In this paper, we propose a model for dynamic magnetostrictive hysteresisin a thin rod actuator. We derive two equations that representmagnetic and mechanical dynamic equilibrium. Our model results from an application of ...

A novel hybrid rotary motor incorporating piezoelectric and magnetostrictive actuators has been designed and demonstrated. The novelty of this motor was the creation of an electrical resonant circuit, whereby reactive power ...

In this paper we formulate and study an interesting (sub) optimal H∞ control problem related to the attenuation of impulsive disturbances to a class of linear systems. Among the motivating factors is the need to study ...

This report presents the Displacement (Strain)-Current characteristic of an ETREMA MP 50/6 magnetostrictive actuator. This actuator is made of TERFENOL-D and displays giant magnetostriction. The displacement-current ...

It is remarkable that despite the presence of large numbers of degrees of freedom, motion control problems are effectively solved in biological systems. While feedback, regulation and tracking have served us well in ...

It has been known for some time that the classical work of Kirchhoff, Love,and Birkhoff on rigid bodies in incompressible, irrotational flows provideseffective models for treating control problems for underwater vehicles.This ...
