Abstract

This article presents a comparison of hysteresis courses in the motion of a two-input actuator (bimorph) and hysteresis in the motion of a single-input actuator (unimorph). The comparison was based on the results of laboratory and numerical experiments, the subject of which was an actuator built of three layers: a carrier layer from a glass-reinforced epoxy laminate and two piezoelectric layers from Macro Fiber Composite. The layers were glued together, and electrodes in the Macro Fiber Composite layers were connected to a system that included an analogue/digital board and a voltage amplifier. The main purpose of this research was to compare the characteristic points of the hysteresis curves of the displacement of the bimorph actuator with the characteristic points of the hysteresis curves of the unimorph actuator. Based on the research results, it was noticed that, in the bimorph, the maximum hysteresis and mean hysteresis values increase faster than the maximum displacement of a beam tip. However, values of characteristic input voltages for hysteresis loops—voltage corresponding to a maximum displacement of the actuator beam tip and voltage corresponding to maximum hysteresis—are almost the same for the bimorph and unimorph. From a practical point of view, it was noticed that the unimorph is a better choice compared to the bimorph in applications in which high changes in frequencies of input voltages appear.
