Hysteresis and vibration compensation in a nonlinear unimorph piezocantilever
Abstract— Due to their rapidity and their high resolution, piezoelectric materials are very prized in microactuators and microrobotics. The classical example is the piezocantilev...

An Approach to Reduction of Hysteresis in Smart Materials
This paper addresses the problem of reducing the hysteresis found in the actuation of most smart materials. They are divided in two groups: systems with no saturation (e.g. piezoe...
