Inverse compensation for hysteresis in piezoelectric actuator using an asymmetric rate-dependent model

This paper presents a modified Bouc-Wen model for asymmetric rate-dependent hysteresis in piezoelectric actuator. On this basis, we develop a new digital inverse controller with a simple structure cascaded in the feedforward path for piezoelectric actuator. In order to eliminate modeling errors and parameter uncertainties, the developed inverse controller is combined with a feedback loop to establish a hybrid control scheme. In our experiments, the proposed model together with the developed hybrid control scheme has shown significantly reduced tracking errors caused by asymmetric rate-dependent hysteresis in piezoelectric actuator.
