In this aticle, an invesion-base contol appoach is popose an pesente fo tacking esie tajectoies with high-spee (Hz), non-smooth (tiangle an sawtooth wave, an micoscale-amplitue ( micon) wave foms. The inteesting challenge is that the tacking involves the tajectoies that possess a high fequency, a micoscale amplitue, shap tunaouns at the cones. Two iffeent types of wave tajectoies, which ae tiangle an sawtooth waves, ae investigate.

INTRODUCTION A piezo stage is wiely use in positioning an actuating motions in nano/micoscale isplacements o amplitues. Seveal woks have use a piezoactuato to achieve the goals. Fo example, the woks one by Kongthon et al., (, an ) employe a piezo-base positioning system to ive the biomimetic cilia-base evice so that the mixing pefomance in a mico evice was impove. Moallem et al., () use piezoelectic evices fo the flexue contol of a positioning system. The tacking of a tajectoy is vey common in contol poblems such as the woks by Beschi et al., () an Matin et al., (99). Tacking can be challenging in high-fequency applications with vey small isplacements. The challenge in this wok is that the tajectoies ae of high-spee (Hz), nonsmooth (tiangle an sawtooth wave, an micoscale-amplitue ( micon) wave foms. The goal is to popose a contolle that can tack pescibe tajectoies popely with a goo tacking pefomance. The tacking pefomance can be measue by the oot mean squae eo (RMSE) an the maximum eo (E max ). The est of this aticle is stuctue as follows. Section intouces the two tajectoies. The piezoactuato moel is obtaine in section. The contol scheme is popose in section. Section 5 shows the esults. In section, the obustness is investigate. Section 7 conclues the aticle. TRAJECTORIES. The Tajectoies to Be Tacke In this wok, thee ae two types of wave fom tajectoies use to investigate the tacking pefomance of the piezoactuato moel: tiangle wave, shown in Fig. an sawtooth wave, shown in Fig.. 99 Kongthon, J.

PIEZO ACTUATOR MODEL Figue : Oiginal tajectoy fo tiangle wave of μ m amplitue an Hz fequency A piezo-base positioning system, o piezo stage, can be use in applications that equie vey small isplacements an lage fequency anges. A piezoactuato can geneate an extemely small isplacement own to the subnanomete ange. The numbe of vibation moes fo the piezo stage is infinite since the beam mechanism insie the piezo stage has an infinite imension. In geneal, an infinite imensional plant can be appoximate by a finite imensional moel, an in pactice, it is possible to take the fist few moes of vibation to epesent the total ynamics of the plant.. Fequency Response Expeiment To obtain the moel of the piezoactuato shown in Fig., the piezoactuato an the ynamic signal analyze shown in Fig., togethe with an inuctive senso an a powe amplifie ae connecte as shown in Fig. 5 to get the fequency esponse, an the moel is then obtaine. Figue : Oiginal tajectoy fo sawtooth wave of μm amplitue an Hz fequency. Filtee an Desie Tajectoies It can be seen in Figs. an that the oiginal tajectoies contain vey shap tunaouns at the cones. In pactice, an actuato cannot tack a tajectoy with a vey shap cone popely as it has a limite banwith. In oe to achieve a goo tacking pefomance, the oiginal tajectoies theefoe nee to be smoothen by a secon-oe filte with the filteing tansfe function of the fom. G f ω f ( s + ω f ω f s + ω f whee ω f is the beak fequency of the filte, an In this wok, ω f of Hz, o (π ) a/s is selecte to get the tajectoies filtee. The filtee tajectoy is heeafte efee to as the esie tajectoy. The Figue : Piezoactuato use to pouce mico-scale amplitues of oscillations with high fequencies. Figue : Dynamic signal analyze use to get the fequency esponse to obtain the moel of the actuato. 5

Tansfe Function an Time Scaling In this wok, the poles, the zeos, an the gain of the piezoactuato ae foun expeimentally an the expeimental esult fom the fequency esponse shows that the moel is compose of poles an zeos in the fequency ange of to Hz. The poles ae locate in the complex s-plane at p, p p, p p5, p -.8 ± 95.7i -9. ± 9.i ± 5.i The zeos ae locate in the complex s-plane at z, z z, z The constant gain is -59. ± 7.i ± 597.i () () K.879x 7 () The poles an the zeos specify an efine the popeties of the tansfe function, thus escibing the input-output system ynamics. The poles, the zeos, an the gain K all togethe completely povie a full esciption of the system an chaacteize the system ynamics an the esponse. The tansfe function can now be constucte by using the poles, the zeos, as well as the gain, an the esulting tansfe function G ( is foun to be of the fom. G (.88( ) s s 7 +.( ) s +.97( ) s ( ) s ( +.58(.97( ) s + 5.( ) 7.85( ) s +.9( ) s +.95( ) s ) + ) s () The DC gain of the system in B is equal to log (5.x /.95x ) 9. B. The inspection of Eq.() inicates that the system esponse is vey fast with the settling time in millisecons. To avoi numeical poblems with simulations in MATLAB, the time unit nees to be change fom secon to millisecon. To o this, each vaiable, s, in the tansfe function in Eq.( ) is eplace by s,an the new tansfe function G ms ( in tems of millisecon is obtaine as.88s +.97s s + G ms ( 5 s +.s + 5.s + 5.8s 9.7s s + 9.s + 95 (5) The s vaiable in the new tansfe function in Eq.(5) has the unit in aian/millisecon. In MATLAB, the time axis must theefoe be escale to millisecon. The Boe iagam that epesents the fequency esponse of the piezoactuato is plotte by using G ms ( an illustate in Fig.. Figue : Boe iagam of the piezoactuato. In this wok, the sixth-oe moel of the actuato is ecompose into thee moes of seconoe systems by using the paallel state space ealization metho, shown in Fig.7 so that obustness can be investigate by poviing each moe with vaiations in the natual fequency an the amping atio. Figue 7: Diagam fo paallel state space ealization, an appoach to ecoupling the moes of oscillations. 5

