Numerical Modeling and Control of Rotating Plate with Coupled Self-Sensing and Frequency-Dependent Active Constrained Layer Damping

الملخص EN

This work proposes a coupled finite element model for actively controlled constrained layer damped (CLD) rotating plate with self-sensing technique and frequency-dependent material property in both the time and frequency domain analyses.

Constrained layer damping with viscoelastic material can effectively reduce the vibration in rotating structures.

However, most existing research models use complex modulus approach to model the viscoelastic material, but it limits to frequency domain analysis and the frequency dependency of the viscoelastic material is not well-included as well.

It is meaningful use of the anelastic displacement fields (ADFs) that is done in order to include the frequency dependency of the material for both the time and frequency domains.

Also, unlike previous ones, all types of damping are taken into account by this finite element model.

Thus, in this work, a single layer finite element is adopted to model a three-layer active constrained layer damped rotating plate in which the constraining layer is made of piezoelectric material to work as both the self-sensing sensor and actuator.

This newly proposed finite element model is validated, and then, as shown in numerical studies, this proposed approach can achieve effective vibration reduction in both the frequency and time domains.
