In this article, the vibration control of the sandwich plate reinforced by carbon nanotube in the face sheet and porous core integrated with sensor and actuator layers is investigated. The piezoelectric layers at the bottom and top surfaces of the sandwich plate play the role of the sensor and actuator. By applying the Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations of the structure are derived based on the first-order shear deformation theory. The perturbation method is used to find the relationships between nonlinear frequency and amplitude response of the sandwich plate. The effect of porosity coefficient, temperature, volume fraction of carbon nanotube, and geometric parameters on nonlinear frequency and vibration control of the sandwich plate is studied. Moreover, the influence of material type of sensor and actuator and scale transformation parameter on the nonlinear frequency and vibration control of the system is investigated. According to the obtained results, in the case of ε < 0, the system stiffness presents softening behavior, whereas in the case of ε > 0, the system stiffness becomes hardening. By considering the effect of the voltage coefficient on the vibration control and the needed time for stabilization, the results of this article can be used to design, manufacture, and control modern structures.

The active vibration control of a rectangular sandwich plate by Positive Position Feedback is experimentally investigated. The thin walled structure, consisting of carbon-epoxy outer skins and a Nomex paper honeycomb core, has completely free boundary conditions. A detailed linear and nonlinear characterization of the vibrations of the plate was previously performed by our research group [1, 2]. Four couples of unidirectional Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) piezoelectric patches are used as strain sensors and actuators. The positioning of the patches is led by a finite element modal analysis, in the perspective of a modal control strategy aimed at the lowest four natural frequencies of the structure. Numerical and experimental verifications estimate the resulting influence of the control hardware on the modal characteristics of the plate. Experimental values are also extracted for the control authority of the piezoelectric patches in the chosen configuration. Single Input – Single Output (SISO) and MultiSISO Positive Position Feedback algorithms are tested and the transfer function parameters of the controller are tuned according to the previously known values of modal damping. A totally experimental procedure to determine the participation matrices, necessary for the Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output configuration, is developed. The resulting algorithm proves successful in selectively reducing the vibration amplitude of the first four vibration modes in the case of a broadband disturbance. PPF is therefore used profitably on laminated composite plates in conjunction with strain transducers, for the control of the low frequency range up to 100 Hz. The relevant tuning procedure moreover, proves straightforward, despite the relatively high number of transducers. The rigid body motions which arise in case of free boundary conditions do not affect the operation of the active control.

AbstractAn active method of vibration control of a smart sandwich plate (SSP) using discrete piezoelectric patches is investigated. In order to actively control the SSP vibration, the plate is equipped with three piezoelectric patches that act as actuators. Based on the classical plate theory, a finite element model with the contributions of piezoelectric sensor and actuator patches on the mass and stiffness of the sandwich plate was developed to derive the state space equation. LQR control algorithm is used in order to actively control the SSP vibration. The accuracy of the present model is tested in transient and harmonic loads. The applied piezoelectric actuator provides a damping effect on the SSP vibration. The amplitudes of vibrations and the damping time were significantly reduced when the control is ON.
