An active reduction of transverse vibration of the triangular plate with P-F-F boundary conditions is considered. The cracked plate is idealized research model as partially clamped on one edge with varying clamped length. The active reduction is realised with PZTs. In the paper, assuming the detached base clamped length, the influence of PZTs distribution on the bending moment and the shearing force at the clamped edge is investigated. To realize the purpose two cases are considered. At the former the PZTs are attached at points in which the curvatures of the surface locally take their maximum (MC sub-areas or quasi-optimal ones). At the latter, the PZTs are somewhat shifted. The plate is excited with harmonic plane acoustic wave. The second mode is considered only.The active vibration reduction study with a finite element method (FEM) is carried out. The numerical calculations show that better results are obtained for MC distribution of the PZTs.

Effectiveness of the active vibration reduction of triangular plate is evaluated by way of the analysis of acoustical field. The active vibration reduction is performed with actuators. The effect is measured by the analysis of the acoustical field both far distance and near one from the plate. As the control parameter, the difference between acoustical pressures is considered. The first pressure and the second one are radiated by the plate without and with the vibration reduction, respectively. The control parameter is calculated for two reduction cases. First case, when actuators are attached at so-called quasi-optimal places and second one, when they are shifted. The numerical calculations show that the acoustical field is sensitive to change of the plate active vibration reduction. It responds to even little changes of the plate vibrations in both active reduction cases mentioned above. So that it is handy indirect control parameter of the active vibration reduction.

The paper concerns an active vibration protection (p-reduction) of the structure. This problem corresponds to the active vibration reduction (a-reduction). The quantity and effectivness of the a-/p-reduction, measured with reduction and effectiveness coefficient respectively, depends on, inter alia, the PZT distribution on the structure subdomains with the largest curvatures (quasi optimal distribution) are considered. The aim of this paper is to determine such interacting forces PZT-structure, assuming QO distribution of PZTs, which maximize the effectiveness of p-reduction. The beam clamped at one end, vibrating separately with first three modes, is chosen as the research object. The interacting forces are searched requiring that the shear force and bending moment at the clamped side are equal to zero. The total p-reduction is achieved for separate modes. Assuming the QO distribution of the PZTs, the best p-effectiveness is achieved. The validation of theoretical considerations is confirmed numerically.
