Linear Drive of Non-Linear Piezoelectric Actuators.

open access: yesTRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 1994
Piezoelectric ceramics are ferroelectric, and are fundamentally nonlinear in their response to the applied voltage signal, showing a significant hysteretic loop. This paper deals with the linear drive of nonlinear piezoelectric ceramic actuators. It is shown that the expansion of a ceramic actuator can be approximated by a third-order polynomial in the
