Mathematical modeling and control of a piezoelectric cellular actuator exhibiting quantization and flexibility

This thesis presents mathematical modeling and control techniques that can be used to predict and specify performance of biologically inspired actuation systems called cellular actuators. Cellular actuators are modular units designed to be connected in bundles in manner similar to human muscle fiber...
