We present a piezoelectric actuator using stiffness control and stroke amplification mechanism in order to make large lateral displacement. In this work, we suggest stiffness control approach that generates lateral displacement by increasing the vertical stiffness and reducing the lateral stiffness using additional structure. In addition, an additional structure of a serpentine spring amplifies the lateral displacement like leverage structure. The suggested lateral PZT actuator (bellows actuator) consists of serpentine spring and PZT/electrode layer which is located at the edge of the serpentine spring. The edge of the serpentine spring prevents the vertical motion of PZT layer, while the other edge of the serpentine spring makes stroke amplification like leverage structure. We have determined dimensions of the bellows actuator using ANSYS simulation. Length, width and thickness of PZT layer are 135$\mu$m, 20$\mu$m and 0.4$\mu$m, respectively. Dimensions of the silicon serpentine spring are thickness of 25$\mu$m, length of 300$\mu$m, and width of 5$\mu$m. The bellows actuator has been fabricated by SOI wafer with 25$\mu$m-top silicon and 1$\mu$m-buried oxide layer. The bellows actuator shows the maximum 3.93$\pm$0.2$\mu$m lateral displacement at 16V with 1Hz sinusoidal voltage input. In the frequency response test, the fabricated bellows actuator showed consistent displacement from 1Hz to 1kHz at 10V. From experimental study, we found the bellows actuator using thin film PZT and silicon serpentine spring generated mainly laterally displacement not vertical displacement at 16V, and serpentine spring played role of stroke amplification.

본 논문은 몇 가지 종류의 압전 복합재료 작동기 LIPCA의 성능 시험 및 비교에 관한 것이다. LIPCA는 압전 세라믹을 중심으로 상층부는 탄성계수가 크면서 열팽창계수가 낮은 섬유강화 복합재료 층이, 하층부는 탄성계수가 작으면서 열팽창계수가 큰 섬유강화 복합재료 층으로 구성되어 있다. 작동기의 성능 검증을 위해 작동 지그 및 전압 공급 장치 그치고 비접촉 레이저 센서로 이루어진 실험 시스템을 구성하였다 성능 비교시험 결과 검증실험으로부터 압전 작동기의 작동성능은 전기 작동 재료층이 중립면으로부터 멀리 벗어나게 위치하면서, 동시에 적층판의 전체 굽힘 강성을 작게 하면 극대화할 수 있다는 사실을 입증하였다.

In this paper we deal with a hydraulic tilting actuator to make a diagnosis of load characteristic acting on the tilting actuator of the tilting train. Tilting actuator in the tilting train plays a role of making tilt of the train when the train runs a curve section to make the train run without deceleration. However in the process of tilt the tilting actuator is affected by the load acting on the actuator, which has a possibility to make bogie vibration. In order to figure out the effect of the load on the tilting actuator a hydraulic tilting devices that are capable of tilting the train is proposed. The proposed devices are installed in the front bogie and in the rear bogie to make tilting of the train. The devices are consist of sensors that measure the load capacity of the actuator and displacement of the hydraulic cylinder stroke, control blocks to make synchronization of the two actuators, user interface block to monitor the status of the actuators. The effectiveness of the proposed hydraulic tilting actuators is presented by the experimental evaluation using actual tilting train.

평판 유동에서 유동을 제어하기 위하여 압전 세라믹을 이용한 액추에이터가 설계되었다. 액추에이터가 15Hz의 낮은 가진 주파수로 구동할 때, 설계된 액추에이터에 의해 발생된 유동 교란을 알아보기 위해 경계층 측정이 수행되었다. 경계층에서의 평균 유동속도와 섭동량이 액추에이터 끝단에서 $x/{\delta}^*=31.9$ 떨어진 하류위치에서 1축 열선프로브(55P14)로 측정되었다. 측정 결과, 속도가 느린 영역과 빠른 영역이 각각 액추에이터의 중심부근 및 바깥부분에서 관찰되었으며, 이것으로 서로 마주보며 회전하는 한 쌍의 유동방향 와류의 발생이 예측되었다. 섭동량은 액추에이터의 바깥부분에서 크게 나타났으며, 벽면근처에서 유동방향 속도의 스팬방향 변화에서 변곡점이 관찰되었다. 액추에이터가 낮은 주파수에서 구동하는 경우에는 경계층 불안정성이 액추에이터의 가진 주파수와 T-S 파동에 해당하는 주파수에서 함께 증폭된다.

