A Physics-Based Hybrid Dynamical Model of Hysteresis in Polycrystalline Shape Memory Alloy Wire Transducers
M. Mandolino, D. Scholtes, F. Ferrante +1
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a class of smart materials that exhibit a macroscopic contraction of up to 5% when heated via an electric current. This effect can be exploited for t…
Multi-Objective Model-Predictive Control for Dielectric Elastomer Wave Harvesters
Matthias K. Hoffmann, Lennart Heib, Gianluca Rizzello +2
This contribution deals with multi-objective model-predictive control (MPC) of a wave energy converter (WEC) device concept, which can harvest energy from sea waves using a dielect…
Robust interaction control of a dielectric elastomer actuator with variable stiffness
Gianluca Rizzello, Francesco Ferrante, David Naso +1
This paper presents an interaction control algorithm for a dielectric elastomer membrane actuator. The proposed method permits efficient exploitation of the controllable stiffness…
A Hybrid Dynamical Modeling Framework for Shape Memory Alloy Wire Actuated Structures
Michele A. Mandolino, Francesco Ferrante, Gianluca Rizzello
In this paper, a hybrid model for single-crystal Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire actuators is presented. The result is based on a mathematical reformulation of the Müller-Achenbach-S…
