The Active Control of Vibration and Power Flow in the Crossing-Shaped Plate Structure

Abstract

The power flow active control and vibration energy propagation of crossing-shaped plate with simply support boundary conditions using piezoelectric patch as actuators are studied. The combination of modal method and traveling wave method is employed to obtain the accurate analytical solution. The feedforward filtered-X least mean square (LMS) algorithm is used to obtain the optimal control moment for minimizing the power flow propagation in the plate structures. The results have shown that the vibration energy and power flow can be well controlled by the piezoelectric actuators. The different locations of piezoelectric actuators can introduce obvious fluctuation on the control results in the lower frequency range, and the fluctuation becomes more obvious in the higher frequency range.
