Loss Factors

In this paper, an energy-based approach is developed to investigate damping characteristics of beams with enhanced self-sensing active constrained layer (ESACL) damping treatments. Analytical formulations for the active, passive, and total hybrid modal loss factors of the cantilever and simply-supported beams partially covered with the ESACL are derived. The analytical formulations are validated with the results in the literature and experimental data for the cantilever beam. Beams with other boundary conditions can also be solved and discussed using the presented approach. The results show that the edge elements in the ESACL can significantly improve the system damping performance as compared to the active constrained layer damping treatment. The effects of key parameters, such as control gain, edge element stiffness, location, and coverage of the ESACL patch on the system loss factors, have been investigated. It has also been shown that the boundary conditions play an important role on the damping characteristics of the beam structure with the ESACL treatment. With careful analysis on the location and coverage of the partially covered ESACL treatment, effective vibration control for beams under various boundary conditions for specific modes of interest would be achieved.

Active Constrained Layer

The Active Constrained Layer Damping (ACLD) treatment has been used successfully for controlling the vibration of various flexible structures. It provides an effective means for augmenting the simplicity and reliability of passive damping with the low weight and high efficiency of active controls to attain high damping characteristics over broad frequency bands. In this paper, optimal placement strategies of ACLD patches are devised using the modal strain energy (MSE) method. These strategies aim at minimizing the total weight of the damping treatments while satisfying constraints imposed on the modal damping ratios. A finite element model is developed to determine the modal strain energies of plates treated with ACLD. The treatment is then applied to the elements that have highest MSE in order to target specific modes of vibrations. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the utility of the devised optimization technique as an effective tool for selecting the optimal locations of the ACLD treatment to achieve desired damping characteristics over a broad frequency band.

Hybrid Damping

This paper proposes a hybrid damping design to control torsional vibration of a shaft with a circular cross section through use of actively constrained layer (ACL) damping treatments proposed by Baz (1993) and Shen (1993, 1994a). The ACL damping treatment consists of a piezoelectric constraining layer and a viscoelastic shear layer wrapping around the shaft in the form of a helix. In addition, the angular displacement of the shaft is fed back to regulate the helical motion of the piezoelectric constraining layer. The equation of motion of this design is derived, and its stability and controllability are discussed. Finally, numerical examples show that this ACL design can reduce torsional vibration of a shaft. A sensitivity analysis shows that ACL is most effective in suppressing those modes with significant torsional vibration response. Stability, in general, is not a critical factor in designing ACL systems, because the piezoelectric strain of the constraining layer at the threshold of instability is too large to occur.
