Experimental studies on active vibration control of smart plate using a modified PID controller with optimal orientation of piezoelectric actuator

This paper presents a design, development and experimental verification of an active vibration control system of aluminum plate. The active structure consists of an aluminum rectangular plate as the host structure, strain gages as the sensor element and a piezoceramic patch as the actuation element. Based on characteristics of the integrated elements with use of the fuzzy optimization strategy based on the pseudogoal function the optimal orientation of piezoelectric actuator is found, and the whole active vibration control system is designed and developed. The active vibration control system is controlled by proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control strategy. Control algorithm was implemented on the PIC32MX440F256H microcontroller platform. In order to prevent it from negative occurrences from derivative and integral terms in a PID controller, the first-order low-pass filters are implemented in the derivative action and in the feedback of integral action. The experiment considers active damping control under periodic excitation. Experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the vibration suppression and to compare the damping effect with different adjustment of PID gains. Experimental results corresponding to the developed active vibration control system are presented. The system suppresses more than 90% of vibration amplitude, which confirms the high level of effectiveness in vibration active damping at the proposed active structure.
