Using the modified PSO method to identify a Scott-Russell mechanism actuated by a piezoelectric element

摘要

This paper mainly proposes an efficient modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) method, to identify a Scott-Russell (SR) magnification mechanism driven by a piezoelectric actuator (PA), in which Bouc-Wen model is employed to describe the hysteresis phenomenon. In system identification, we adopt the MPSO to find parameters of the SR mechanism and the PA. This new algorithm is added with "distance" term in the traditional PSO's fitness function to avoid converging to a local optimum. It is found that the MPSO method can obtain optimal high-quality solution, high calculation efficiency, and its feasibility and effectiveness are demonstrated for the modified IEEE 30-bus system. Finally, the comparisons of numerical simulations and experimental results prove that the MPSO identification method for the SR magnification mechanism is feasible.
