IdPiezo: An Interactive Tool for Piezoelectric Actuator Parameters Identification and control

This paper introduces a new interactive tool (IdPiezo) dedicated to the identification and control of piezoelectric actuators. The hysteresis model parameters are identified using metaheuristic algorithms. This tool proposes three metaheuristic algorithms: real-coded genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization and ant-colony optimization in real domain. Three well-known hysteresis models and considered: Coleman-Hodgdon, LuGre and Prandtl-Ishlinskii. The control part of the tool gives users the option of choosing one of the control strategies available, enter its parameters and simulate the closed-loop system. IdPiezo was developed using MATLAB software but the executable version is MATLAB-free.
