Hysteresis is a natural phenomenon that widely exists in structural and mechanical systems.
The characteristics of structural hysteretic behaviors are complicated. Therefore, numerous …

Hysteresis is an inherent characteristic of piezoelectric materials that can be determined by
not only the historical input but also the input signal frequency. Hysteresis severely …

This paper presents the optimal design, fabrication, and control of a novel compliant flexure-
based totally decoupled XY micropositioning stage driven by electromagnetic actuators. The …

In this paper, a proxy-based sliding-mode control (PBSMC) approach is proposed for robust
tracking control of a piezoelectric-actuated nanopositioning stage composed of piezoelectric …

Piezoelectric actuators find extensive application in delivering precision motion in the
micrometer to nanometer range. The advantages of a broader range of motion, rapid …

This study deals with the design of a cell puncture mechanism (CPM) driven by a
