Development of a Novel 2-DOF Rotary-Linear Piezoelectric Actuator Operating under Hybrid Bending-Radial Vibration Mode.

ABSTRACT: The paper presents a numerical and experimental investigation of a novel two degrees of freedom (2-DOF) piezoelectric actuator that can generate rotary motion of the sphere-shaped rotor as well as induce planar motion of the flat stage. The actuator has a small size and simple design and can be integrated into a printed circuit board (PCB). The application field of the actuator is small-dimensional and high-precision positioning systems. The piezoelectric actuator comprises three rectangular bimorph plates joined with arcs and arranged by an angle of 120 degrees. A high-stiffness rod is glued on the top surface of each bimorph plate and is used to rotate the rotor or move flat stage employing contact friction force. Three U-shaped structures are used for the actuator clamping. 2-DOF rotational or planar movement is obtained by applying a harmonic or asymmetric electrical signal. The operation principle of the actuator is based on the superposition of the B₂₀ out-of-plane bending mode of the bimorph plates and the B₀₃ radial vibration mode of the ring. Design optimization has been performed to maximize amplitudes of contact point vibration. A prototype of the actuator was made, and a maximum rotation speed of 795.15 RPM was achieved while preload of 546.03 mN was applied. The linear velocity of 36.45 mm/s was obtained at the same preload force. Resolution measurement showed that the actuator can achieve an angular resolution of 17.48 µrad and a linear resolution of 2.75 µm.

Antagonist Concepts of Polypyrrole Actuators: Bending Hybrid Actuator and Mirrored Trilayer Linear Actuator.

Project description:Following the natural muscle antagonist actuation principle, different adaptations for "artificial muscles" are introduced in this work. Polypyrrole (PPy) films of different polymerization techniques (potentiostatic and galvanostatic) were analyzed and their established responses were combined in several ways, resulting in beneficial actuation modes. A consecutive "one-pot" electrosynthesis of two layers with the different deposition regimes resulted in an all-PPy bending hybrid actuator. While in most cases the mixed-ion activity of conductive polymers has been considered a problem or a drawback, here for the first time, the nearly equal expansions upon oxidation and reduction of carefully selected conditions further allowed to fabricate a "mirrored" trilayer laminate, which behaved as a linear actuator.

35 Hz shape memory alloy actuator with bending-twisting mode.

Project description:Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) materials are widely used as an actuating source for bending actuators due to their high power density. However, due to the slow actuation speed of SMAs, there are limitations in their range of possible applications. This paper proposes a smart soft composite (SSC) actuator capable of fast bending actuation with large deformations. To increase the actuation speed of SMA actuator, multiple thin SMA wires are used to increase the heat dissipation for faster cooling. The actuation characteristics of the actuator at different frequencies are measured with different actuator lengths and results show that resonance can be used to realize large deformations up to 35?Hz. The actuation characteristics of the actuator can be modified by changing the design of the layered reinforcement structure embedded in the actuator, thus the natural frequency and length of an actuator can be optimized for a specific actuation speed. A model is used to compare with the experimental results of actuators with different layered reinforcement structure designs. Also, a bend-twist coupled motion using an anisotropic layered reinforcement structure at a speed of 10?Hz is also realized. By increasing their range of actuation characteristics, the proposed actuator extends the range of application of SMA bending actuators.

A Piezoelectric and Electromagnetic Dual Mechanism Multimodal Linear Actuator for Generating Macro- and Nanomotion.

Project description:Fast actuation with nanoprecision over a large range has been a challenge in advanced intelligent manufacturing like lithography mask aligner. Traditional stacked stage method works effectively only in a local, limited range, and vibration coupling is also challenging. Here, we design a dual mechanism multimodal linear actuator (DMMLA) consisted of piezoelectric and electromagnetic costator and coslider for producing macro-, micro-, and nanomotion, respectively. A DMMLA prototype is fabricated, and each working mode is validated separately, confirming its fast motion (0~50 mm/s) in macromotion mode, micromotion (0~135 μm/s) and nanomotion (minimum step: 0~2 nm) in piezoelectric step and servomotion modes. The proposed dual mechanism design and multimodal motion method pave the way for next generation high-precision actuator development.

