Mechanical properties of cells have been recognized as a biomarker for cellular cytoskeletal
organization. As chemical treatments lead to cell cytoskeletal rearrangements, thereby …

The main goal of this paper is studying characteristics of the parasitic motion principle (PMP)
piezoelectric actuator and providing a dynamic model for possible control and optimization …

Recent studies have shown that the nonlinear dynamics of nano-positioning systems (eg,
piezo-electric actuators (PEAs)) can be accurately captured by recurrent neural networks …

In this article, an optimal data-driven difference-inversion-based iterative control (ODDD-IIC)
method is proposed for high-speed precision tracking in the presence of dynamics changes …

We describe bending by liquid/liquid or liquid/air interfaces as a simple and broadly
applicable technique for measuring the elastic modulus of thin elastic sheets. The balance …

In this paper, we propose a finite-impulse-response (FIR)-based feedforward control
approach to mitigate the acoustic-caused probe vibration during atomic force microscope …

Development of a robust and cost-effective method of joining dissimilar materials could
provide a critical pathway to enable widespread use of multimaterial designs and …

This paper presents a post-filtering approach to eliminate distortions in atomic force
microscope (AFM) images caused by acoustic noise from an unknown location. AFM …

Stick-slip actuators are in high demand in both scientific research and industrial
applications. However, backward motion in stick-slip actuators has greatly limited further …

Due to mechanical vibration and nonlinearities such as hysteresis and creep effect, it is
difficult to achieve precise control of nano-positioning stages for high-speed/bandwidth …
