Abstract

The accurate control of a system that exhibits hysteresis requires a control strategy that incorporates some form of compensation for the hysteresis. One approach is to develop an accurate model P of the hysteresis and then use the inverse P^-1 as a compensator (inverse compensation). This paper focuses on the problem of determining P and P^-1 for a piezoelectric stack actuator. The KP operator is used to formulate the hysteresis operator P and from this an approximation P_m is derived. Compensation is then defined in terms of the inverse of the approximation, P_m^-1. Experimental data collected on an unloaded piezoelectric stack actuator is used to demonstrate the concept of inverse compensation. The parameters of P_m are identified using only major hysteresis loop data and results are given that show P_m provides an accurate model for both major and minor hysteresis loops. Results are then presented that demonstrate the capability of the inverse P_m^-1 to compensate for the actuator hysteresis.
