Research on Hysteresis of Piezoceramic Actuator Based on the Duhem Model by Miaolei Zhou, Jingyuan Wang

“…The paper used the polynomial function to approach the piecewise continuous function and f(v) and g(v) in the Duhem model, adopted recursive least squares algorithm and gradient correction algorithm to identify parameter α, polynomial coefficients of f and g in the Duhem model, and established the nonlinear parametric model of the piezoceramic actuator. Contrasting the simulation results of recursive least squares algorithm and gradient correction algorithm, the modeling accuracy is 0.24% when adopting the recursive least squares algorithm, and the modeling accuracy is 0.11% when adopting the gradient correction method. …”
