Abstract: Changes in direction of applied voltage can reset the creep of piezoelectric actuators (PZTs); however, the relationship between creep suppression and times or amplitude of the directional change in voltage remains unknown. Firstly, the effect of the directional times is investigated experimentally by applied sine waves with different frequencies and amplitudes. Results show that directional times slightly affect creep rate, but a appropriate amplitude can drive the creep rate to zero. When there is only once directional change, the relaxation voltage evolves into a bi-directional small amplitude spike voltage (BSASV). BSASV is used to investigate the validity of creep suppression and hysteresis further by different durations and numbers of spike applied. These results can be used to guide the optimal direction of nonlinear suppression.
