When a phototube is activated to connect a neural circuit, the output voltage becomes
sensitive to external illumination because the photocurrent across the phototube can be …

This paper proposes an enhanced sliding mode motion tracking control methodology for
piezoelectric actuators to track desired motion trajectories. The proposed control …

This study focuses on the experimental investigation of time-dependent effects of a
commercial piezoceramic material at room temperature. Specimens in the unpoled or poled …

A physics-based fractional-order Maxwell resistive capacitor (FOMRC) model is proposed to
characterize nonlinear hysteresis and creep behaviors of a piezoelectric actuator (PEA). The …

This paper presents two novel six-axis magnetic-levitation (maglev) stages capable of
nanoscale positioning. These stages have very simple and compact structures, which is …
