Figure 3 - Assembly of multilayer piezoelectric actuator in parallel a) diagram; b) assembly with adhesive and silicon isolation layer. To minimize such possible problems and in an experimental setup ...

Periodic arrays of shunted piezoelectric patches are employed to control the propagation of elastic waves in phononic beams. Each piezo-patch is connected to a single resistance-inductance-negative ...

Due to the presence of strong hysteresis nonlinearity, achieving robust and precise control of piezoelectric actuators (PEAs) is highly challenging. In this article, a novel rate-amplitude-dependent ...