The system in Eq.(7) epesents the oiginal system escibe by Eq.(5) an peseves the oiginal system esponse chaacteistics. A secon-oe system possesses a pai of complex conjugate poles an the pole location etemines the natual fequency an the amping atio. Fo a secon-oe system, the location of the poles s, s is elate to the natual fequency ω n an the amping atio by s, s ωn ± iωn (8) Fom the pole locations an Eq.(8) above, the natual fequency ω n an the amping atio fo each moe of vibation can be foun an shown in Table. It is note that the system is stable since all the poles have a negative eal pat, an the moe numbe is etemine by ealizing that the highe moe numbe will have a geate natual fequency.

Late on, many evelopments an contibutions wee mae by means of invesionbase contol, o feefowa contol methos such as the woks by Peng et al., (99), Meckl et al., (99), Piazzi et al., (), Devasia (), Dunne et al., (), Yang et al., () an Boekfah et al., (). The stana invesion contol theoy is base on a known o pe-escibe tajectoy. In this wok, the tajectoies ae pescibe o known a pioi an the system is a minimum phase type an is stable. The invesion-base contol appoach is hence suite an popose fo tacking the esie tajectoies.. State Space Repesentation It is well known that fo a linea time-invaiant system (LTI system), the plant ynamics can be epesente by the state equation of the fom. x ( Ax( + Bu( (9) an the output equation of the fom. y ( Cx( + Du( () Fo a stictly pope system such as the case hee, D is equal to zeo. Now G, ( ms, G, ( ms, an G, ( ms in Eq.(7) can be cast into the state space fom of Eq. (9) an Eq. (), an matices A, B, C, an D ae as follows. 5

Invesion-base Contol Appoach The elative egee,, of the system is efine by the iffeence between the numbe of poles an the numbe of zeos. Fo the moel govene by Eq.(5), the elative egee is the numbe of poles minus the numbe of zeos, o -. The full oe invese can lea to a computational ift ue to numeical eos in the simulation softwae. To avoi the computational numeical poblem, the euce oe invese appoach is to be use to fin the invese input, as in the wok by Boekfah et al., ().

Eq.(8) efines an eo fo each point of time ( an the eo fo each point of time is plotte along with the tajectoy outputs in Fig. 8 an Fig.9. Anothe quantification of tacking pefomance that can be use to evaluate the tacking is the maximum tacking eo E max an the maximum tacking eo is given by E max E( (9) max To evaluate the oveall tacking pefomance fo the entie tacking time of millisecons, the oot Figue 9: Tacking esults fo the sawtooth wave tajectoy. 5.

Thee ae fou cases that ae investigate fo each tajectoy fo the stuy of obustness. Case []: ω n an ae not change an thei numeical values ae shown in Table.The stuy of this case was complete in Section 5. The plots wee shown in Fig.8 fo the tiangle case an in Fig.9 fo the sawtooth case. The tacking eos wee quantifie an shown in Table. This is a efeence case fo the othe thee cases.

The plots ae shown in Fig. fo the tiangle case an in Fig. fo the sawtooth case. Case []: ωn an ae incease by. %. The plots ae shown in Fig. fo the tiangle case an in Fig.5 fo the sawtooth case. Fo all cases, the tacking eos ae quantifie an shown in Table fo the case of the tiangle tajectoy an Table fo the case of the sawtooth tajectoy. Fom Fig. to Fig.5, Table an Table, it is obseve that. E max is still less than % of the peak to peak amplitue of micon if the inceases in the natual fequency an the amping atio ae less than 5% fo the tiangle tajectoy, an E max is still less than % of the peak to peak amplitue of micon if the inceases in the natual fequency an the amping atio ae less than. % fo the sawtooth tajectoy.. E max an RMSE incease as the pecentage of change in the natual fequency an the amping atio is incease.. The tacking is quite sensitive to the change in the natual fequency an the amping atio. Paticulaly, if the inceases by %, the tacking gets wose.. The maximum eo tens to occu at the shap cone of the tajectoies. 5. The actual tajectoy of the sawtooth oscillates obviously if thee ae changes in the natual fequency an the amping atio. Figue : Tacking esults fo the tiangle wave tajectoy in case [].
