In a micro-unit of electronic-machine, vibration can be excited by a small impact, and this vibration acts as a fatigue load. To measure the vibration effect on the micro unit, a micro dynamic tester is needed to test a micro specimen. In this paper, it has confirmed a movement of the PZT(piezo actuator) to use a sine signal. And, it has confirmed a fracture of specimens by using a tension-tension input signal in PZT. A metal-material property in the micro scale has been tested to compare with the macro scale. A fatigue test has been conducted by using PZT actuator to give a bending-tension effect.

Research on the forced vibration control of a flexible GFR composite beam using $\mu$-synthesis is performed on this paper. Modal analysis method and modal coordinates are introduced to obtain the state equations of the structural system. Using these equations, Robust control algorithm using $\mu$-synthesis is adopted to suppress the forced vibration of a flexible beam since the designed controller can considered plant uncertainty and external disturbance. Constant disturbance which is generated by shaking the flexible beam as I's natural frequency is effectively rejected by a PZT actuator. Simulations and experiments are carried out with the designed controller and effectiveness of forced vibration suppression strategy is verified by results.

Because, Piezo-electric transducer(PZT) transform electric energy into mechanical energy, it is a adequate material for positioning control and force control, take excellent properties as actuator with high speed and high performance. Recently, researches of ultra precision positioning using this PZT are advanced in. In this paper, we use a actuator of PZT, design a positioning apparatus with ultra precision position apparatus as hinge structure. Because of this purpose, before, we were confirmed in control properties of ultra precision stage by FEM method.

The existing technical limitation makes engineer imitate nature to solve engineering problems. Recently Micro Air Vehicle(MAV) imitating the mechanism of birds or insects is being developed. Especially Ultra Flite supported by DARPA is studying hummingbird aerodynamics to relate that information to MAV. To drive MAV bender piezoelectric(PZT) actuators are used due to the convinience of control and the small size. But the displacement of the PZT actuators are very small, and the wing driving mechanism which amplifies the stroke generated by the PZT actuators has constraints in design and manufacture because of the small dimension. In this paper a wing design concept and a efficient driving mechanism are proposed. Electroactive polymers(EAPs) are used as wing mechanism actuators. Using OpenGL the mechanisms are simulated graphically. Also a prototype actuator is being developed and verified by digital Mockup with CATIA. Basic kinematics of the mechanism is studied.

In this study, in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics using ${Fe_2}{O_3}$ and $WO_3$ as sintering aids were manufactured with the amount of $WO_3$ addition, and the specimens were sintered at 900, 930, $960^{\circ}C$, respectively. Thereafter, their dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The sintering aids were proved to lower the sintering temperature of piezoelectric ceramics due to the effects of ${Fe_2}{O_3}$ and $WO_3$ liquid phase. At 0.3wt% $WO_3$ added specimen sintered at $930^{\circ}C$, kp, Qm, dielectric constant and $d_{33}$ showed the optimum values of 0.60, 1402, 1440 and 360[pC/N], respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

For machining systems like the motor driven linear stage which have high precision positioning with a long stroke, it is necessary to examine the repeatability of the reference position decision. Though piezo (PZT) actuator driven linear stages have high precision feed drivers and a short stroke, they have some limitations for reference position decisions if they have not been equipped with an accurate home sensor. This study was performed to examine the repeatability for home position decision of a EE-SX671 photo sensor as a home switch by using piezo actuator driven linear stages and capacitance probe.

The rheological characteristics of PNN-PZT ceramics with high electromechanical coupling factor and electricstrictive constant was investigated. Green sheets of piezoelectric PNN-PZT ceramics were made by tape-casting method with controlling the mixing ratio of a dispersant, an organic binder, and a plasticizer. When the dispersant content was 1 wt.%, the slurry showed the best rheological characteristics for tape casting. The amounts of the plasticizer and the binder was simultaneously varied in the ranges of 1.5~18 and 3~9 wt.%, respectively. When both the plasticizer and binder of 6 wt.% mixed in the solution, respectiveley, the highest green density of the sheet was obtained without macrodefects. Multilyered structures of PNN-PZT/Ag-Pd were successfully fabricated using the optimized tape casting condition. The polarization behavior of these actuators seemed to similar to typical electricstrictive polarization behavior. The multilayer ceramic actuator is about $0.6{\times}10^{-3}$ of strain.
