Abstract Microgripper, as the end-effector of a micromanipulation robot, has been widely used in semiconductors, biomedicine, optical engineering, etc. The stack piezoelectric ceramic actuated microgripper has the advantages of fast response speed, high motion resolution, and good control performance. Traditional symmetrical microgripper has defects such as lack of positioning reference and dense modal of resonance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an asymmetrical clamp with a large clamping stroke and good dynamic characteristics. This paper introduces the design, modeling, optimization, and simulation of a new asymmetric microgripper. The designed asymmetric gripper has the advantages of large-displacement magnification and high natural frequency. The gripper’s movable side is comprised of three-level compliant amplification mechanisms including bridge mechanism, Scott-Russell mechanism, and parallelogram mechanism. The linear relationship between the input displacement and the output displacement is obtained through motion modeling. The multi-objective genetic algorithm optimizes the major parameters of the structure which affect the clamping stroke. Finite element analysis is conducted to verify the clamping stroke, clamping force, and resonance frequency of the gripper. The simulation results show that the proposed microgripper has good working performance with a clamping stroke of 156.75 μm and a natural frequency of 952.91 Hz, which is promising for practical application.

Amplification Mechanism

The paper proposes a type of symmetrical flexure hinge displacement amplification mechanism, which is based on the differential lever to effectively improve the displacement output stroke of the PZT and reduce the additional displacement. In addition to describes the working principle of the differential displacement amplification, it establishes the semi-model of the micro-displacement amplification mechanism according to the symmetrical structure. The stiffness, displacement loss, and natural frequency of the amplification mechanism are simulated by finite element analysis (FEA). Simultaneously, build the mathematical model of amplification ratio to obtain the optimal driving frequency when the natural frequency is 930.58 Hz. The maximum output displacement of the designed mechanism is 313.05 µm and the amplification ratio is 6.50. Due to the symmetrical structure, the output additional displacement of the whole amplification mechanism is small.It provides a scientific basis for further improving the positioning accuracy of the micro/nano drive control system.

The Relationship

This paper proposes a computation method using the equivalent magnetic circuit to analyze the driving force for the non-contact permanent magnet linear drive system. In this device, the magnetic driving force is related to the rotation angle of driving wheels. The relationship is verified by finite element analysis and measuring experiments. The result of finite element simulation is in good agreement with the model established by the equivalent magnetic circuit. Then experiments of displacement control are carried out to test the dynamic characteristic of this system. The controller of the system adopts the combination control of displacement and angle. The results indicate that the system has good performance in steady-state error and response speed, while the maximum overshoot needs to be reduced.

Response And Recovery

Breath monitoring is significant in assessing human body conditions, such as cardiac and pulmonary symptoms. Optical fiber-based sensors have attracted much attention since they are immune to electromagnetic radiation, thus are safe for patients. Here, a microfiber (MF) humidity sensor is fabricated by coating tin disulfide (SnS2) nanosheets onto the surface of MF. The small diameter (~8 μm) and the long length (~5 mm) of the MF promise strong interaction between guiding light and SnS2. Thus, a small variation in the relative humidity (RH) will lead to a large change in optical transmitted power. A high RH sensitivity of 0.57 dB/%RH is therefore achieved. The response and recovery times are estimated to be 0.08 and 0.28 s, respectively. The high sensitivity and fast response speed enable our SnS2-MF sensor to monitor human breath in real time.

AbstractIn this manuscript, the inorganic perovskite CsPbI2Br and CsPbIBr2 are investigated as photoactive materials that offer higher stability than the organometal trihalide perovskite materials. The fabrication methods allow anti-solvent processing the CsPbIxBr3−x films, overcoming the poor film quality that always occur in a single-step solution process. The introduced diethyl ether in spin-coating process is demonstrated to be successful, and the effects of the anti-solvent on film quality are studied. The devices fabricated using the methods achieve high-performance, self-powered and the stabilized photodetectors show fast response speed. The results illustrate a great potential of all-inorganic CsPbIxBr3−x perovskites in visible photodetection and provide an effective way to achieve high performance devices with self-powered capability.

First a new autopilot design model is presented for the interceptor missile with the blended aerodynamic lift and reaction jet. The reaction jet can improve the response speed, but the structure of control system becomes more complex. Therefore how to design control strategy properly is an urgent problem. Second, considering the discrete property of the lateral pulse jet thrusters and the continuous property of the aerodynamic fins, a kind of ADRC (active disturbance rejection control) autopilot system was designed for the aerodynamic lift/reaction jet missile. Finally, through a testing in the simulation of MATLAB, it is shown that, due to the sufficient utilization of the reaction jet, there is a significant improvement in the fast response and robust performance of the proposed controller. It is applicable to design the autopilot of aerodynamic lift and reaction jet blended missile.

TbDyFe is a rare earth-iron magnetostrictive alloy with “giant” magnetostrain, good magnetomechanical coupling factor and fast response. Giant magnetostrictive actuators (GMAs) are designed and fabricated with home-made TbDyFe rods. Their magnetostrain properties under varied operation are tested. The static output displacement up to 100μm and output force up to 1500N were obtained. The dynamic displacement increases with amplitude under fixed frequency and decreases with frequency under fixed amplitude generally. The maximum dynamic output displacement of 146µm was obtained at natural frequency around 5Hz. Active vibration control employing GMA was implemented in the flexible structure. The excellent damping effect, 20-30 dB under the frequency range from 10Hz to 100Hz was obtained. The dynamic phase delay of GMA has been analyzed. A novel improved FSLMS algorithm is proposed to achieve a better control performance.
