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

Each modern industrial process environment needs sensors to detect the physical quantities
involved (eg, electric current, mechanical torque, temperature, etc.), a signal-conditioning …

Piezoelectric actuators (PEAs) have been widely used in micro-and nanopositioning
applications due to their fine resolution, fast responses, and large actuating forces. However …

The existing Bouc–Wen models for piezoelectric ceramic actuators (PCAs) possess the
symmetrical characteristic of the hysteretic component and can be categorized as …

Piezoelectric actuators (PAs) are widely used in precision positioning control and active
vibration control. However, positioning accuracy can be compromised by the hysteresis of …

The hysteretic character of the electromechanic coupling in porous piezoeceramics is a
fundamental issue to be investigated in order to design porous materials with enhanced …

In this paper we present a model for hysteretic nonlinearities with non-local memories. This
model can be applied to describe hysteretic material behavior. Common applications are …

The hysteresis of piezoelectric actuators (PAs) possesses the asymmetrical and frequency-
dependent characteristics. In order to accurately model the hysteresis of a PA, an …

Sensors, actuators, and sensor-actuator systems are often based on the mutual interaction
of physical fields, eg, the mechanical field with the electromagnetic field. The accurate …

We present a new model for the simulation of the hysteretic large-signal behavior in
ferroelectric materials. The model is based on the Preisach operator and takes advantage of …
