Abstract—The minimum variance principle is, generally, used for controller’s synthesis. In this paper, we propose another use of this principle to identify the hysteresis property of piezoelectric actuators using the Extended Least Squares identification technique adapted for the ARMAX model.

Index Terms—Piezoelectric actuator, nonlinearity, hysteresis, identification.
