer with near -zero CTE(coefficient of thermal expansion), a middle PZT ceramic wafer and a bottom glass/epoxy layer with high CTE. The main point of this design is to replace the heavy metal layers of THUNDER by thigh tweight fiber reinforced plastic layers without losing capabilities to generate high force and large displacement. It is possible to save weight up to about 30% if we replace the metallic backing material by the light fiber composite layer. We can also have design flexibility by selecting the fiber direction and the size of prepreg layers. In addition to the lightweight advantage and design flexibility, the proposed device can be manufactured without adhesive layers when we use epoxy resin prepreg system. Glass/epoxy prepregs, a ceramic wafer with electrode surfaces, and a graphite/epoxy prepreg were simply stacked and cured at an elevated temperature (177 $^{circ}C$ after following an autoclave bagging process. It was found that the manufactured composite laminate device had a sufficient curvature after detached from a flat mold. The analysis method of the cure curvature of LIPCA using the classical lamination theory is presented. The predicted curvatures are fairly in agreement with the experimental ones. In order to investigate the merits of LIPCA, a performance test of both LIPCA and THUNDE$^{TM}$ were conducted under the same boundary conditions. From the experimental actuation tests, it was observed that the developed actuator could generate larger actuation displacement than THUNDERT$^{TM}$.

In this study, experimental approaching method was applied under and single-cylinder engine to research the performance of direct needle-driven piezo injector (DPI) for CR direct-injection. As key-point factor of this DPI that relies on direct-acting operating of injector needle, unlike conventional hydraulic-servo, its nozzle needle can be directly driven by piezo actuator. Thus, effect of direct-acting injection of DPI on diesel combustion and emission characteristics was investigated under common-rail single-cylinder direct-injection engine, equipped with three different driving mechanism, including indirect-acting solenoid, piezo and DPI system. As main results, it found that a direct-acting piezo injector has higher of IMEP. And it has higher heat release rate during premixed combustion and mixing controlled combustion phase due to its higher heat release, even though nitrogen oxide (NOx) formations were increased slightly.

본 논문에서는 압전재의 재료 비선형성을 고려한 경량 압전 복합재 작동기(LIPCA)의 성능 해석을 수행하였다. 성능 해석을 위해 9절점 쉘 요소 정식화에 바탕을 둔 압전 쉘 요소를 이용하였다. LIPCA의 작동 변위를 보다 정확히 예측하기 위하여, 실험을 통해 얻은 압전 변형률 함수와 증분 정식화를 추가하여 기존 선형 유한요소 프로그램을 수정하였다. 이렇게 개발된 재료 비선형 압전 옐 프로그램을 이용하여 LIPCA의 작동변위를 재 계산하였고, 재료 비선형 해석으로 얻은 작동 변위가 선형 해석으로 계산된 작동 변위 보다 측정 변위에 훨씬 근접함을 확인하였다.

피에조소자를 구동하여 자동카메라의 초점을 자동으로 제어하는 시스템에서 피에조를 구동하는 집적회로를 설계하였다. 가공된 피에조에 변위를 만들기 위해서는 고전압 DC가 필요하다. 휴대형기기에서 사용하는 3[V]~4.2[V]정도의 낮은 전원전압을 약 80[V]로 승압하여 피에조 구동전압으로 제공하는 한편 입력되는 1[Vp-p]의 제어신호를 -20[V]에서 +80[V]까지 조절되도록 설계하였다. 또한 IC 외부에 적용되는 소자가 최소가 되도록 하여 시스템의 전체 크기를 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. 제어용 프로세서로 IIC(Inter-IC) 인터페이스를 적용하기 위하여 구동회로 내부에 IIC 인터페이스 디지털 로직을 내장하였는데, 이는 제품의 검증, 양산시 양품판정을 쉽게 해주는 장점이 있다. 제작공정은 AMIS 사의 I2T100 2P_3M 공정을 사용하였는데 0.6[um], 100[V]급 BCD공정이며, 6INCH 웨이퍼를 사용하였다. 전원전압 3.6[V], 소비전력은 약 40[mW]정도이다. 칩 사이즈는 1600*1500 [$um^2$]이며, 칩을 소형패키지에 내장하여 조립하였기 때문에 휴대형기기에 적용이 편리하게 되어있다.

Measuring system for piezo inkjet droplet and ink jetting status was developed. In order to measure the jetting performance, two different approaches have been used. One is to use the self-sensing capability of the piezo actuator in the printhead. The other is to use the droplet image from a CCD camera. The software as well as hardware using two approaches was developed. The self-sensing signal as well as meniscus motion was shown to be useful in monitoring jetting conditions. Furthermore, ink properties such as viscosity and speed of sound, which is related to jetting performance, can be understood.

The purpose of this study is to develop a piezo injector driver for common-rail direct injection diesel engines. In this research, we analyzed the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the piezo actuator through experiments. Current flow and charging voltage of the piezo injector are controlled by the PWM signal of variable duty ratio in order to realize both fast response and low peak current. The optimal switching duty ratio was designed by modeling and analyzing of the piezo driver circuit. In order to avoid resonance and unacceptably long settling time, appropriate frequency range of the PWM signal was derived based on the driver circuit model. The developed injector driver was validated by experiments under various fuel rail pressure, injection duration, and charging voltage.

In this paper, a miniaturized stage with two prismatic-prismatic joints (2-PP) type parallel compliant mechanism driven by piezo actuators is proposed. This stage consists of two layers which are a motion guide layer and an actuation layer. The motion guide layer has 2-PP type parallel compliant mechanism to guide two translational motions, whereas the actuation layer has two leverage type amplification mechanisms and two piezo actuators to generate forces. Since the volume of the stage is too small to mount displacement sensors, the piezo actuators embedding strain gauge sensors are chosen. With the strain gauge-embedded piezo actuators, a semi-control is implemented, which results in hysteresis compensation of the stage. As the results, the operating range of $30{\mu}m$, the resolution of 20 nm, and the bandwidth of 400 Hz in each axis were obtained in the experiments.

This paper deals with the problem of placement/sizing of distributed piezo actuators to achieve the control objective of vibration suppression. Using the mean square response as a performance index in optimization, we obtain optimal placement and sizing of the actuator. The use of genetic algorithms as a technique for solving optimization problems of placement and sizing is explored. Genetic algorithms are also used for the control strategy. The analysis of the system and response moment equations are carried out by using the Fokker-Planck equation. This paper presents the design and analysis of an active controller and optimal placement/sizing of distributed piezo actuators based on genetic algorithms for a flexible structure under random disturbance, shows numerical example and the result.

A fuzzy logic controller design technique is proposed to apply for the control of flexible system under irregular disturbance. The fuzzy rules of $\ulcorner$Mode Selecting Fuzzy Controller$\lrcorner$ are constructed using displacement, velocity information and modal characteristics of the system.
