Piezoelectric Actuators: Vector Control Method

Piezoelectric Actuators: Vector Control Method: Base, Modeling and Mechatronic Design of Ultrasonic Devices guides researchers and engineers through the process of implementing the vector control method (VCM) in their systems. The book presents which measurements can be made, how to visualize a variable as a rotating vector, about the angular position of the rotating reference frame, how to calculate the parameters of the controllers, and how to observe key variables. Additionally, the book focuses on the modeling of PE ultrasonic transducers and investigates the energy conversion process in an ultrasonic transducer.

• Presents the fundamentals of the VCM at a basic level for researchers and practitioners who are new to the field
• Simulates several MATLAB and Simulink examples for deeper learning of the subject
• Presents the application to several test cases, with actual measurements obtained on experimental test benches
• Describes practical implementations of the method
