Vibration suppression of a piezo-equipped cylindrical shell in a broad-band frequency domain

Abstract This paper focuses on the dynamic modeling of a cylindrical shell equipped with piezoceramic sensors and actuators, as well as the design of a broad band multi-input and multi-output linear quadratic Gaussian controller for the suppression of vibrations. The optimal locations of actuators are derived by Genetic Algorithm (GA) to effectively control the specific structural modes of the cylinder. The dynamic model is derived based on the Sanders shell theory and the energy approach for both the cylinder and the piezoelectric transducers, all of which reflect the piezoelectric effect. The natural vibration characteristics of the cylindrical shell are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the experimental results. Then, the broad band multi-input and multi-output linear quadratic Gaussian controller was designed and applied to the test article. An active vibration control experiment is carried out on the cylindrical shell and the digital control system is used to implement the proposed control algorithm. The experimental results show that vibrations of the cylindrical shell can be suppressed by the piezoceramic sensors and actuators along with the proposed controller. The optimal location of the actuators makes the proposed control system more efficient than other configurations.
