The Comparative Study of Vibration Control of Flexible Structure Using Smart Materials

الملخص EN

Considerable attention has been devoted to active vibration control using intelligent materials as PZT actuators.

This paper presents results on active control schemes for vibration suppression of flexible steel cantilever beam with bonded piezoelectric actuators.

The PZT patches are surface bonded near the fixed end of flexible steel cantilever beam.

The dynamic model of the flexible steel cantilever beam is derived.

Active vibration control methods: optimal PID control, strain rate feedback control (SRF), and positive position feedback control (PPF) are investigated and implemented using xPC Target real-time system.

Experimental results demonstrate that the SRF and PPF controls have better performance in suppressing the vibration of cantilever steel beam than the optimal PID control.
