Recent Advances in Sensing and Control of Flexible Structures Via Piezoelectric Materials Technology

Abstract: Due to their special characteristics, piezoelectric materials can be used in distributed behavior sensing and control of flexible structures. These materials are usually incorporated with the precision sensing and control of highly adaptive intelligent structures. Many theoretical, numerical, and experimental research activities treating piezoelectricity in sensing and control of various flexible structures have been carried out over the last decade. This survey article aims at collecting the recent research s… Show more

“…These active sandwich structures can be applied into a variety of extended mechanical systems such as plates, panels, beams and bars or structures and there are countless engineering applications for these materials with controllable structural behavior, which include the control of vibrations and sound propagation [95]. Other type of active sandwhich structure consists of a viscoelastic damping solid layer constrained by a piezoelectric film [97,98], whose damping effect can be controlled by varying the voltage applied to the film. This latter approach may be somewhat effective, but it shows various shortcomings related with the performance of the piezoelectric ceramic materials, which maybe either inapplicable because of their weight, their brittleness or the fact that large, thin sections are difficult to fabricate.…”

“…Although the piezoelectricity has a long history, its application to system control has happened only in recent years, practically in the late 1980s and in the 1990s. The past decade has witnessed a remarkable increase in the research of piezoelectricity pertaining to activities in system sensing and control, 2;3 The recent review papers by Crawley, 4 Newnham, 5 and Sunar and Rao 6 report the increasing trend of research in piezoelectrical sensing and actuation. Piezoelectricpolymerpolyvinylidene uoride (PVDF) and piezoceramics such as barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) are some piezoelectricmaterials used in various applications.…”
