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.

This paper presents a beam structure of a new metamaterial-inspired dynamic vibration attenuation system. The proposed experimental research presents a designed cantilevered zigzag structure that can have natural frequencies orders of magnitude lower than a simple cantilever of the same scale. The proposed vibration attenuation system relies on the masses places on the zigzag structure thus changing the dynamic response of the system. The zigzag plates are integrated into the host structure namely a cantilever beam with openings, forming what is referred to here as a metastructure. Experimental frequency response function results are shown comparing the response of the structure to depending on the natural frequency of the zigzag structures. Results show that the distributed inserts in the system can split the peak response of the structure into two separate peaks rendering the peak frequency a low transmission frequency. These preliminary results provide a view of the potential of research work on active-controlled structures and nonlinear insert-structure interaction for vibration attenuation.

Using nonlinear energy sink absorber (NESA) is a good countermeasure for vibration suppression in wide board frequency region. The nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) are helpful in dynamics analysis for a NESA-attached system. Being a primary structure, a cantilever beam whose modal functions contain hyperbolic functions is surveyed, in case of being attached with NESA and subjected to a harmonic excitation. With the help of Galerkins method and Raushers method, the NNMs are obtained analytically. The comparison of analytical and numerical results indicates a good agreement, which confirms the existence of the nonlinear normal modes.

Abstract This paper presents a new approach of integrating the method of command input shaping and the technique of active vibration suppression for vibration reduction of flexible structures during slew operations. The control object is a flexible composite beam driven by a high torque DC motor with the presence of nonlinearities such as backlash and stick-slip type of friction. Two piezoelectric patches are bonded on the surface of the flexible beam near its cantilevered end and are used as the smart actuator and the smart sensor respectively. In this new approach, the method of command input shaping is used to modify the existing command so that less vibration will be caused by the command itself. To overcome the nonlinearities associated with the DC motor, an extended shaper is designed. The technique of active vibration suppression using smart materials is used to actively control the vibration during and after the slew. With this pair of smart actuator and smart sensor, a strain rate feedback (SRF) controller is designed for active vibration suppression. With the extended Zero Vibration Derivative (ZVD) shaper and the SRF controller, the proposed new approach can effectively reduce the vibration of the flexible beam during slew operations.

Gossamer structures have been a subject of renewed interest for space applications because of their low weights, on-orbit deploying capabilities, and minimal stowage volumes. In this study, vibration suppression of an inflated structure using piezoelectric actuators and sensors has been attempted. These actuators and sensors can be suitably used for gossamer structures since they can conform to curved surfaces and provide distributed actuation and sensing capabilities. Using the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the system (structure, actuators, and sensors), a state-space model is derived. For designing a robust vibration controller, we used a sliding mode technique. The derivations of the sliding model controller and observer are presented in details. Finally, by means of numerical analysis, the method was demonstrated for an inflated torus considering Macro-Fiber Composite (MFC™) as actuators and Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) as sensors. The simulation studies show that the piezoelectric actuators and sensors are suitable for vibration suppression of an inflatable torus. The robustness properties of the controller and observer against the parameter uncertainty and disturbances are also studied.

An adaptive backstepping fuzzy sliding mode control is proposed to approximate the unknown system dynamics for a cantilever beam in this paper. The adaptive backstepping fuzzy sliding mode control is developed by combining the backstepping method with adaptive fuzzy strategy, where backstepping design approach is used to drive the trajectory tracking errors to converge to zero rapidly with global asymptotic stability and fuzzy logic system is designed to approximate the unknown nonlinear function in the adaptive backstepping fuzzy sliding mode control. The proposed backstepping controllers can ensure proper tracking of the reference trajectory, and impose a desired dynamic behavior, giving robustness and insensitivity to parameter variations. Numerical simulation for cantilever beam is investigated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive backstepping fuzzy sliding mode control scheme and demonstrate the satisfactory vibration suppression performance.
