Abstract:This study proposes an active vibration control technique for pipe structures using dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). Vibrations in pipe structures must be eliminated to improve their mechanical reliability, and active vibration control techniques can be applied for effective vibration suppression. Soft actuators, which can completely fit pipe structures with complex-shaped surfaces, are required to transfer their vibration reduction forces to the target. DEA is suitable for this kind of target structure … Show more
