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.

In this paper, the principle and method of active vibration control of a flexible cantilever beam with PZT actuators was studied. A strategy of active control on the first and second order vibration mode of the flexible cantilever beam are determined and implemented by using the independent modal control. Eexperimental results show that the structural damping of the flexible cantilever beam is improved effectively and excellent effect of vibration suppression is achieved with the control strategy.

In adaptive control applications for noise and vibration, finite ımpulse response (FIR) or ınfinite ımpulse response (IIR) filter structures are used for online adaptation of the controller parameters. IIR filters offer the advantage of representing dynamics of the controller with smaller number of filter parameters than with FIR filters. However, the possibility of instability and convergence to suboptimal solutions are the main drawbacks of such controllers. An IIR filtering-based Steiglitz–McBride (SM) algorithm offers nearly-optimal solutions. However, real-time implementation of the SM algorithm has never been explored and application of the algorithm is limited to numerical studies for active vibration control. Furthermore, the prefiltering procedure of the SM increases the computational complexity of the algorithm in comparison to other IIR filtering-based algorithms. Based on the lack of studies about the SM in the literature, an SM time-domain algorithm for AVC was implemented both numerically and experimentally in this study. A methodology that integrates frequency domain IIR filtering techniques with the classic SM time-domain algorithm is proposed to decrease the computational complexity. Results of the proposed approach are compared with the classical SM algorithm. Both SM and the proposed approach offer multimodal vibration suppression and it is possible to predict the performance of the controller via simulations. The proposed hybrid approach ensures similar vibration suppression performance compared to the classical SM and offers computational advantage as the number of control filter parameters increases.

Satellites are subject to various severe vibration during different phases of flight. The concept of satellite smart adapter is proposed in this study to achieve active vibration control of launch vehicle on satellite. The satellite smart adapter has 18 active struts in which the middle section of each strut is made of piezoelectric stack actuator. Comprehensive conceptual design of the satellite smart adapter is presented to indicate the design parameters, requirements and philosophy applied which are based on the reliability and durability criterions to ensure successful functionality of the proposed system. The coupled electromechanical virtual work equation for the piezoelectric stack actuator in each active strut is drived by applying D'Alembert's principle. Modal analysis is performed to characterize the inherent properties of the smart adapter and extraction of a mathematical model of the system. Active vibration control analysis was conducted using fuzzy logic control with triangular membership functions and acceleration feedback. The control results conclude that the proposed satellite smart adapter configuration which benefits from piezoelectric stack actuator as elements of its 18 active struts has high strength and shows excellent robustness and effectiveness in vibration suppression of launch vehicle on satellite.

The objective of this work was to suppress the vibration of flexible structures by using a distributed cooperative control scheme with decentralized sensors and actuators. For the application of the distributed cooperative control strategy, we first propose the multiple autonomous substructure models for flexible structures. Each autonomous substructure is equipped with its own sensor, actuator, and controller, and they all have computation and communication capabilities. The primary focus of this investigation was to illustrate the use of a distributed cooperative protocol to enable vibration control. Based on the proposed models, we design two novel active vibration control strategies, both of which are implemented in a distributed manner under a communication network. The distributed controllers can effectively suppress the vibration of flexible structures, and a certain degree of interaction cooperation will improve the performance of the vibration suppression. The stability of flexible systems is analyzed by the Lyapunov theory. Finally, numerical examples of a cantilever beam structure demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
