Continuum modelling of piezoelectromechanical truss beams: an application to vibration damping
نویسندگان
چکیده
We call piezoelectromechanical (PEM) truss beam a truss modular beam coupled with a transmission electrical line when the coupling is obtained by piezoelectric actuators which act as bars in the module and as capacitances in the electrical line. The truss module length is assumed negligible with respect to the considered wave lengths. The transmission electrical line is assumed continuously distributed along the truss beam. Applying the method of virtual power as expounded in [2] we formulate a continuum model for PEM truss beams and we prove that there exists a critical value for the transmission electrical impedance in the neighborhood of which the electromechanical modal coupling is maximum and the possible electrical dissipation of mechanical energy is relevant.

Modelling Structural Dynamics for Control
A critical study of the process necessary to create structural control models is made. Exact closed-form solutions of beams and truss-beams continuous models open and closed loop dynamics are given, and used to evaluate the low frequency accuracy of hand prefined finite element models. For trusses condensed models and refined joint behavior are considered, using the equivalent continuum approac...

Recently, a large amount of studies have been related to nonlinear systems with multi-degrees of freedom as well as continuous systems. The purpose of this paper is to optimize passive vibration absorbers in linear and nonlinear states for an Euler-Bernoulli beam with a nonlinear vibratory behavior under concentrated moving load. The goal parameter in the optimization is maximum deflection of t...

Bending, buckling and vibration behaviors of nonlocal Timoshenko beams are investigated in this research using a variational approach. At first, the governing equations of the nonlocal Timoshenko beams are obtained, and then the weak form of these equations is outlined in this paper. The Ritz technique is selected to investigate the behavior of nonlocal beams with arbitrary boundary conditions ...

In this paper, an efficient technique is presented for static analysis of tall buildings with combined tube-in-tube and outrigger-belt truss system while considering shear lag effects. In the process of replacing the discrete structure with an elastically equivalent continuous one, the structure is modeled as two parallel cantilevered flexural-shear beams that are constrained at the outrigger-b...
متن کاملA Semi-analytical Solution for Flexural Vibration of Micro Beams Based on the Strain Gradient Theory
In this paper, the flexural free vibrations of three dimensional micro beams are investigated based on strain gradient theory. The most general form of the strain gradient theory which contains five higher-order material constants has been applied to the micro beam to take the small-scale effects into account. Having considered the Euler-Bernoulli beam model, governing equations of motion are w...
