This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimum placement of multiple traditional piezoceramic actuators is determined for active structural acoustic control of flat panels. The structural acoustic response is determined using acoustic radiation filters and structural surface vibration characteristics. Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control is utilized to determine the optimum state feedback gain for active structural acoustic control. The optimum actuator location is determined by minimizing the structural acoustic radiated noise using a modified genetic algorithm. Experimental tests are conducted and compared to analytical results. Anisotropic piezoceramic actuators exhibits enhanced performance when compared to traditional isotropic piezoceramic actuators. As a result of the inherent isotropy, these advanced actuators develop strain along the principal material axis. The orientation of anisotropic actuators is investigated on the effect of structural vibration and acoustic control of curved and flat panels. A fully coupled shallow shell finite element formulation is developed to include anisotropic piezoceramic actuators for shell structures. Bevan, Jeffrey S. and Turner, Travis L.

This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lamb waves are guided waves that propagate in thin plate or shell structures. There has been a clear increase of interest in using Lamb waves for identifying structural damage, entailing intensive research and development in this field over the past two decades. Now on the verge of maturity for diverse engineering applications, this emerging technique serves as an encouraging candidate for facilitating continuous and automated surveillance of the integrity of engineering structures in a cost-effective manner. In comparison with conventional nondestructive evaluation techniques such as ultrasonic scanning and radiography which have been well developed over half a century, damage identification using Lamb waves is in a stage of burgeoning development, presenting a number of technical challenges in application that need to be addressed and circumvented. It is these two aspects that have encouraged us to write this book, with the intention of consolidating the knowledge and know-how in the field of Lamb-wave-based damage identification, and of promoting widespread attention to mature application of this technique in the practical engineering sphere. This book provides a comprehensive description of key facets of damage identification technique using Lamb waves, based on the authors’ knowledge, comprehension and experience, ranging from fundamental theory through case studies to engineering applications.

Download or read book Spatial Control Of Vibration Theory And Experiments written by S O Reza Moheimani and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2003-12-04 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vibration is a natural phenomenon that occurs in a variety of engineering systems. In many circumstances, vibration greatly affects the nature of engineering design as it often dictates limiting factors in the performance of the system. The conventional treatment is to redesign the system or to use passive damping. The former could be a costly exercise, while the latter is only effective at higher frequencies. Active control techniques have emerged as viable technologies to fill this low-frequency gap. This book is concerned with the study of feedback controllers for vibration control of flexible structures, with a view to minimizing vibration over the entire body of the structure.The book introduces a variety of flexible structures such as beams, strings, and plates with specific boundary conditions, and explains in detail how a spatially distributed model of such systems can be obtained. It addresses the problems of model reduction and model correction for spatially distributed systems of high orders, and goes on to extend robust control techniques such as H-infinity and H2 control design methodologies to spatially distributed systems arising in active vibration control problems. It also addresses other important topics, such as actuator and sensor placement for flexible systems, and system identification for flexible structures with irregular boundary conditions. The text contains numerous examples, and experimental results obtained from laboratory-level apparatus, with details of how similar test beds may be built.

Download or read book Performance and Optimal Placement of Piezoceramic Actuators for Shape Control of a Cantilever Beam written by Kirk E. Treanor and published by . This book was released on 1996-06-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shape control of spaceborne antennas can provide the ability to correct for effects such as thermal distortion and manufacturing errors as well as control the shape of an antenna's radiated beam. This thesis examines the performance of piezoceramic actuators in producing static deformation of a cantilever beam and analyzes the optimal placement of actuators to best approximate a desired deformation profile. Predictions of actuator effectiveness at producing curvature are developed using an Euler-Bernoulli model. An algorithm to determine the optimal locations and input voltages for a fixed set of actuators to achieve a desired deformation profile of a cantilever beam using embedded Nelder and Mead simplex search routines is presented and evaluated for two shape functions and various combinations of actuators. Experimental measurements show that the Euler-Bernoulli model provides a reasonable prediction of actuator performance at low input voltage but does not account for nonlinear behavior of the piezoceramic and the effects of hysteresis and transverse stresses. Further experiments demonstrate the ability of four piezoceramic actuators to produce an approximation of a parabolic deformation profile of a cantilever beam and illustrate the importance of considering these effects in determining the required actuator input voltages.