스파크제트 액츄에이터는 플라즈마 합성 제트 액츄에이터(plasma synthetic jet actuator, PSJA)라고도 불리는 능동 유동 제어 장치로, 초음속 유동의 제어 가능성이 있어 많은 연구가 진행 중이다. 이 액츄에이터는 아크 플라즈마를 이용해 캐비티(cavity) 내부에 에너지를 주입하여 온도와 압력을 상승시킨다. 온도와 압력이 상승한 캐비티에서 오리피스(orifice)를 통해 압력파와 제트가 분출되어 외부 유동에 교란을 준다. 플라즈마의 영향으로 캐비티 유동은 고온, 고압의 평형 유동이 되기 때문에 스파크제트 액츄에이터의 유동 해석을 위해선 공기의 평형 상태를 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 평형 유동의 특성을 고려하여 스파크제트 액츄에이터 유동 해석을 위한 수치해석 프로그램을 개발했다. 개발된 프로그램의 검증으로 문헌에서 얻을 수 있는 실험 결과와 시간에 따른 제트의 위치를 비교했다. 또한 상온, 상압의 무풍에서 액츄에이터의 추력 특성을 분석했다.

This paper presents a control augmentation system (CAS) based on the dynamic model inversion (DMI) architecture for a highly maneuverable aircraft. In the application of DMI not treating actuator dynamics, significant instabilities arise due to limitations on the aircraft inputs, such as actuator time delay based on dynamics and actuator displacement limit. Actuator input saturation usually occurs during high angles of attack maneuvering in low dynamic pressure conditions. The pseudo-control hedging (PCH) algorithm is applied to prevent or delay the instability of the CAS due to a slow actuator or occurrence of actuator saturation. The performance of the proposed CAS with PCH architecture is demonstrated through a nonlinear flight simulation.

In this paper, we present an artificial muscle actuator producing rectilinear motion, called the Tube-Spring-Actuator(TSA). The TSA is supposed to be a prospective substitute in areas requiring macro forces such as robotics. It is simply configured from a synthetic elastomer tube with an inserted spring. The design of the TSA is described in detail and its analysis is conducted to investigate the characteristics of the actuator based on the derived model. In addition, the performance of the proposed actuator is tested via experiments.

The paper deals with the numerical analysis and design optimization of polysilicon micro thermal flexure actuator. The deflection of a thermal actuator is implicitly related to the actuation time so that such deflection is to be maximized under the consideration of structural performances such as maximum stress and natural frequencies. At first, the structural formulation of a thermal actuator is reviewed, and its CAE based simulation is performed to verify the numerical model. A parametric study is then conducted to identify the mainly effective design variables. Finally, the design of a micro thermal actuator is explored in the context of deterministic optimization and reliability based design optimization in the present study.

A hybrid electromagnetic actuator with an air spring is designed so as to achieve the desired isolation reduce the vibration efficiency on the floor vibration. The performance specification of the hybrid electromagnetic actuator is determined based on the vibration criterion for vibration-sensitive equipment. In basic design stage of the electromagnetic actuator, the simple reluctance method is adapted to analyze magnetic circuits. The result is verified by finite element analysis using ANSYS Emag. Finally, some design parameters are optimized under several constraint conditions. Through this study, the design procedure for a specific electromagnetic actuator is set up using a simple reluctance method.

A new bio-mimetic actuator is proposed. The actuator realizes bidirectional actuation since it is with a stretched film antagonistically configured with compliant electrodes. Also, it is distinguished from existing actuators with respect to the controllability of its compliance. Bidirectional actuation and compliance controllability are important characteristics for the artificial muscle actuator and the proposed one accomplishes these requirements without any mechanical substitute or complicated algorithms. In this paper its basic concepts and working principles are introduced with static and dynamic analysis. Control strategies for displacement as well as stiffness are introduced and experimental results are given to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methods. In addition, an example of robotic actuating devices is given to confirm the usefulness of the proposed actuator.
