Download or read book Delayed Feedback Control Schemes for Vibration Suppression and Energy Harvesting with Piezoelectric Resonators written by Ayhan S Kammer and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time delays in feedback control systems have intrigued researchers especially over the past five decades. Some recent studies have discovered that deliberate introduction of delays within certain control laws yields favorable results. This work follows the same philosophy and stems from a pedigree of research where delays are viewed as a tool, and their unique features are exploited. Delayed Resonators use the destabilizing effect of delays to induce resonance in an active vibration absorber, providing complete vibration suppression against time varying tonal disturbances. Inspired by these developments, this work embarks on another exploration on systems that harvest energy from mechanical vibrations. In this research, an analytical framework is developed on generic active mechanical vibration absorbers with delayed feedback control. The interplay between the generated and consumed energy is investigated from a physics viewpoint. It is shown that energy harvesting capacity can be significantly enhanced by introducing a properly designed time-delayed feedback. A critical feature in this work is the use of piezoelectric materials. Considerable research has been devoted to the use of piezoelectric components for both vibration control and energy harvesting. Piezoelectricity provides a bi-directional coupling between mechanical strain and electrical fields. This allows the use of resistive-inductive electrical circuits, which are reconfigured to serve as resonators for mechanical structures. In this work, time-delayed control laws are devised for such systems, primarily to serve two purposes: (a) effective vibration suppression and (b) increased energy harvesting. The essence of the scientific contribution lies at the point that the electrical circuit is actively sensitized to replace a conventional proof-mass absorber (or harvester). This idea could evolve into a design mechanism which has many advantages, such as compactness, reduced weight, and deployment practicality. An experimental setup, consisting of a cantilever beam with piezoelectric patches connected to a shunt circuit, is constructed to demonstrate the core concepts in this effort. Delayed proportional control is applied within the electrical circuit to test the analytical findings. As expected, many practical issues are encountered and addressed during this effort. Favorable experimental results on vibration control and energy harvesting are presented and discussed in detail.

Download or read book Vibration Suppression of Rotating Beams Through Piezoelectric Shunt Circuits written by Preston Carl Powell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analytically investigates the feasibility of passive vibration damping of a rotating beam-like structure, such as a helicopter rotor, through the use of piezoelectric materials. Piezoelectric materials are unique, in that, they produce an electrical charge under the presence of mechanical stresses. Conversely, they generate mechanical stresses under applied electrical loads. When mounted to a structure undergoing bending stresses, such as a cantilever beam, there is an exchange of mechanical and electrical energy between the beam and the piezoelectric material. This electrical energy can be used to power small electronics such as onboard data transmitters. This energy can also be dissipated through electrical shunt circuits rather than being harvested for external use. Electrical components in a shunt circuit (resistors, capacitors, and inductors) release energy from the system as Joule heat. Energy dissipation corresponds to a vibration damping effect in the electromechanical system. Numerous configurations of electrical components and mechanical structures are explored. First, the Rayleigh-Ritz method of assumed modes is adopted for a rotating uniform single degree-of-freedom cantilever beam. Both in-plane (lag) and out-of-plane (flap) bending directions are considered. The beam model is modified to include piezoelectric elements and electrical shunt circuits. Two types of shunt circuits are considered: one with a single resistive element and one with a resistor and inductor in series. Various resistances are used in finding the frequency and impulse responses of the rotating beam with a shunt circuit. The change in damping potential between resistors is evaluated for each electromechanical system. The effects of the number of modes assumed when modeling the beam are also highlighted. Single-mode approximations are found to be helpful in understanding the foundations of the physics in the beam/piezo systems. It is also determined that multiple-mode approximations account for important electromechanical behavior that is neglected by the single-mode formulations. The settling times of the impulse responses are used as the figure of merit to assess energy dissipation in the systems. Successful vibration damping of rotating cantilever beams is predicted through the piezoelectric shunt circuits.

Download or read book Self Sensing Techniques for Piezoelectric Vibration Applications written by Emanuele Grasso and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self sensing techniques allow using a piezoelectric transducer simultaneously as an actuator and as a sensor, as they reconstruct its mechanical sensory information by measuring its electrical quantities, i.e. voltage and charge. In vibration control applications piezoelectric self sensing actuators are highly desirable as they allow precise collocated control. Past research work was mainly based on the linear behavior of piezoelectric materials, thus restricting the operating driving voltages to low values. This work addresses the problem of using a self sensing piezoelectric actuator at its full driving voltage range. A new self sensing technique is proposed, which is based on the hysteretic modeling and identification of the piezoelectric transducer capacitance. After providing a sound presentation on piezoelectricity and vibrating structures, the most common self sensing techniques are discussed and the new self sensing technique is introduced and compared to typical linear methods both theoretically and experimentally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Linear Control Systems is designed as a standard introduction to linear control systems for all those who one way or another deal with control systems. It can be used as a comprehensive up-to-date textbook for a one-semester 3-credit undergraduate course on linear control systems as the first course on this topic at university. This includes the faculties of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, chemical and petroleum engineering, industrial engineering, civil engineering, bio-engineering, economics, mathematics, physics, management and social sciences, etc. The book covers foundations of linear control systems, their raison detre, different types, modelling, representations, computations, stability concepts, tools for time-domain and frequency-domain analysis and synthesis, and fundamental limitations, with an emphasis on frequency-domain methods. Every chapter includes a part on further readings where more advanced topics and pertinent references are introduced for further studies. The presentation is theoretically firm, contemporary, and self-contained. Appendices cover Laplace transform and differential equations, dynamics, MATLAB and SIMULINK, treatise on stability concepts and tools, treatise on Routh-Hurwitz method, random optimization techniques as well as convex and non-convex problems, and sample midterm and endterm exams. The book is divided to the sequel 3 parts plus appendices. PART I: In this part of the book, chapters 1-5, we present foundations of linear control systems. This includes: the introduction to control systems, their raison detre, their different types, modelling of control systems, different methods for their representation and fundamental computations, basic stability concepts and tools for both analysis and design, basic time domain analysis and design details, and the root locus as a stability analysis and synthesis tool. PART II: In this part of the book, Chapters 6-9, we present what is generally referred to as the frequency domain methods. This refers to the experiment of applying a sinusoidal input to the system and studying its output. There are basically three different methods for representation and studying of the data of the aforementioned frequency response experiment: these are the Nyquist plot, the Bode diagram, and the Krohn-Manger-Nichols chart. We study these methods in details. We learn that the output is also a sinusoid with the same frequency but generally with different phase and magnitude. By dividing the output by the input we obtain the so-called sinusoidal or frequency transfer function of the system which is the same as the transfer function when the Laplace variable s is substituted with . Finally we use the Bode diagram for the design process. PART III: In this part, Chapter 10, we introduce some miscellaneous advanced topics under the theme fundamental limitations which should be included in this undergraduate course at least in an introductory level. We make bridges between some seemingly disparate aspects of a control system and theoretically complement the previously studied subjects. Appendices: The book contains seven appendices. Appendix A is on the Laplace transform and differential equations. Appendix B is an introduction to dynamics. Appendix C is an introduction to MATLAB, including SIMULINK. Appendix D is a survey on stability concepts and tools. A glossary and road map of the available stability concepts and tests is provided which is missing even in the research literature. Appendix E is a survey on the Routh-Hurwitz method, also missing in the literature. Appendix F is an introduction to random optimization techniques and convex and non-convex problems. Finally, appendix G presents sample midterm and endterm exams, which are class-tested several times.
