This paper presents a small loading and positioning device using VCM (voice coil motor). The developed device consists of a VCM-based linear actuating system, a capacitance displacement sensor and a cantilever deflection sensing system. The trust force of the VCM proportional to applied current moves the column supported on two pairs of parallel leaf springs. The infinitesimal displacement of moved column is detected by capacitance displacement sensor with a resolution of 0.1nm and a repeatability of 1nm. Also, a micro cantilever with known stiffness (200N/m), which is mounted on the end of the column, is used as a force sensor to detect the load applied to a specimen. After the cantilever contacts with the specimen, the deflection of cantilever and the load applied to the specimen are measured by using an optical lever system which consists of a diode laser, a mirror and a PSD (position sensitive detector). In this paper, an experimental system was constructed and its actuator and sensing parts were tested and calibrated. Also, the constructed system was applied to the indentation experiment and the load-displacement curve of aluminum was obtained. Experimental results showed that the developed device can be applied for performing nano indentation.

본 논문에서는 외팔보 시스템의 능동 진동 제어를 위하여 퍼지 기법으로 동조한 PID 제어기 설계기법을 제시하였다. 직접 제작된 전자석은 작동기로 사용되었으며, 레이져 감지기가 보의 굽힘 변위를 측정하는데 사용되었다. 작동기와 감지기의 물리적 제한 때문에 실험 시스템이 비동위치(Noncollocated) 형태가 되었으며 비접촉식 제어 시스템을 이룬다 시스템의 모델링은 자유진동 방정식에 의한 모달 해석 방법으로 구하였으며 작동기로부터 감지기까지의 전달함수는 전자석 자동기차 보의 역학 방정식을 조합하여 구하였다. 일반적으로 PID 제어기는 산업 현장에서 널리 사용되고 있으나, 비선형성이 강한 시스템이나 시변 특성을 갖는 시스템에서 적절한 PID 이득값을 결정하는 것은 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 자동적으로 PID 이득 값을 조절하는 퍼지 기법으로 동조한 PID 제어기를 설계하여 비선형성이 강한 전자석을 작동기로 사용하는 외팔보 시스템의 진동 제어에 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험적 결과를 통하여 설계된 제어기의 진동 감쇠 효과와 성능을 검증하였으며, PID 제어기의 경우와 비교하여 더 나은 진동 제어 성능을 가짐을 실험적 결과로부터 증명하였다.

Two active/passive vibration dampers were designed to control a cantilever beam first mode of vibration. The active element was a piezoelectric polymer, polyvinlidene fluoride (PVDF). The passive damping was provided by the application of a viscoelastic layer on the surface of the steel beam. Two substantially different damper configurations were designed and tested. One damper consisted of a piezoelectric actuator bonded to one face of the beam, with a viscoelastic layer applied to the other surface of the beam. The second one was composed of a layer viscoeastic layer with one surface bonded to the beam, and with other being constrained by nine piezoelectric actuators connected in parallel. A control law based on the sign of the angular velocity of the cantilever beam was implemented to control the beam first mode of vibration. The piezoelectric sensor output was digitally differentiated to obtain the transverse linear velocity, and its sign was used in the control algorith. Two dampers provided the system a damping increase of a factor of four for the first damper and three for the second damper. Both dampers were found to work well at low levels of vibration, suggesting that they can be used effectively to prevent resonant vibrations in flexible structure from initiating and building up.

The beam rotating actuator has been developed. It can be utilized to improve the data transfer rate for the optical disk systems, Newly developed laser beam rotating actuator is applied to put multi-beam spots on more than one track on the optical disk simultaneously. The beam rotating actuator is made of piezoelectric ceramic bimorph as the form of cantilever, Piezoelectric actuators with high resolution, high stiffness and fast frequency response are widely assembled in micropositioning applications. Therefore, the actuator has above 50Hz natural frequency. Beam array is rotated using the dove prism in the end of beamrotator. The dynamic equation of beam rotating actuator is derived theoretically. The actuator is designed on the ground of this analysis. The performance of the beam rotating actuator is verified as the dynamics frequency performance is measured using the dynamic analyzer and sensor.

