The invention belongs to the technology for testing the performances of intelligent materials and relates to a research on the performance testing method of an intelligent driver. The performance test-bed of the intelligent driver mainly consists of three systems of a skeleton system (comprising a pedestal, a left guide rail, a right guide rail, the bottom board of a displacement sensor, the bottom board of a screw rod, etc), a force application system ( comprising a handle, a trapezium screw rod seat, a trapezium screw rod, a ball joint boot, the bottom board of a ball joint seat, a piezoelectric force actuator, a force measuring bridge, the bottom board of the bridge, a linear bearing, a buttery spring seat, a battery spring, a spoke type force sensor, etc) and a micro-displacement testing system (comprising a displacement sensor sleeve, a displacement sensor sleeve cover, a displacement sensor, etc); wherein, the skeleton system is the basic supporting part of the test-bed and is used for supporting the force application system, the micro-displacement testing system and the tested intelligent driver; the force application system can apply various forces for the detected force intelligent driver for detecting the load characteristics of the tested intelligent driver; the micro-displacement testing system is used for testing the output displacement (under a free state or a load state) of the tested intelligent driver. As the intelligent driver (mainly including a piezoelectric ceramics driver, a giant magnetostriction driver, a shape memorizing alloy, etc) has small displacement, high precision and high frequency response, the common test-bed can not meet the demands for the performance testing of the intelligent driver, the test-bed for performance testing of the intelligent driver is developed so as to meet the demands for the performance testing of various intelligent drivers.
