Active vibration control of piezolaminated stiffened plates

摘要

The aim of this work is to present active vibration control of stiffened plates. A stiffened plate finite element with piezoelectric effects is formulated. The characteristic feature of the stiffener is that it can have any shape in plan and need not pass through the nodal lines of the finite element mesh. The coupling between the direct and the converse piezoelectric effects is neglected for sim- plicity. A velocity feedback algorithm is employed in the active control. Numerical examples for vibration control of isotropic and orthotropic stiffened plates have been presented.
