abstract

  • Experimental and anecdotal evidences have shown that state-switched control strategies for piezoelectric actuators can be advantageous. However, most discussions of the stability of these systems has relied on heuristic, or physically motivated, arguments. In this paper, we show that recent open-circuit/short-circuit state-switching control laws can be viewed as hybrid dynamical systems of Witsenhausen type. Within this framework, the closed-loop stability of OC/SC switching is rigorously established using the method of multiple Lyapunov functions.
