When a user explores over an object, mechanoreceptors in human’s fingertip dominantly detect small-scale shapes and textures on the surface of the object. For generating and conveying virtual tactile sensations to users, we developed a new flexible hybrid tactile display consisting of an electroactive polymer (EAP) module and an electro-vibration module. The EAP module was used to construct an ultra-thin 3×3 pin-array module for mimicking small-scale shapes on the object. Since each cell of the proposed 3×3 EAP module is independently actuated with high vertical stroke, it is enough to create various micro-shapes. The electro-vibration module was attached on the EAP module. The electro-vibration module consists of two plates coated with compliant electrodes. The electro-vibration module creates micro-vibration to imitate virtual texture on the objects. To design the proposed hybrid tactile display, the equations for the mechanical models of the proposed tactile display were derived. The working principle of the modules was verified based on the mechanical model. To control the developed combined tactile display, a high-volt multichannel controller was developed by using a high-volt DC-DC converter and opto-couplers. The proposed hybrid tactile display with its control system generates sufficient performances to create realistic and vivid virtual tactile sensations.

As a typical inertial sensor, vibration micro-gyro is extensively studied. According to its working principle, drive control system is an important element for the gyro system. The role of drive control system is to keep the drive modal stability including stable vibration frequency and amplitude. The PLL method is usually used to realize the drive system. However, it has some shortcomings used to high Q vibration micro-gyro. In this paper, the problems of the PLL method are analyzed, and a PID & AGC control system is introduced. By simulating and measuring, it is indicated that this method is fit for driving high Q vibration micro-gyro.

Compliant Electrodes

One of the key factors to obtain large displacements and high efficiency with dielectric electroactive polymer (DEAPs) actuators is to have compliant electrodes. Attempts to scale DEAPs down to the mm or micrometer range have encountered major difficulties, mostly due to the challenge of micropatterning sufficiently compliant electrodes. Simply evaporating or sputtering thin metallic films on elastomer membranes produces DEAPs whose stiffness is dominated by the metallic film. Low energy metal ion implantation for fabricating compliant electrodes in DEAPs presents several advantages: a) it is clean to work with, b) it does not add thick passive layers, and c) it can be easily patterned. We use this technology to fabricate DEAPs micro-actuators whose relative displacement is the same as for macro-scale DEAPs. With transmission electron microscope (TEM) we observed the formation of metallic clusters within the elastomer (PDMS) matrix, forming a nano-composite. We focus our studies on relating the properties of this nano-composite to the implantation parameters. We identified the optimal implantation parameters for which an implanted electrode presents an exceptional combination of high electrical conductivity and low compliance.

Piezoelectric Nanogenerators

With the development of science and technology, the smaller sizes generator, the more attention by people. The main purpose of this article is to manufacture piezoelectric nanogenerator under micro vibration and its working principle is introduced and its performance is studied. The results show that, using the present nanomaterials, piezoelectric materials can be prepared. When its wind in copper laps, under the situation of micro pulse vibration its can turn into electrical energy, thus yield piezoelectric nanogenerators. In ambient vibration condition, piezoelectric materials produce larger rated current and voltage. However, copper laps cutting magnetic line of force produce less rated current and voltage. So the piezoelectric nanogenerators can be separately used to supply power. If multiple piezoelectric nanogenerator in tandem may produce higher voltage, current and power, which possess commercial value.

Due to the limitation of the size and power, micro unmanned aerial vehicle (MUAV) usually has a small load capacity. Aiming at the problems of limited installation space and easy being interfered in flight attitude measurement of the small-scale unmanned helicopter (SUH), a low-cost and lightweight flight control system of the SUH based on ARM Cortex-M4 core microcontroller and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors is developed in this paper. On this basis, in order to realize the autonomous flight control of SUH, firstly, the mathematical model of the SUH is given by using the Newton-Euler formulation. Secondly, a cascade flight controller consisting of the attitude controller and the position controller is developed based on linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control. Furthermore, simulations are conducted to validate the performance of the attitude controller and the position controller in MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation environment. Finally, based on the Align T-REX 470L SUH experimental platform, the hovering experiment and the route flight experiment are also carried out to validate the performance of the designed flight control system hardware and the proposed control algorithm. The results show that the flight control system designed in this paper has high reliability and strong anti-interference ability, and the control algorithm can effectively and reliably realize the attitude stabilization control and route control of the SUH, with high control accuracy and small error.

Sand production is a complicated physical process depending on rock mechanical properties and flow of fluid in the reservoir. When it comes to sand production phenomenon, many researchers applied the Geomechanical model to predict the pressure for the onset of sand production in the reservoir. However, the mass of produced sand is difficult to determine due to the complexity of rock behavior as well as fluid behavior in porous media. In order to solve this problem, there are some Hydro – Mechanical models that can evaluate sand production rate. As these models require input parameters obtained by core analysis and use a large empirical correlation, they are still not used popularly because of the diversity of reservoirs behavior in the world. In addition, the reliability of these models is still in question because no comparison between these empirical models has been studied. The onset of sand production is estimated using the bottomhole pressure that makes the maximum effective tangential compressive stress equal or higher than the rock strength (failure criteria), which is usually known as critical bottomhole pressure (CBHP). Combining with Hydro – Mechanical model, the main objective of this work aims to develop a numerical model that can solve the complexity of the governing equations relating to sand production. The outcome of this study depicts sand production rate versus time as well as the change of porosity versus space and time. In this paper, the Geomechanical model coupled with Hydro – Mechanical model is applied to calibrate the empirical parameters.