A Novel Spider-Inspired Rotary-Rolling Diaphragm Actuator with Linear Torque Characteristic and High Mechanical Efficiency.

Project description:We present a novel, fluid-driven rotary-rolling diaphragm actuator with direct rotary output. Its working principle is inspired by the spider leg's hydraulically operated joints and the diaphragm design of rolling diaphragm actuators. The new actuator is fully sealed, shows minimal output torque losses, and minimum friction during operation. Stiction and Coulomb friction are avoided by design. Our proposed mechanism can be used as a compliant actuator in soft robots, or as a stiff transmission device, depending on the fluid and working pressure. The rotary-rolling diaphragm is the defining component of the actuator. The diaphragm is based on silicone rubber, reinforced by a fabric with anisotropic tensile strength characteristics. The diaphragm is custom-designed to follow the actuator's toroidal shape and to ensure the smooth unrolling behavior throughout the stroke. Our actuator outputs a constant torque throughout its stroke compared with monolithic, rotary soft robot actuators with a change in torque. Our design offers a high mechanical efficiency of 95%, compactness, a wide working range of 100°, and a low mechanical complexity from a single chamber.

Low Profile Triangle-Shaped Piezoelectric Rotary Motor.

Project description:In this paper, we present research on a novel low-profile piezoelectric rotary motor with a triangle-shaped stator. The stator of the motor comprises three interconnected piezoelectric bimorph plates forming an equilateral triangle. Bimorph plates consist of a passive layer fabricated from stainless steel and four piezo ceramic plates glued to the upper and lower surfaces. Furthermore, spherical contacts are positioned on each bimorph plate at an offset from the plate's center. Vibrations from the stator are induced by a single sawtooth-type electric signal while the frequency of the excitation signal is close to the resonant frequency of the second out-of-plane bending mode of the bimorph plate. The offset of the spherical contacts allows for a half-elliptical motion trajectory. By contrast, the forward and backward motion velocities of the contacts differ due to the asymmetrical excitation signal. The inertial principle of the motor and the angular motion of the rotor were obtained. Numerical and experimental investigations showed that the motor operates at a frequency of 21.18 kHz and achieves a maximum angular speed of 118 RPM at a voltage of 200 Vp-p. Additionally, an output torque of 18.3 mN·mm was obtained under the same voltage. The ratio between motor torque and weight is 36 mN·mm/g, while the ratio of angular speed and weight is 28.09 RPM/g.

Microfluidic cell sorter with integrated piezoelectric actuator.

Project description:We demonstrate a low-power (<0.1 mW), low-voltage (<10 V(p-p)) on-chip piezoelectrically actuated micro-sorter that can deflect single particles and cells at high-speed. With rhodamine in the stream, switching of flow between channels can be visualized at high actuation frequency (micro1.7 kHz). The magnitude of the cell deflection can be precisely controlled by the magnitude and waveform of input voltage. Both simulation and experimental results indicate that the drag force imposed on the suspended particle/cell by the instantaneous fluid displacement can alter the trajectory of the particle/cell of any size, shape, and density of interest in a controlled manner. The open-loop E. Coli cell deflection experiment demonstrates that the sorting mechanism can produce a throughput of at least 330 cells/s, with a promise of a significantly higher throughput for an optimized design. To achieve close-loop sorting operation, fluorescence detection, real-time signal processing, and field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) implementation of the control algorithms were developed to perform automated sorting of fluorescent beads. The preliminary results show error-free sorting at a sorting efficiency of micro 70%. Since the piezoelectric actuator has an intrinsic response time of 0.1-1 ms and the sorting can be performed under high flowrate (particle speed of micro 1-10 cm/s), the system can achieve a throughput of >1,000 particles/s with high purity.

A fully passive nonlinear piezoelectric vibration absorber.

