Active Vibration Suppression of Smart Structures Using Piezoelectric Shear Actuators

Active Vibration Control of Piezoelectric Intelligent Structures

The study of the applications of piezoelectric materials in the active vibration control of flexible structures has been ongoing for more than a decade. Based on the Linear Quadratic Gauss (LQG) optimal control method, the paper introduces an effective procedure to suppress the vibration of flexible structures with the sensors/actuators are symmetrically collocated on both sides of the same pos...

Title: Active Vibration Suppression of Smart Structures Using Piezoelectric Shear Actuators

Current active vibration suppression systems usually consist of piezoelectric extension actuators bonded to the surface or embedded within the structure. The use of piezoelectric shear actuators/sensors has been proposed as an alternative, where the electric field is applied perpendicular to the direction of polarization to cause shear deformation of the material. We present an exact analysis a...

Piezoelectric-based Vibration Control in Composite Structures

This paper relates to vibration control using passive electrical shunt circuits. However, the vibration shunt control efficiency relies on the optimization of the vibration energy transfer between a structure and a Lead-Zirconate-Titanate (PZT) piezoelectric ceramic material. The problem is further complicated by the material composition of the substrate or host material the PZT is coupled to. ...

an analytical model for free vibration analysis of smart annular fgm plates integrated with piezoelectric layers

in this paper, a nonlinear free vibration analysis of thin annular functionally graded (fg) plate integrated with two uniformly distributed actuator layers made of piezoelectric (pzt4) material on the top and bottom surfaces of the annular fg plate is presented based on kirchhoff plate theory. the material properties of the fgm core plate are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction acco...
