A piezoelectric tube is shown to have linear, but non-minimum phase dynamics. The main impediment to the actuation of this piezoelectric tube is the presence of a low-frequency resonant mode which causes mechanical vibrations. A physical-model-based control method is extended to non-minimum phase systems in general and successfully applied to damp the resonant mode; leading to a vibration-free actuation of the piezoelectric tube.
