The piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (PVEH) based on the variable cross-section cantilever beam (VCSCB) structure has the advantages of uniform axial strain distribution and high output power density, so it has become a research hotspot of the PVEH. However, its electromechanical model needs to be further studied. In this paper, the bidirectional coupled distributed parameter electromechanical model of the MEMS VCSCB based PVEH is constructed, analytically solved, and verified, which laid an important theoretical foundation for structural design and optimization, performance improvement, and output prediction of the PVEH. Based on the constructed model, the output performances of five kinds of VCSCB based PVEHs with different cross-sectional shapes were compared and analyzed. The results show that the PVEH with the concave quadratic beam shape has the best output due to the uniform surface stress distribution. Additionally, the influence of the main structural parameters of the MEMS trapezoidal cantilever beam (TCB) based PVEH on the output performance of the device is theoretically analyzed. Finally, a prototype of the Aluminum Nitride (AlN) TCB based PVEH is designed and developed. The peak open-circuit voltage and normalized power density of the device can reach 5.64 V and 742 μW/cm3/g2, which is in good agreement with the theoretical model value. The prototype has wide application prospects in the power supply of the wireless sensor network node such as the structural health monitoring system and the Internet of Things.

When an electrical field is applied to a piezoelectric material, the material becomes mechanically strained. If this material is then bonded to a structure, this strain has an accompanying stress, and this can be used to introduce control forces into the structure. The paper considers this method of actuation by experimentally evaluating the use of piezoelectric plates for the purposes of controlling free and forced vibration in a cantilever beam. The control provided by measurements based on acceleration and strain rate is evaluated.

A new hybrid damper is proposed to suppress the vibration of a flexible cantilever beam at its free end. It consists of an active piezoelectric-type servo-damper and a passive dampled vibration absorber to effectively suppress both the small and large amplitude vibrations. The H∞ control scheme is successfully applied to a laboratory test rig equipped with the hybrid damper when its overhung length is continually changed.

In this paper, the crack identification using smart technique (by several hybrid membership functions in a fuzzy controller) has been developed for inverse analysis of the vibration signatures (like modal frequencies, mode shapes) and crack parameters (like crack depth, crack location and crack inclination) of an inclined edge crack cantilever beam. The modal frequencies are obtained from finite element (using ANSYS) and experimental analysis which are used as inputs to the hybrid fuzzy controller. The hybrid fuzzy system is designed by taking different types of membership functions (MF) to determine the crack parameters. The calculated first three modal frequencies are used to create number of fuzzy rules with the three output crack parameters. Finally, the proposed hybrid technique is validated by comparing the results obtained from trapezoidal and Gaussian fuzzy controllers, FEA and experimental results. The outcomes obtained from hybrid fuzzy controller are in good agreement with experimental results. Nomenclature

This work deals with the design and experimental evaluation of a passive/active cantilever beam autoparametric vibration absorber mounted on a two-story building-like structure (primary system), with two rigid floors connected by flexible columns. The autoparametric vibration absorber consists of a cantilever beam with a piezoelectric patch actuator, cemented to its base, mounted on the top of the structure and actively controlled through an acquisition system. The overall system is then a coupled nonlinear oscillator subjected to sinusoidal excitation in the neighborhood of its external and internal resonances. The addition of the piezoelectric patch actuator to the cantilever beam absorber makes active the passive vibration absorber, thus enabling the possibility to control its equivalent stiffness and damping and, as a consequence, the implementation of an active vibration control scheme able to preserve, as possible, the autoparametric interaction as well as to compensate varying excitation frequencies and parametric uncertainty.
