a solution to the problem of identification and control of smart structures is presented in this paper. smart structures with build-in sensors and actuators can actively and adaptively change their physical geometry and properties. as a particular example, a representative dynamic model of a typical fighter vertical tail, identified as the smart fin, is considered. piezoelectric patches, which ...

Active Vibration Control (AVC) is an important problem in structures. One of the ways to tackle this problem is to make the structure smart, adaptive and self-controlling. The objective of active vibration control is to reduce the vibration of a system by automatic modification of the system’s structural response. This paper features the modeling and design of a Periodic Output Feedback (POF) c...

in this paper the active vibration control of a four-story shear frame instrumented with piezoelectric actuators is presented. the piezoelectric actuators are hosted on the columns in two manners and the produced controlling forces by actuators are considered in the equation of motion. the smart structure modeling and control design is carried out using matlab software in state space form. subs...

Improved manufacturing methods have become crucial factors in retaining global competitiveness for a wide range of products. This has led to the development of intelligent, compact and lightweight smart machine tools. A great difficulty is faced in the design of such machine tools due to the fact that the reduction in weight results in low rigidity and poor vibration control characteristics. Th...

The main objective of this article is to present the semi-active vibration control using an electro-rheological fluid embedded sandwich structure for a cantilever beam. ER fluid is a smart material, which cause the suspended particles polarize and connect each other to form chain. The stiffness and damping coefficients of the ER fluid can be changed in 10 micro seconds; therefore, ERF is suitab...

This paper features the proposed modeling and design of a Robust Decentralized Periodic Output Feedback (RDPOF) control technique for the active vibration control of smart flexible multimodel Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beams for a multivariable (MIMO) case by retaining the first 6 vibratory modes. The beam structure is modeled in state space form using the concept of piezoelectric theory, the E...

This paper presents the analysis of vibration control of a laminated composite beam that including magnetostrictive layers. The formulation of problem is presented based on the shear deformation beam theory. For vibration suppression, the velocity feedback control with constant gain distributed is considered. Navier's method is applied to analyze the solution of vibration suppression of laminat...

smart home is composed of several controllers with different plants in control. if each controller works independently, without considering the mutual effect of the others in the control process, the whole system could definitely not converge to an optimum desired status and may not ever reach the demanded condition. the function of different controller system may has conflict in some condition...
