Vibration control of smart composite structures using shunted piezoelectric systems and neuro-fuzzy techniques

摘要

Shunt piezoelectric circuits can be used in several combinations for passive control of smart structures. Resonant shunt circuits with resistors and inductors can control resonant frequencies, by consuming the energy produced from vibrations by passing it to electric components. Such systems are very efficient for single-mode problems; however, when it comes to multi-mode control, their performance drastically deteriorates. The purpose of the present study is the development of optimized resonant shunt piezoelectric circuits, along with an intelligent control system based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy techniques, for vibration suppression of smart composite structures. Shunt circuits are pre-tuned to the first four eigenfrequencies and a neuro-fuzzy control system is developed and used for the activation of the suitable shunt circuit, each time, providing the necessary adaptivity to the whole system.
