Analysis the Displacement Amplification of Compliant Parallel Four-Bar Using Piezo Actuator
This paper researched the displacement amplification and hysteresis of parallel four-bar amplification mechanism using piezo actuator. Firstly, the displacement amplification was analyzed by employing the material bending theory. Theory and finite element model (FEM) proved that the amplification ratio of parallel four-bar mechanism is only related to the position of driving point and the guiding beam displacement is linear with the driving point input when it is fixed. Then the Preisach model was employed to model the hysteresis of guiding beam and performed to control the output displacement of the mechanism. Experiments proved that the model can effectively improve the output displacement accurate of the guiding beam and can realize random sequence output displacement using the Preisach interpolation surface.
