In this paper, a novel piezoelectric actuator structure - 4-9-9-14 piezoelectric actuator is constructed, and it is made of piezoelectric buzzer to drive a piezoelectric actuated stage. The 4-9-9-14 piezoelectric actuator offers a better balanced capability of forward rotation and reverse rotation than the conventional edge-driving piezoelectric actuator. According to the rotational speed experiment, the CW/CCW ratio of the 4-9-9-14 piezoelectric actuator is probably 1:0.8. The movement of the pie-zoelectric actuated stage is read and analyzed by means of data acquisition card and LabVIEW software operating in conjunction with a linear encoder. In a natural environment, plenty of noise interferes with linear encoder signals and results in erroneous addition performed by a counter. Therefore, the LabVIEW program set forth the means of filtering and the method for retrieving a correct position signal.

In this paper, a novel thin-disc piezoelectric actuator, 4-9-9-14 piezoelectric actuator, is used to construct and drive the micro/nanometer level biaxial piezoelectric actuated stage. The 4-9-9-14 piezoelectric actuator offers a better balanced capability of forward rotation and reverse rotation than the conventional edge-driving piezoelectric actuator. The biaxial piezoelectric actuated stage structure comprises a base, a V-shaped guide rail, an optical scale measurement system, a preload adjusting structure, and a load-carrying stage. The movement signals of the piezoelectric actuated stage are read and analyzed by means of NI PCI-6115 data acquisition card and LabVIEW software operating in conjunction with a linear optical scale. The new consideration of tuning Ton time is used in place of the traditional method of changing the magnitude of driving voltage to control the stepping distance of the stage. A combined driving signal is based on the sum of a continuous driving signal for Ton time and a DC signal for Ton time; the combined driving signal is continuously output in this manner to form a continuous driving pulse chain. Under a constant driving voltage, the displacement of the stage increases with Ton time and the displacement of the stage decreases with Ton time.

This article presents the development of a visual-servo filming robot for dolly & truck style camera movement in filming applications. The robot was implemented with a fast-response slider as the upper stage on top of the slow-response tracked robot body as the lower stage, to improve target tracking performance. A new switching controller was developed, which controlled the stages’ motions by balancing and adjusting the weights of vision error and slider’s noncentering error of the upper stage, thus achieving tracking performance better than the traditional master–slave control strategy. The simulations were carried out to evaluate the tracking performance of the model, particularly focusing on evaluating how the dual stage improves the overall response of the model. The similar evaluation was executed experimentally as well. Both results confirm that the fast-response characteristics of the upper stage can compensate the slow dynamics of lower stage, the tracked robot which is inevitably heavy due to its composition.

The conventional energy meters are not suitable for long operating purposes as they spend much human and material resources. Smart meters, on the other hand, are devices that perform advanced functions including electrical energy consumption recording of residential/industrial users, billing, real-time monitoring, and load balancing. In this chapter, a smart home prototype is designed and implemented. Appliances are powered by the grid during daytime, and a photovoltaic panel stored power during the night or in case of an electricity outage. Second, consumed power from both sources is sensed and further processed for cumulative energy, cost calculations and bill establishment for different proposed scenarios using LABVIEW software. Data are communicated using a USB data acquisition card (DAQ-USB 6008). Finally, a simulation framework using LABVIEW software models four houses each equipped with various appliances. The simulator predicts different power consumption profiles to seek of peak-demand reduction through a load control process.

A novel stick-slip rotary piezoelectric actuator is designed for optical use. The actuator is proposed, fabricated, and tested with the aim of realizing both fine resolution and a long stroke. The dynamic model of the actuator is established, and simulations are performed to discover how the input driving voltage affects the stick-slip motion of the actuator. An experimental system is built to evaluate the performance of the actuator at different frequencies, voltages, and numbers of driving piezoelectric stacks. Experimental results show that the minimal output stepping angle is 3.5 μrad (0.2 millidegrees) under a sawtooth waveform having a voltage of 13 V and frequency of 3000 Hz and that the velocity reaches 0.44 rad/s (25°/s) under a sawtooth waveform having a voltage of 93 V and frequency of 3000 Hz, while the stroke is infinite. The proposed actuator provides stable and accurate rotary motion and realizes a high velocity.

Converse Piezoelectric Effect

Purpose In this contribution, the design and integration of a piezoelectric vibrating device into low-temperature, co-fired ceramic (LTCC) structures are presented and discussed. The mechanical vibration of the diaphragm was stimulated with a piezoelectric actuator, which was integrated onto the diaphragm. Three different methods for the integration were designed, fabricated and evaluated. Design/methodology/approach The vibrating devices were designed as an edge-clamped diaphragm with an integrated piezoelectric actuator at its centre, whose role is to stimulate the vibration of the diaphragm via the converse piezoelectric effect. The design and feasibility study of the vibrating devices was supported by analytical methods and finite-element analyses. Findings The benchmarking of the ceramic vibrating devices showed that the thick-film piezoelectric actuator responds weakly in comparison with both the bulk actuators. On the other hand, the thick-film actuator has the lowest dissipation factor and it generates the largest displacement of the diaphragm with the lowest driving voltage. The resonance frequency of the vibrating device with the thick-film actuator is the most sensitive for an applied load (i.e. mass or pressure). Research limitations/implications Research activity includes the design and the fabrication of a piezoelectric vibrating device in the LTCC structure. The research work on the piezoelectric properties of integrated piezoelectric actuators was limited. Practical implications Piezoelectric vibrating devices were used as pressure sensors. Originality/value Piezoelectric vibrating devices could be used not only for pressure sensors but also for other type of sensors and detectors and for microbalances.

Two Degree Of Freedom

A novel impact two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) motor based on the decomposed screw-type motion of a piezoelectric actuator (PA) has been proposed. The fabricated prototype motor has a maximum diameter of 15 mm and a length of 100 mm which can produce a maximum torsional angle of about 1000 μrad and a maximum longitudinal displacement of about 1.03 μm under a saw-shaped driving voltage with 720 Vp-p (peak-to-peak driving voltage). When the axial prepressure generated by the spring is about 1N and the radial prepressure generated by the snap ring is about 14 N, the fabricated motor realizes rotary motion with the driving frequency from 200 Hz to 4 kHz. When the axial prepressure generated by the spring is about 11.7 N and the radial prepressure generated by the snap ring is about 21.1 N, the fabricated motor realizes linear motion with the driving frequency from 2 kHz to 11 kHz. In the experiments, the prototype motor can achieve 9.9 × 105 μrad/s rotary velocity at 2 kHz and it can achieve 2.4 mm/s linear velocity at 11 kHz under the driving voltage of 720 Vp-p.
