Popis: To improve the yield and repeatability of the burnout process of multilayer ceramic actuators (MCAs), an intelligent processing of materials (IPM-based) control system has been developed for the manufacture of MCAs. IPM involves the active (ultimately adaptive) control of a material process using empirical or analytical models and in situ sensing of critical process states (part features and process parameters) to modify the processing conditions in real time to achieve predefined product goals. Thus, the three enabling technologies for the IPM burnout control system are process modeling, in situ sensing and intelligent control. This paper presents the design of an IPM-based control strategy for the burnout process of MCAs.
