Hysteresis hinders the effective use of smart materials in sensors and actuators. This paper
addresses recursive identification and adaptive inverse control of hysteresis in smart …

Apart from the output-input hysteresis loops, the magnetostrictive actuators also exhibit
asymmetry and saturation, particularly under moderate to large magnitude inputs and at …

Inverse compensation is a fundamental technique in the control of systems with hysteresis.
In this expository article, we present algorithms for constructing the inverse of the Preisach …

The scanning accuracy of piezoelectric mechanisms over broadband frequencies is limited
due to inherent dynamic hysteresis. This phenomenon has been a key bottleneck to the use …

The paper proposes a novel magnetic field sensor where a technique for hysteresis
compensation is employed. The sensor integrates a magnetostrictive material with a Fiber …

Magnetostrictive actuators invariably exhibit hysteresis nonlinearities that tend to become
significant under high rates of inputs, and could cause oscillations and error in the micro …

Magnetostrictive actuators featuring high energy densities, large strokes, and fast responses
are playing an increasingly important role in micro/nano-positioning applications. However …

The conception of aircraft morphing wings thrives in aeronautics since the appearance of
shape memory alloys (SMAs). An aircraft morphing wing device, manipulated by an SMA …

This paper presents characterization and modeling for viscoelastic hysteresis exhibited by
dielectric elastomer actuator (DEAs). Firstly, output–input characteristics in terms of …
