An Autonomous Piezoelectric Shunt Damping System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Passive shunt damping involves the connection of an electrical shunt network to a structurally attached piezoelectric transducer. In recent years, a large body of research has focused on the design and implementation of shunt circuits capable of significantly reducing structural vibration. This paper introduces an efficient, light weight, and small-in-size technique for implementing piezoelectric shunt damping circuits. A MOSFET half bridge is used together with a signal processor to synthesize the terminal impedance of a piezoelectric shunt damping circuit. Along with experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of switched-mode shunt implementation, we discuss the design of a device aimed at bridging the gap between research in this area and practical application.

متن کاملActive and Passive Damping based on Piezoelectric Elements
Piezoelectric elements are widely used for damping micro-vibrations in mechanical structures. Active damping can be realised robustly by means of collocated actuator-sensor-pairs, controlled so as to extract vibration energy. Excellent damping performance is possible as long as sufficient controllability is assured. Passive damping based on a single piezoelectric element can be realised by the ...

متن کاملThe Effect of Artificially Reducing the Size of Inductors in Piezoelectric Shunt Damping Circuits
Connecting a passive electrical network to a structurally attached piezoelectric transducer is referred to as passive shunt damping. Current shunt circuit designs, e.g. a single mode L¡R network, typically require large inductance values of up to thousands of Henries. In practice, discrete inductors are limited in size to around 1 H: By placing an additional capacitance across the terminals of ...
