The combined effects of passive and active control on the vibration control of a com posite laminated plate with piezoelectric sensors/actuators are investigated. Finite element formula tion and modal analysis are presented. Classical laminated plate theory with the induced strain ac tuation and Hamilton's principle are used to formulate the equation of motion of the system. The total charge developed on the sensor layer is calculated from the direct piezoelectric equation. The equa tions of motion and the total charge are discretized with 4-node, 12-degree of freedom quadrilateral plate bending elements. The stiffness and damping property changes of composite structures by varying the layer angles are used as a passive control method. Piezoelectric sensors/actuators with negative velocity feedback control are used as an active control method. By numerical simulation, the effects of stiffness and damping property changes of composite structures and the effects of sen sor/actuator division on the response of the structure and the performance of the vibration control are investigated. Since active control and passive control affect each other, the active control and the passive control should be considered simultaneously in designing the efficient adaptive structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
