The NA is commonly driven by flexure-based piezoelectric actuators subject to a limited range which presents large oscillations in the presence of output saturation. In order to avoid these oscillations, a non-linear smooth switching function that limits the actuation of the NA to only track references within its range is proposed. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which is able to reduce oscillations and energy consumption without compromising settling time performance.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:29:37 AEDT ]]> A switching controller for piezoelectric microactuators in dual-stage actuator hard disk drives https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25611 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:13 AEDT ]]>
