In this paper, the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the previously proposed inverse theory for bimorph piezoelectric actuators are applied into a real time control algorithm of connected piezoelectric actuators. Most control schemes handle an entire system in series, which becomes a drawback when some elements lose their function in a higher redundancy system. On the other hand, the FEM can handle the system in parallel by subdividing it into discrete finite elements, and can cope with flexibility in the change of form and material properties. Noncompatible finite elements are used to express the actuators in the control algorithm, and empirical formulae considering time-dependent charactristics such as creep and residual stain, are also implemented. A real time FEM control system, which consists of a PC, a bipolar DC unit and a signal-distributing controller, is developed. The system is verified by experiments on quasi-static displacement control of connected piezoelectric actuators. The results show the possibility of highly accurate, real time control of the atcuators using the FEM.
