This paper presents a deep analysis of different feed-forward (FF) techniques combined with two proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control to guide real piezoelectric actuator (PEA). These devices are well known for non-linear effect called “hysteresis” which generates an undesirable performance during the device operation. First, PEA was analysed under experiments determine response frequencies and voltages. Secondly, voltage frequency inputs were chosen study approaches performed using...

In piezoelectric actuators (PEAs), which suffer from inherent nonlinearities, sliding mode control (SMC) has proven to be a successful strategy. Nonetheless, in micropositioning systems with time delay, integral proportional (PI), and SMC, feedback schemes have tendency overcompensate and, consequently, high controller gains must rejected. This may produce slow inaccurate response. paper presents novel strategy that deals time-delay aimed at achieving precise positioning by combining an...
