This paper deals with the feasibility assessment of hybrid linear motor that operates based on self-moving cell concept. The moving cell is composed of Magnetostrictive actuator and a ring structure, and a cell train is constructed by connecting two cells in series. Since this motor uses strong push force of Terfenol-D actuators and friction of the cells, it can essentially produce long stroke and large force. The overall performance of the motor was measured in terms of speed and force.

In this paper we explore the effectiveness of a magnetostrictive actuator(MSA) as a structural control device. A series of numerical and experimental tests are carried out with a simple aluminum beam only supported at each end by the actuator. After the equation of motion of the controlled system is obtained by the finite element method, a model reduction is performed to reduce the numbers of degree of freedom. A linear quadratic feedback controller is realized on a real-time digital control system to damp the first four elastic modes of the beam. Through some tests, we confirmed the possibility of this actuator for controlling beam-like structures.

Fundamental characteristics of giant magnetostrictive alloy $Terfenol-D(Tb_{0.3}Dy_{0.7}Fe_{1.9~1.95})$ are rreasured and discussed on the application for actuators. The magnetostriction is measured by laser displacement rreasuring system and the applied compressive stress is measured by load cell. Magnetostrictions increased as the applied compressive stresses increased. When the stress is 7 MPa, the magnetostriction is 1000 ppm at 1500 Oe. As the stresses iocreased from 0 to 14 MPa, the magnetic fields for saturating the magnetostriction also increased. The temperature increased during the experiment is $0.3^{\circ}C$, so the thermal expansion is negligible in these experirrents. The feedback or temperature control function should be added for the precise position control actuator.

This paper addresses the development of inverse compensation techniques for a class of ferromagnetic transducers including magnetostrictive actuators. In this work, hysteresis is modeled through the domain wall theory originally proposed by Jiles and Atherton[1]. This model is based on the quantification of the energy required to translate domain walls pinned at inclusions in the material with the magnetization at a given field level specified through the solution of an ordinary differential equation. A complementary differential equation is then employed to compute the inverse which can be used to compensate for hysteresis and nonlinear dynamics in control design.

The magnetostriction of FeCoGe/phenol composites, which is one of the magnetostrictive materials, measured at the external magnetic field. The measurement was carried out using the electrical-resistance strain gage, the wheaten's Bridge for eliminating the unnecessary voltage, and the lock-in-amp for signal amplification and noise filtering. When the external magnetic field was applied in the longitudinal the samples, the maximum strain of 120ppm was taken with regard to the 10wt.% phenol composite. This results indicate that the FeCoGe/phenol composites can be useful as an actuator because it has larger stain than the other solid state actuators such as piezo electric materials.

The design and test of an magnetostrictive linear motor(MLM) that operates based on self-moving cell concept is presented. The moving cell is composed of Terfenol-D linear actuator and a ring structure, and a cell train is constructed by connecting two cells in series. Since this motor uses the stroke of Terfenol-D actuators and friction force of the cells, it can essentially produce long stroke and large force. The overall performance of the MLM was measured in terms of speed and force. The pushing force is directly related with the friction force. This work is a proof-of-concept stage and investigation is necessary for realistic application.

Piezoelectric or magnetostrictive materials, known as smart materials, have been researched widely for sensors or actuators in micro system technology. In our research, thick sol-gel lead zirconate titanate(Pb(Zr$\sub$1-x/Ti$\sub$x/)O$_3$) films were fabricated and their characteristics were investigated f3r angular rate sensor applications. The thickness of the PZT films is 1.5${\mu}$m, which is required by a vibration angular rate sensor for a good actuation and sensing. The remnant polarization of the PZT flms is 12.0 ${\mu}$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The electromechanical constants of PZT thin film showed the value of susceptance(B) of 4800${\mu}$ s at capacitance of 790pF. The PZT films were applied to the vibration angular rate sensor structure and the vibration of 1.78 ${\mu}$m in amplitude at the resonant frequency of 35.8㎑ was obtained by driving voltage of 5V$\sub$p-p/ of bulk piezoelectric materials with out of phase signal through voltage and inverting amplifier.