This paper proposes a swing-arm type dual-stage actuator, which consists of a PZT actuator for fine motion and a VCM(Voice Coil Motor) for coarse motion, for SFF ODD(Small Form Factor Optical Disk Drive), in order to achieve fast access speed and precise track following control. We focus our attention on the design and control of the PZT actuator, because there have been a lot of previous researches related to the VCM and dual-stage actuators. Due to the dual cantilever structure, the PZT actuator can generate precise translational tracking motion at its tip where optical pickup is attached at, and the effect of hysteric behavior of the PZT element is reduced. The dynamic model of the PZT actuator is derived by using the Hamilton's principle, and verified by comparing with the experimental frequency response. The sliding mode control is designed in order to be robust against modeling uncertainties. Simulations and experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the suggested control scheme.

PZT와 같은 압전 재료는 능동 진동 억제 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있지만 단일 PZT의 경우 장착 과정에서의 손상, 전기 누전, 낮은 피로 성능과 같은 문제가 지적되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 개발된 LIPCA 작동기는 여러 층의 복합재료와 PZT 층으로 구성되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 LIPCA 작동기를 끝단 질량이 부착된 알루미늄 외팔보의 진동을 억제하는데 적용하였다. 양변위 되먹임 제어 알고리듬을 사용하였으며, 필터 주파수를 대상 모드의 첫 번째 고유진동수에 맞추었다. 실험적으로 구한 알루미늄 보의 고유 진동수는 유한요소 해석의 결과와 잘 일치하였다. LIPCA 작동기를 능동 진동제어에 적용할 때 효율성을 시간과 주파수 영역에서 확인하고자 하였는데, 실험 결과 PPF제어를 사용한 LIPCA 작동기가 자유 진동의 안정화 시간과 강제 진동의 진폭을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있었다. 사례 연구로 다른 두께를 가지는 보의 강제 진동 제어를 수행하였다.

This paper presents an energy harvester using piezoelectric elements that is a kind of generator which converts the mechanical power to the electric one using windmill system with many PZT actuators. In this study, low frequency characteristics of the cantilever-type piezoelectric actuator are experimentally investigated. Advantages of the cantilever use are to take a very large displacement and to improve the endurance of the PZT element. The material of cantilever is an aluminum and three kinds of cantilever of which size is $150[mm]{\times}20[mm]{\times}1.5[mm]$, $170[mm]{\times}20[mm]{\times}1.5[mm]$ and $190[mm]{\times}20[mm]{\times}1.5[mm]$ were experimented, respectively. The cantilever was fixed on the vibrator. The characteristics of frequency and mass variation of cantilever end part such as 0[g], 5[g], 10[g] are investigated. Maximum voltage was outputted at the condition of $150[mm]{\times}20[mm]{\times}1.5[mm]$ and 10[g] of mass. It was confirmed that the lower natural frequency at the larger length of cantilever and at the bigger of mass is gotten.

This paper presents a proof-of-concept of a wheel-based magnetostrictive energy harvester (EH), which is a vibration-based EH. Coil-wound Galfenol cantilevers with two permanent magnets (PMs) act EH, while rotating wheels provide a forced vibration to EH. Four different cantilevers are designed and simulated for various end deflection. As expected from the simulation, the cantilever end deflection with triple cavity is the most. Three experiments are conducted to characterize the EH: the first with a magnetostrictive actuator, the second with a motor-driven wheel, and the third with the dummy weights. From the first experiment, the power reaches about 50 mV due to the relatively small displacement of the magnetostrictive actuator. From the second experiment, the power reaches about 120 mW. The power from the Galfenol cantilever is estimated to be about 60% of the total power from the wheel-based magnetostrictive EH.

Carbon nanotube actuator, working under physical conditions (in aqueous solution) and converting electrical energy into mechanical energy directly, can be a good substitute for artificial muscle. The carbon nanotube actuator simulated in this paper is an isotropic cantilever type with an adhesive tape which is sandwiched between two single-walled carbon nanotubes. For predicting the static and dynamic characteristic parameters, the analytical model for a 3 layer bimorph carbon nanotube actuator is developed by using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The governing equation and boundary conditions are derived from energy principles. The induced displacements of the theoretical model are presented in order to investigate the performance of the carbon nanotube actuator with different control voltages. The developed model presents invaluable means for designing and predicting the performance of carbon nanotube actuator that can be used in artificial muscle applications.
