Active Vibration Control of Laminated Composite Plates by using External Patches
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
The concept of suppressing vibrations caused by external or internal stimulus has been evolving from a long time and there have been several techniques to suppress these vibrations involving spring mass dampeners and inertial mass actuators but the technique of active vibration control is more efficient in its ability to reduce vibrations to great extent. The field applications that active vibration control can be employed in, are vast ranging from structures like automobile engines, vehicle chassis, to airplane wings. The key significant improvement in using this technique is that the actuatosr placed reduces the vibrations of all modal frequencies more efficiently compared to other techniques that are efficient only in suppressing high-frequency modes. The main points to be considered in this technique are the positioning, number and the size of actuator/patch. In this study we used ANSYS 15.0 to analyse the impact of patch position, size and number on the natural frequency and displacement of the actual host structure (in our case laminated composite plate) by observing the strain values and root occurrence in case of the host structure. We used Piezo ceramic as an actuator/patch to suppress vibrations. The positional influence is shown to have a profound impact on reducing host structure deformation to a significant extent. The Analysis we have done paves a way for using active vibration control technique efficiently; since it involves the study of all the key parameters that helps in attenuating the vibrations.
