A review of active vibration and noise suppression of plate-like structures with piezoelectric transducers

Abstract

Structural vibrations are the major causes of noise problems, passenger discomforts, and mechanical failures in aerospace, automotive, and marine systems, which are mainly composed of lightweight and flexible plate-like structures. In order to reduce structural vibrations and noise radiations of lightweight structures, passive and active treatments have been used and investigated over the last three decades. Our aim of this article is to review current state-of-the-art of active vibration and noise suppression systems for plate and plate-like structures with various kinds of boundary conditions. The reviewed articles use numerical methods and experimental tools to study different aspects of controller architectures. In particular, the focus is placed on the active vibration and noise control systems utilizing piezoelectric patches as sensors and actuators since their popularity in vibration-based applications has increased significantly during the last two decades. We first classify the controllers according to their architectures, then compare their performance in vibration and noise attenuation, and finally provide suggestions for further progress. The categorization of the information regarding the controller strategies and sensor/actuator configurations for different host structures can be used by the controller designers as a starting point for their specific configuration.

Active multimode vibration control of a smart structure using macro fiber composite actuators based on ANFIS

“…The prevailing vibration level, used as the basis for calculating the vibration signal rate of change, could therefore be determined. The vibration rate of change can be defined as follows in equation (1).…”

Enhancement of hard disk drive manipulator using piezoelectric actuator mechanisms

“…There are many approaches by numerical methods and experimental tools developed to describe the hysteresis nonlinearity phenomena within PEAs [15,22,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. In their review, Aridogan and Basdogan [32] and Zuo and Wong [33] focused on the active vibration and noise control systems utilizing piezoelectric patches as sensors and actuators, while Peng and Chen [34] reviewed the various methods for modeling linear and nonlinear behaviors of PEAs. The general equation describing the mass-spring-damper system with an applied force is:…”

Random Vibration Suppression of a Truss Core Sandwich Panel Using Independent Modal Resonant Shunt and Modal Criterion

“…The benefit of this character is that morphing of the solid face sheet can be realized by replacing some rods in the back-plane planar truss with in-plane tension-compression actuators. While for panel-like structures, constrained layer damping [17] is usually used for passive damping and a piezoelectric patch [18] is often utilized for active damping, the character of a Kagome structure can be exploited for passive/active controls by replacing a small portion of the rods in the planar Kagome truss with in-plane dampers [19] or actuators [20], which will not destroy the planeness of the face sheet. In this study, the rods in the planar truss are replaced by piezoelectric transducers to convert the mechanical energy to electric energy, which is dissipated by the resistance.…”
