Book Methods for Modeling and Control of Systems with Hysteresis of Shape Memory Alloy Actuators

Download or read book Methods for Modeling and Control of Systems with Hysteresis of Shape Memory Alloy Actuators written by Yufeng Wang and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hysteresis widely exists in smart materials such as shape memory alloys (SMAs), piezoelectrics, magnetorheological (MR) fluids, electrorheological (ER) fluids and so on. It severely affects the applicability of such materials in actuators and sensors. In this thesis, problems of modeling and control of systems with hysteresic SMAs actuators are studied. The approaches are also applicable to control of a wide class of smart actuators. Hysteresis exhibited by SMAs actuators is rate-independent when the input frequency is low, and can be modeled by a classical Preisach model or a KP model. The classical Preisach hysteresis model is a foundation of other hysteresis models. In this thesis, traditional methods are explained in advance to identify and implement the classical Preisach model. Due to the extremely large amount of computation involved in the methods, a new form of the Preisach model, linearly parameterized Preisach model, is introduced, and then an effective method to implement the model is presented. The KP model is a more effective operator to describe the Preisach class of hysteresis than the Preisach model. The relationship between the two models is revealed to verify the effectiveness of the KP model. Also, a linearly parameterized KP model is proposed. For both of the Preisach hysteresis model and the KP hysteresis model, algorithms of inverse hysteresis operators are developed, and simulations for modeling and inverse compensation are conducted. Since the Preisach model and the KP model can only describe hysteresis which has saturation states and reverse curves with zero initial slopes, a novel hysteresis model is defined to overcome these shortcomings. The newly defined hysteresis model is a low dimensional hysteresis model and can describe hysteresis which has revertible linear parts and reverse curves with non-zero initial slopes. The problems for controlling systems with input hysteresis have been pursued along three different paths: inverse compensation, gradient adaptive control and robust adaptive control for linear and nonlinear systems. Control schemes of open-loop inverse compensation and gradient adaptive inverse compensation for the Preisach hysteresis model are explored to eliminate the effects of the hysteresis when the output of the hysteretic actuator is measurable. Usually hysteresis of smart actuator in systems is not exactly known, but it can be approximately modeled via the linearly parameterized KP model. For a known linear system preceded by an unknown actuator hysteresis, a model reference control scheme combining with an adaptive inverse compensation is designed for tracking control of the systems. While an unknown linear system preceded by an unknown actuator hysteresis, a model reference adaptive control scheme together with an adaptive inverse compensation is developed for tracking control of the system. Simulations for both cases have been performed to illustrate the control methods. Finally, when hysteresis of smart actuator in systems has a non-measurable output and is modeled via the KP model or the newly defined model, a novel robust adaptive control configuration is presented for tracking control of systems. The analysis for the stability and the convergence of the control systems is conducted. Simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the novel control method.

Book Fuzzy PWM PID Control and Shape Memory Alloy Actuator for Cocontracting Antagonistic Muscle Pairs in an Artificial Finger

Download or read book Fuzzy PWM PID Control and Shape Memory Alloy Actuator for Cocontracting Antagonistic Muscle Pairs in an Artificial Finger written by Junghyuk Ko and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents biomimetic control of an anthropomorphic artificial finger actuated by three antagonistic shape memory alloy (SMA) muscle pairs that are each configured in a dual spring-biased configuration. This actuation system forms the basis for biomimetic tendon-driven flexion/extension of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the artificial finger, as well as the abduction/adduction of its MCP joint. This work focuses on the design and experimental verification of a new fuzzy pulse-width-modulated proportional-integral-derivative (i.e. fuzzy PWM-PID) controller that is capable of realizing cocontraction of the SMA muscle pairs, as well as online tuning of the PID gains to deal with system nonlinearities and parameter uncertainties. One of the main purposes of this thesis is the proposed biomimetic cocontraction control strategy, which co-activates the antagonistic muscle pairs as a synergistic functional unit. It emulates a similar strategy in neural control, called?common drive,? employed by the central nervous system (CNS). In order to maintain a desired position of a joint, the corresponding agonistic muscle pairs are cocontracted by the CNS and numerical simulations using a dynamic model of the system. The performance advantage of the cocontracting fuzzy PWM-PID controller over the original PWM-PID controller is shown by experimental results. A successful application of the new controller to fingertip trajectory tracking tasks using the MCP joint's flexion/extension and abduction/adduction is also described. Since commercially available SMA actuators used for artificial muscle pairs have limited stroke, a new compact design was considered to increase the stroke of SMA actuators with similar power capacity. The design and fabrication process of the new SMA actuators are described followed by preliminary testing of the actuators' performance as artificial muscle pairs with the designed fuzzy PWM-PID control algorithm.

Book position control with magnetic shape memory actuators

Download or read book position control with magnetic shape memory actuators written by Leonardo Riccardi and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-02-26 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic shape memory alloys are promising materials for several applications, such as positioning systems. This book presents the main features of those materials, and then addresses the problem of controlling magnetic shape memory positioning actuators. Two control approaches are introduced, namely a PID control and an adaptive control based on adaptive hysteresis compensation. They are able to handle the presence of hysteresis in the input-output characteristic. The adaptive approach also handles the temperature-dependent behaviour of the nonlinearity. Experimental results performed on several actuator prototypes demonstrate the effectiveness of the control approaches presented here.

Book Adaptive Inverse Modeling of a Shape Memory Alloy Wire Actuator and Tracking Control with the Model

Download or read book Adaptive Inverse Modeling of a Shape Memory Alloy Wire Actuator and Tracking Control with the Model written by Bong Su Koh and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that the Preisach model is useful to approximate the effect of hysteresis behavior in smart materials, such as piezoactuators and Shape Memory Alloy(SMA) wire actuators. For tracking control, many researchers estimate a Preisach model and then compute its inverse model for hysteresis compensation. However, the inverse of its hysteresis behavior also shows hysteresis behavior. From this idea, the inverse model with Kransnoselskii-Pokrovskii(KP) model, a developed version of Preisach model, can be used directly for SMA position control and avoid the inverse operation. Also, we propose another method for the tracking control by approximating the inverse model using an orthogonal polynomial network. To estimate and update the weight parameters in both inverse models, a gradient-based learning algorithm is used. Finally, for the SMA position control, PID controller, adaptive controllers with KP model and adaptive nonlinear inverse model controller are compared experimentally.
