In this paper, an active controller is used to suppress the flutter vibration of a beam. The beam is made of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) and subjected to a follower force and arbitrary lumped mass. The properties of the FGM layer are functionally graded in the thickness direction according to the volume fraction power law distribution. The piezoelectric layers, which are attached to both sides of the beam, are used as sensors and actuators. The beam is fixed from one end and elastically restrained by a spring at the other end. To investigate the effect of the controller on the vibration response of the beam, parameters such as the follower force, spring stiffness, mass ratio and attachment location are included in the analysis based on the generalized function theory and Lagrange–Rayleigh–Ritz technique. The vibration responses of the system are presented in the simulation results, where excellent agreement of the controller scheme is observed.

In this paper, enhancement of the buckling and flutter capacities of a column by the attachment of an arbitrary lumped mass and a pair of piezoelectric layers on the column sides are studied. The column is subjected to a follower force, with one end fixed and the other end elastically restrained by a spring. To investigate the effects of the piezoelectric layers on the column instability capacity and frequency, parameters such as the follower force, spring stiffness, and mass ratio and attachment location are included in the analysis based on the generalized function theory and Lagrange–Rayleigh–Ritz technique. The numerical results reveal that if each of the design parameters of the piezoelectric layers, follower force, spring stiffness, or external mass exceeds a certain critical value, the column will undergo buckling and flutter instabilities. Besides, comparisons are made with available results in the literature and excellent agreement is observed.
