We describe a design technique for optimal control in active structural vibration damping using smartmaterials. The vibration of a cantilever beam is stabilized by feedback the weighted integration of vibration velocity in the closed loop system through the application of distributed sensors and actuators made of smartmaterials. We model the beam by the Timoshenko beam model embedded with the distributed sensors and actuators to account for the shear and inertial effects on the structures. We propose an algorithm to find the optimal placement of the actuators and sensors so as to maximize the damping effect. An objective functional is defined based on the vibration energy of the system. The optimal shapes of the sensor and actuator are determined through minimizing the energy functional of the beam over the admissible shape function space subject to certain constraints. This approach can be generalized to cases of plate damping and active control of more complicated smartstructures as well.
A dynamic system with satisfactory performance generally consists of a mechanical system (the plant) and a controller that drives the mechanical system to meet certain performance requirements. Traditionally the contr...

The thrust of this research has been to develop powerful models for characterizing sensor and actuator behavior, and to construct demonstration articles for assessing and quantifying the performance of advanced embedded actuators and sensors. Powerful finite elements have been developed to model the sensor and actuator behavior for use in designing smart systems. The capability exists to accurately model fiberoptic sensors, piezoelectric material behavior, and shape memory alloy material behavior in both static and dynamic applications. These finite elements were written for use with the ABAQUS computer code. Real-time data interaction with the code allows active control simulations to be conducted. Existing control theories have been used to analytically simulate response control of randomly excited structures. In addition, both thermoset and thermoplastic composite structures with embedded piezoelectric actuators were fabricated. These structures will be used as benchmarks to evaluate our smart structure manufacturing capabilities. The manufacturing methods presented here have addressed the issues of sensor / actuator survivability, sensor / actuator integration, and process conditioning. Finally, the results for all tests are qualified and compared, and the implications for their relationship to future platforms are discussed.
A method of non-contact interrogation of electronic and opto-electronic systems embedded within composite materials has been recently demonstrated. The method is based upon inductive coupling between external and embe...

This paper addresses the implications of spurious nonminimum phase zeros for design of control systems with noncollocated sensors and actuators. The relationship between the finite- element model and the control system model is examined in detail, with particular emphasis on the physical analogies of nonminimum phase zeros in the finite-dimensional representation of the system. Finite element models of constrained systems may be used to determine which zeros are spurious. Synthesis of accurate transfer functions is demonstrated using the idea of constrained modes. By considering the infinity norm of the undermodelling, the exact residue model even with spurious nonminimum phase zeros is the preferred model for control system design.

Interface science of polymer/metal semiconductor ceramic interfaces has to date focused largely on model quasi two-dimensional systems and yet the long-term future is their role in three-dimensional environmentally adaptive, self-repairing 'smart' materials systems, that start to provide a genuine mimic of nature's 'composite' materials systems. It is becoming clear that polymer science and technology will play a pivotal role in the emerging 'chemistry direct to shapes' era where molecular level design, synthesis and assembly of the spatially resolved 'active' materials systems of the future will bypass many of the issues of incommensurate engineering associated with bolt-on actuators, sensors, etc., currently envisaged. The issues of massively parallel information processing to provide a knowledge response mode will also hinge on developments in polymer science and the molecular level control of interface structures. The core competencies required are already becoming apparent and are briefly reviewed in this paper.

The broadband control of compliance coefficient S33 of a hard ceramic has direct applications in active vibration control. A collocated smart system consisting of ceramic sensor, actuator and a feedback amplifier is developed with 3.5 kHz bandwidth of compliance control without using filter in the feedback circuit. It is found that modified lead titanate with very low planar coupling coefficient k(p) is most suited as a sensor material for this type of system. The requirements of the feedback amplifier for such a system are discussed and an amplifier design presented. The bandwidth of compliance control is experimentally determined by bench tests using a B and K shaker.