Project description:The objective of this study is to develop the first fully passive nonlinear piezoelectric tuned vibration absorber (NPTVA). The NPTVA is designed to mitigate a specific resonance of a nonlinear host structure. To avoid the use of synthetic inductors which require external power, closed magnetic circuits in ferrite material realize the large inductance values required by vibration mitigation at low frequencies. The saturation of an additional passive inductor is then exploited to build the nonlinearity in the NPTVA. The performance of the proposed device is demonstrated both numerically and experimentally.This article is part of the theme issue 'Nonlinear energy transfer in dynamical and acoustical systems'.

Single Cylinder-Type Piezoelectric Actuator with Two Active Kinematic Pairs.

Project description:There is an ever-increasing demand for small-size, low-cost, and high-precision positioning systems. Therefore, investigation in this field is performed to search for various solutions that can meet technical requirements of precise multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) positioning systems. This paper presents a new design of a piezoelectric cylindrical actuator with two active kinematic pairs. This means that a single actuator is used to create vibrations that are transformed into the rotation of the sphere located on the top of the cylinder and at the same time ensure movement of the piezoelectric cylinder on the plane. Numerical and experimental investigations of the piezoelectric cylinder have been performed. A mathematical model of contacting force control was developed to solve the problem of positioning of the rotor when it needs to be rotated or moved according to a specific motion trajectory. The numerical simulation included harmonic response analysis of the actuator to analyze the trajectories of the contact points motion. A prototype actuator has been manufactured and tested. Obtained results confirmed that such a device is suitable for both positioning and movement of the actuator in the plane.

A Single Oscillator-Excited Piezoelectric Actuator with Internal Contact Teeth.

Project description:The tail rotor of a helicopter, a crucial component, traditionally relies on a complex drive mode involving reducers and transmission gears. This conventional setup, with its lengthy transmission chain and numerous components, hinders miniaturization efforts. In response to this challenge, our paper presents a novel piezoelectric drive approach. Our objective was to suggest an innovative design capable of minimizing the components involved in the tail rotor drive. This design can be adjusted in size according to specific requirements and is effective up to a specified speed. Moreover, it facilitates the process of miniaturization and integration. The piezoelectric actuator's stator comprises an ultrasonic amplitude transformer, a ring, and three drive teeth. Utilizing the rod-like structure of the tail brace, the actuator is simplified by adhering ceramic sheets to it. The rotary piezoelectric actuator combines the first longitudinal mode of a rod with torus bending modes. The drive teeth then amplify the ring's displacement, facilitating rotor rotation. The resonant frequency and modal shape of the actuator were determined using the finite element method. Furthermore, an investigation was conducted to analyze the influence of the drive teeth positioning on the motion trajectory at the contact point. Theoretically, we infer that the declination angle of the drive tooth is a crucial parameter for achieving high speeds. To test our idea, we built three prototype stators with different drive tooth declination angles. Our actuator stands out for its cost-effectiveness, structural simplicity, compatibility with harmonic signals, and ease of miniaturization. It can be considered for the drive of the tail rotor of a microhelicopter.

Non-linear infrared spectroscopy of the water bending mode: direct experimental evidence of hydration shell reorganization?

Project description:The structure and dynamics of liquid water are further studied by investigating the bend vibrational mode of HDO/D2O and pure H2O via two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR) and linear absorption. The experimental findings and theoretical calculations support a picture in which the HDO bend is localized and the H2O bend is delocalized. The HDO and H2O bends present a loss of the frequency-frequency correlation in subpicosecond time scale. While the loss of correlation for the H2O bend is likely to be associated with the vibrational dynamics of a delocalized transition, the loss of the correlation in the localized HDO bend appears to arise from the fluctuations/rearrangements of the local environment. Interestingly, analysis of the HDO 2D-IR spectra shows the presence of multiple overlapping inhomogeneous distributions of frequencies that interchange in a few picoseconds. Theoretical calculations allow us to propose an atomistic model of the observed vibrational dynamics in which the different inhomogeneous distributions and their interchange are assigned to water molecules with different hydrogen-bond states undergoing chemical exchange. The frequency shifts as well as the concentration of the water molecules with single and double hydrogen-bonds as donors derived from the theory are in good agreement with our experimental findings.
