In light of past research in this field, this paper intends to discuss some innovative approaches in vibration control of smart structures, particularly in the case of structures with embedded piezoelectric materials. In this work, we review the principal problems in mechanical engineering that the structural control engineer has to address when designing robust control laws: structural modeling techniques, uncertainty modeling, and robustness validation under stochastic excitation. Control laws are desirable for systems where guaranteed stability or performance is required despite the presence of multiple sources of uncertainty.

Robust vibration control of piezoelectric actuated smart structures has attracted substantial interest in recent years. Such control laws are desirable for systems where guaranteed stability or performance is required despite the presence of multiple sources of uncertainty. In this work, we review the principal problems that the structural control engineer has to address when designing robust control laws: structural modeling techniques, uncertainty modeling, controller order reduction, and robustness validation. A comprehensive literature review is presented and the different techniques employed are discussed in detail in a tutorial manner for the case of a piezoelectric smart plate, with the aim of providing a comprehensive and unitary methodology for designing and validating robust H∞ controllers for active structures.

Abstract In this paper we study the closed loop power flow characteristics between a controlled piezoelectric actuator and a current controlled drive amplifier for two different structural control laws. We determine the real and reactive power flow through the structure and actuator into the amplifier when the structure is excited with a sinusoidal disturbance force under both control laws. The dependence of the real and reactive components of the power on the material properties of the actuator, structure and the configuration of the controller is presented. These real and reactive power estimates are useful for sizing the drive amplifier for the actuator.

Objective Control

This article studies the problem of designing robust control laws to achieve multiple performance objectives for linear uncertain systems. Specifically, in this study we have selected one of the control objectives to be a closed-loop pole placement in specific regions of the left-half complex plane. As such, a guaranteed cost based multi-objective control approach is proposed and compared with the H_2/H_∞control by means of an application example

Abstract It has been shown that piezoelectric materials can be used as passive electromechanical vibration absorbers when shunted by electrical networks. Semi-active piezoelectric absorbers have also been proposed for suppressing harmonic excitations with varying frequency. However, these semi-active devices have limitations that restrict their applications. The design presented here is a high performance active-passive alternative to semi-active absorbers that uses a combination of a passive electrical circuit and active control actions. The active control consists of three parts: an adaptive inductor tuning action, a negative resistance action, and a coupling enhancement action. A formulation for the optimal tuning of the piezoelectric absorber inductance on a multiple degree of freedom (MDOF) structure is derived. The effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated experimentally on a system under a variable frequency excitation. Extensive parameter studies are also carried out to show that the proposed design offers superior performance and efficiency compared to other state-of-the-art control methods.

Uncertainty Models

Stabilization of a plant in case of uncertainty parameters and unmodeled dynamics are the main problems considered in this paper. A robust control of motion of a rigid shaft that is supported by magnetic bearings was used as an example. The dynamics of the active magnetic suspension system is characterized by instability and uncertainty. The uncertainty is modeled as an additive and multiplicative. Robust controller H∞ was designed for the defined plant with the uncertainty models. The robust controller assures high quality of control despite the uncertainty models. Robust control of vibrations of a rigid rotor is confirmed by experimental studies. A digital signal processor is used to execute the control algorithm in real time.
