Abstract This paper presents a numerical study in which active and hybrid vibration confinement is compared with a conventional active vibration control method. Vibration confinement is a vibration control technique that is based on reshaping structural modes to produce “quiet areas” in a structure as opposed to adding damping as in conventional active or passive methods. In this paper, active and hybrid confinement is achieved in a flexible beam with two pairs of piezoelectric actuators and sensors and with two vibration absorbers. For comparison purposes, active damping is achieved also with two pairs of piezoelectric actuators and sensors using direct velocity feedback. The results show that both approaches are effective in controlling vibrations in the targeted area of the beam, with direct velocity feedback being slightly more cost effective in terms of required power. When combined with passive confinement, however, each method is improved with a significant reduction in required power.

The active vibration control of the flexible cantilever beam with PZT actuators was studied in this paper, and the principle and the method of the active vibration control were analyzed. First, using the balanced reduction method to reduce the model was carried out; the reduced model would be controlled. The placement of the piezoelectric actuators was utmost important, the optimization arrangement of the piezoelectric actuators was studied in this paper basing on the modal influential matrix of the piezoelectric actuators in order to make it to maximize its effectiveness to realize active control. Next step the LQG/LTR method is used to control the structure, then the LQR method was adopted to control the beam, and the two methods were compared. The results show that the LQG/LTR method to control the beam will realize effective control if only the treatment is adequate, when the acoustic noise and Interference were added to the system.
