Uncertainty quantification for PZT bimorph actuators

Bravo, N., Smith, R. C., & Crews, J. (2018, March 22). BEHAVIOR AND MECHANICS OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS AND COMPOSITES XII, Vol. 10596.

By: N. Bravo n, R. Smith n  & J. Crews*

author keywords: Uncertainty Quantification; PZT Bimorph; Modeling; Surrogate; Homogenized Energy Model
topics (OpenAlex): Probabilistic and Robust Engineering Design; Advanced Multi-Objective Optimization Algorithms; Piezoelectric Actuators and Control
TL;DR: A high-fidelity model for a PZT bimorph actuator used for micro-air vehicles, which includes the Robobee is developed using the homogenized energy model (HEM) framework, which quantifies the nonlinear, hysteretic, and rate-dependent behavior inherent to PzT in dynamic operating regimes.
