Multiple and altering tonal vibrations are common problem in flexible structures, such as lightweight means of transportation, induced by engine speed/rotor rotations, and their harmonics. A Semi-Active piezoelectric Tuned Mass Damper (SATMD) is developed for the suppression of these excitations, which consists of a resonant mass and a combined springpiezoelectric device connected to an external resistive-inductive electric circuit. The proposed anti-vibration device introduces two anti-resonances to the host structure, which can be manipulated through changes in the shunt impedance, to highly suppress two dominating excitation frequencies or adjust the device to potential frequency fluctuations and maintain its performance. The vibration suppression capabilities of the SATMD are numerically and experimentally demonstrated on a down-scaled simplified airframe model. The anti-vibration device is experimentally proven to effectively adjust its performance to tonal frequency alterations, or to suppress two tonal excitations in distant frequency ranges, even in lower frequency vicinity than the initially tuned auxiliary mass. Finally, one tonal frequency and its 1 st high amplitude harmonic are experimentally shown to be highly suppressed, using a SATMD which adds negligible mass to the structure.

“…There exist several studies on piezoelectric material for vibration control (Aramaki et al, 2019; Chandiramani, 2010; Chatziathanasiou et al, 2022; Dhote et al, 2015; Kerboua et al, 2015; Li et al, 2012; Sharma et al, 2020) and wave propagation (spatial attenuation) (Banerjee and Bera, 2022), however, a comprehensive study on metadamping using shunted piezoelectric transducer is not reported in the literature so far. Hence, the metadamping phenomenon in an acoustic metamaterial equipped with a piezoelectric transducer is investigated in this study.…”

The phenomena of damping enhancement and higher decay coefficient are obtained by introducing a piezoelectric transducer at the resonating unit of the metamaterial. The difference between the damping ratio of the piezo-transducer controlled and that of the equivalent uncontrolled metamaterial is termed metadamping, and thereby it is used to indicate the enhancement of energy dissipation characteristics. The optimum inductance and resistance of the impregnated piezo-transducer are computed to minimize the response of the outer mass of a unit cell by implementing [Formula: see text] optimization technique. A parametric study is conducted after applying Bloch’s theorem, and the enhancement of damping over the complete Brillouin zone is determined to get a comprehension of the metadamping phenomenon. Impregnation of the piezo-transducer at the resonating unit not only enhances the normalized bandwidth more than twice but also significantly increases the damping emergence when compared to the equivalent uncontrolled metamaterial. This envisioned the promise of high-stiff, high-damped metamaterial for enhanced transient vibration control as well as wider attenuation bandgap.

Three-dimensional printing by material extrusion enables the production of fully functional dynamic piezoelectric sensors in a single process. Because the complete product is finished without additional processes or assembly steps, single-process manufacturing opens up new possibilities in the field of smart dynamic structures. However, due to material limitations, the 3D-printed piezoelectric sensors contain electrodes with significantly higher electrical resistance than classical piezoelectric sensors. The continuous distribution of the capacitance of the piezoelectric layer and the resistance of the electrodes results in low-pass filtering of the collected charge. Consequently, the usable frequency range of 3D-printed piezoelectric sensors is limited not only by the structural properties but also by the electrical properties. This research introduces an analytical model for determining the usable frequency range of a 3D-printed piezoelectric sensor with resistive electrodes. The model was used to determine the low-pass cutoff frequency and thus the usable frequency range of the 3D-printed piezoelectric sensor. The low-pass electrical cutoff frequency of the 3D-printed piezoelectric sensor was also experimentally investigated and good agreement was found with the analytical model. Based on this research, it is possible to design the electrical and dynamic characteristics of 3D-printed piezoelectric sensors. This research opens new possibilities for the design of future intelligent dynamic systems 3D printed in a single process.
