In this paper intelligent constrained-layer (ICL) damping treatments are applied to control bending vibration of composite and isotropic plates. The ICL damping treatment consists of a viscoelastic shear layer sandwiched between a piezoelectric constraining cover sheet and the structure to be damped. According to the measured vibration response of the structure, the feedback controller regulates axial deformation of the piezoelectric layer to perform active vibration control. The equation of motion and boundary conditions governing the bending vibration of a composite plate processing bending-stretching coupling stiffness with ICL damping treatments are derived. Two examples are illustrated in this paper. The first example considers an infinite composite plate consisting of a ±45° angle ply laminate subjected to plane harmonic wave excitations. An ICL treatment with an idealized, distributed sensor and a proportional-plus-derivative feedback controller is used to control the bending vibration of the composite plate. Compared with existing passive constrained layer treatments, numerical results show that the ICL damping treatment can produce significant damping. In addition, there are certain orientations, determined by the structures of the composite laminate, along with the vibration amplitude can be reduced to a minimum. The second example considers bending-vibration control of a simply supported rectangular, isotropic classical plate through use of ICL treatment. The equation of motion is first obtained from that of the composite plate with the bending stiffness matrix, the extensional stiffness matrix, and the bending-extension coupling stiffness matrix replaced by isotropic elastic constants. A four-mode Galerkin approximation shows that the vibration amplitude of the first bending-vibration mode can be reduced significantly through ICL. The second bending-vibration mode, though uncontrollable for a simply-supported rectangular plate, will have finite amplitude

Nanocrystalline materials (NCMs) by definition are single or multiphase polycrystals with a crystal size on the order of 1-10nm. NCMs seem to permit the alloying of components, which results in alloys with properties attractive to the aerospace industry. The research around nanocrystals adds a few more difficulties. There is a smaller size and very random arrangement of atoms. Such uncontrollable characteristics are related to the viscosity model by Herring. The focus of this paper is to improve the creep model accepted today along with its diffusivity parameters. By using both the Coble and Herring models and Coffey's assumptions for grain boundary sources and by adjusting the vacancy concentration gradient one can derive a more accurate nanocrystalline creep equation.
In conjunction with appropriate control architecture techniques, an active structure is typically designed to modify its dynamic response to reduce vibration by changing its dynamic properties, such as damping and sti...

smartmaterials of lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) piezoelectric ceramics have attracted attention in recent years for active vibration control, acoustic noise suppression, health monitoring and damage assessment. We at McDonnell Douglas Aerospace have been studying these ceramics for use as sensors and actuators in various space and aircraft structures. In this paper, we will report results of a recent study on active vibration control using monomorph PZT actuators. The experiments were performed on thin aluminum cantilever beams. Collocated and non-collocated sensors and actuators were employed. Two control techniques: the classical velocity feedback and adaptive feedback controls, were investigated. We have obtained significant damping and broadband vibration attenuation of greater than 30 dB using the classical control with the single-input single-output feedback approach. A 24 dB reduction has also been achieved using the adaptive control with the multiple-input single-output approach. Detailed experimental methods and results will be described.

The design and implementation of control strategies for large, flexible smartstructures presents challenging problems. One of the difficulties arises in the approximation of high-order finite element models with low order models. Another difficulty in controller design arises from the presence of unmodeled dynamics and incorrect knowledge of the structural parameters. In this paper, the balance-truncation reduced-order models are employed in deriving lower-order models for complex smartstructures. These methods do not introduce any spill-over problems in the closed-loop response of the system. The simplified analytical models are compared with models developed by structural identification techniques based on vibration test data. To minimize the effects of uncertainties on the closed-loop system performance of smartstructures, robust control methodologies have been employed in the design of controllers. The reduced order models are employed in the design of robust controllers. To demonstrate the capabilities of shape-memory-alloy actuators, we have designed and fabricated a three-mass test article with multiple shape-memory-alloy (NiTiNOL) actuators. Generally, the non-collocation of actuators and sensors presents difficulties in the design of controllers. controllers for a test article with non-collocated sensors and actuators are designed, implemented and tests. The closed-loop system response of the test article with two actuators and sensors has been experimentally determined and presented in the paper.

Active vibration control of structures using piezoelectric materials is a new approach for damping unwanted vibrations in structures lacking sufficient stiffness or passive damping. The finite elements method is used to model active damping elements which are piezoelectric actuators bonded to a box beam. Efficient implementation of these actuators requires that their optimal locations on the structure be determined and that the structure be designed to best utilize the properties of the piezoelectrics. A formal optimization procedure has been developed to address both of these issues. Multiobjective optimization techniques are used to minimize multiple and conflicting design objectives such as mass and energy dissipated by the piezoelectric actuators.
