Active Vibration

A finite element formulation for active vibration control of laminated composite plate integrated with active fiber composite (AFC) layer acting as distributed actuator and PVDF layer as sensor is presented in this paper. An eight noded quadratic isoparametric element with five mechanical degrees of freedom and one electrical degree of freedom per node of the element is considered. Newmark time integration method is used to calculate the dynamic response and negative velocity feedback control algorithm is used to control the dynamic response of the laminated composite plate. The effect of piezoelectric fiber orientation in actuator layer on the control of vibration is studied.

Active Vibration

In this paper for the first time, active vibration control of rotating laminated composite cylindrical shells embedded with magnetostrictive layers as actuators by means of first-order shear deformation theory is studied. Vibration equations of the rotating shell are extracted using Hamilton principle considering the effects of initial hoop tension, Coriolis, and centrifugal forces. The vibration differential equations are reduced to algebraic ones through Galerkin method. The validity of the study is proved by the comparison of some results with the literature results. Eventually, the influence of several parameters on damping characteristics and vibration responses are investigated in detail.

In this article, the effect of a sensor-debonding failure on the active vibration control of a smart composite plate is investigated numerically. A mathematical model of the smart structure with a partially debonded piezoelectric sensor is developed using an improved layerwise theory, a higher-order electric-potential field that serves as the displacement field, and the potential variation through the piezoelectric patches. A state-space form that is based on the reduced-order model is employed for the controller design. A control strategy with a constant gain and velocity feedback is used to assess the vibration-control characteristics of the controller in the presence of the sensor-debonding failure. The obtained results show that sensor-debonding failure reduces the sensor-output, control-input signal, and active damping in magnitude that successively degrades the vibration attenuation capability of the active vibration controller. The settling time and relative tip displacement of the controlled structure increase with the increasing length of partial debonding between the piezoelectric sensor and host structure. Furthermore, a damage-sensitive feature along with multidimensional scaling showed excellent results for the detection and quantification of sensor-debonding failure in the active vibration control of smart structures.

Active Vibration

In this paper, active vibration control performance of the smart hull structure with Macro-Fiber Composite (MFC) is evaluated. The governing equations of motion of the hull structure with MFC actuators are derived based on the classical Donnell-Mushtari shell theory. Subsequently, modal characteristics are investigated and compared with the results obtained from finite element analysis and experiment. The governing equations of vibration control system are then established and expressed in the state space form. Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control algorithm is designed in order to effectively and actively control the imposed vibration. The controller is experimentally realized and control performances are evaluated.

Active Vibration

The active vibration control of a rectangular sandwich plate by Positive Position Feedback is experimentally investigated. The thin walled structure, consisting of carbon-epoxy outer skins and a Nomex paper honeycomb core, has completely free boundary conditions. A detailed linear and nonlinear characterization of the vibrations of the plate was previously performed by our research group [1, 2]. Four couples of unidirectional Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) piezoelectric patches are used as strain sensors and actuators. The positioning of the patches is led by a finite element modal analysis, in the perspective of a modal control strategy aimed at the lowest four natural frequencies of the structure. Numerical and experimental verifications estimate the resulting influence of the control hardware on the modal characteristics of the plate. Experimental values are also extracted for the control authority of the piezoelectric patches in the chosen configuration. Single Input – Single Output (SISO) and MultiSISO Positive Position Feedback algorithms are tested and the transfer function parameters of the controller are tuned according to the previously known values of modal damping. A totally experimental procedure to determine the participation matrices, necessary for the Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output configuration, is developed. The resulting algorithm proves successful in selectively reducing the vibration amplitude of the first four vibration modes in the case of a broadband disturbance. PPF is therefore used profitably on laminated composite plates in conjunction with strain transducers, for the control of the low frequency range up to 100 Hz. The relevant tuning procedure moreover, proves straightforward, despite the relatively high number of transducers. The rigid body motions which arise in case of free boundary conditions do not affect the operation of the active control.
