Summary This thesis discusses the design, modeling, and control of piezoelectric actuator Two major contributions are reported in the thesis: design of external-sensing actuator and design of self-sensing actuator The major contribution of this thesis is that it offers a mechatronic approach in designing piezoelectric actuators With the emergence of nanotechnology and along with the trend of product miniaturization, piezoelectric actuators are gaining increasing attention in the industry as well as in research community; and this emphasizes the importance of discussing this type of actuators in the field of research Piezoelectric actuator exhibits nonlinear characteristics and, therefore, control of piezoelectric actuators constitute an integral part of it and is therefore an important subject, especially in the face of the high nonlinearity of piezoelectric actuators The first major portions of this thesis are the design, modeling, and control of external-sensing actuator, with application in intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) The technique of external-sensing actuation (ESA) is the usual, ubiquitous technique used in closed-loop control systems, where a separate, independent sensor is used to provide information about the sensing variables to allow the implementation of feedback control The main discussion issues are the design steps of the proposed actuator and the control algorithm used to control the proposed actuator The application area considered here, ICSI, is a biomedical application to perform an artificial fertilization In this application, the sperm is to be injected into an oocyte (egg cell) so as to result in fertilization A partially-rotating piezoelectric actuator is proposed in this application to provide an injection of the sperm into an oocyte v with minimum damage inflicted to the oocyte A linear-reciprocating piezoelectric actuator is also presented as an alternative approach to accomplish the same task As far as the application is concerned, the aim is to achieve blastocyst level of cell development with high survival rate The second major contribution of this thesis are the design, modeling, and control of self-sensing actuator, with application in a microdispensing system The technique of self-sensing actuation (SSA) is the implementation of a single component to function as both an actuator and a sensor This technique is not novel; in fact it has been around since 1990s and has been employed in several structures for vibration suppression This thesis proposes a discussion in the comparison between ESA and SSA technique, especially in which condition one technique is better than the other, with detailed study for a system whose reference signal is a switching trajectory Microdispensing system, the application area considered here, is a type of manufacturing process that dispenses liquid in a minute volume and in a precise manner, typically of the order of microliter In this thesis, a contacting and a non-contacting method of liquid dispensing are discussed; one is based on adhesive force principle and the other one is based on mass inertia principle The aim is to produce patterns of droplets with uniform dimension In addition to focusing on the comparison between ESA and SSA, the control system and design of the microdispensing system are also discussed In the two systems discussed in both cases, adaptive controllers are employed to overcome the adverse effect of nonlinearity inherited by the piezoelectric actuator The control system proposed in this thesis follows a scenario of combining a simple, linear controller to perform major task of trajectory tracking with a more complicated, non-linear controller to overcome the nonlinearity of the piezoelectric actuator Adaptive controller is chosen because of its ability to overcome nonlinearity without high computational requirements and also because it does not require repetitive reference signal, among other things Adaptive controller is mainly used here to overcome the hysteresis of the actuator, although it will also overcome other vi types of nonlinearity to a certain degree As an additional note, the linear controller used in this thesis is a proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller In applying the principle of mechatronic approach, especially in designing, the application area of the actuator has been considered since the initial stage of the design, along with the general structure of the actuator and the overall control system The aim is to arrive at a synergistic system in executing the prescribed tasks The synergy between different parts of the system is an important feature in the design of the proposed devices presented in this thesis because of the high-precision requirement of the applications of the said devices The modeling of the actuator is aimed at helping to design a satisfactory controller; especially the adaptive controller The focus is, therefore, not so much on achieving an accurate model, but in achieving a viable model that is sufficiently accurate, with low computational requirements This thesis does not aim to propose a novel model of piezoelectric actuator or its nonlinearity Rather, this thesis presents the use of the existing models with necessary modifications to suit the applications at hand Experiments have been conducted with satisfactory test results obtained The proposed devices have been developed and then implemented in the applications In the ESA contribution, the piezoelectric actuators for ICSI application have been able to increase the survival rates from 58 % to 76 % Furthermore, the self-designed partially-rotating actuator has reduced the vibration of the oocyte from 1.1943 µm to 0.5154 µm In the SSA contribution, SSA technique has reduced the RMS error from 53.47 µm to 24.26 µm Although this thesis is submitted for the field of electrical engineering, and more specifically in control engineering, the discussions throughout this thesis are not limited to the traditional topics of control system It also includes mechanical design, which is an integral part in any mechatronic system as the ones designed in this thesis Furthermore, a rather in-depth description of the application areas is also presented, i.e intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and microdispensing technology The vii description is presented in relation to designing the proposed devices; from mechanical, electrical, and control perspective, as well as system integration of these three components A separate chapter is dedicated to compile the various aspects required in designing the proposed actuators This chapter covers descriptions of piezoelectricity, nonlinearity, mechatronic system, control, modeling, and mechanical design In addition, adaptive control system is also discussed since this is used to overcome nonlinearity in the proposed devices Although this by no means is a complete discussion of their wide subjects, it shall provide necessary background and foundation for the subsequent chapters viii [23] A J Fleming and S O R Moheimani, “A grounded load charge
