The performance of the actuator was characterized by a special home-made experimental setup under electric fields varying from 200 to 1 000 V/mm with the preload varying from-150 to 100 N at room temperature. Results showed that it can output a maximum tensile displacement of 12 μm under unipolar electric field of 1 000 V/mm and preload was independent with generative displacement in the range of testing preload. Additionally, using the actuator, we built a micro loading apparatus, which can be used to test the fracture behavior of brittle materials.展开更多

As the general Stribeck friction model has little related to static friction, it proposes a "torque-zero velocity" switcher, in which a zero-velocity controller is developed to load the static friction and a torque controller the kinetic friction. With the help of mathematical modeling, this article designs a "torque-zero velocity" switching controller and, correspondingly, provides a "dual-threshold judgment" algorithm. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method can be successfully used to carry out the static and kinetic friction simulation with an electro-hydraulic load simulator.展开更多
