Abstract:

This thesis presents the practical and novel work in the area of optimal placement of actuators and sensors for sound-structure interaction systems. The work has been done by the author during his PhD candidature. The research is concentrated in systems with non-ideal boundary conditions as in the case in practical engineering applications. An experimental acoustic cavity with five walls of timber and a thin aluminium sheet fixed tightly on the cavity mouth is chosen in this thesis as a good representation of general sound-structure interaction systems. The sheet is intentionally so fixed that it does not satisfy ideal boundary conditions. The existing methods for obtaining optimal sensor-actuator location using analytic models with ideal boundary conditions are of limited use for such problem with non-ideal boundary conditions. The method presented in this thesis for optimal placement of actuators and sensors is motivated by energy based approach and model uncertainty inclusion. The optimal placement of actuator and sensor for the experimental acoustic cavity is used to construct a robust feedback controller based on minimax LQG control design method. The controller is aimed to reduce acoustic potential energy in the cavity. This energy is due to the structure-borne sound inside the sound-structure interaction system. Practical aspects of the method for optimal placement of actuator and sensors are highlighted by experimental vibration and acoustic noise attenuation for arbitrary disturbance using feedback controllers with optimal placement of actuator and sensor. The disturbance is experimentally set to enter the system via a spatial location different from the controller input as would be in any practical applications of standard feedback disturbance rejections. Experimental demonstration of the novel methods presented in this thesis attenuate structural vibration up to 13 dB and acoustic noise up to 5 dB for broadband frequency range of interest. This attenuation is achieved without the explicit knowledge of the model of the disturbance.

Abstract:

Conformal airborne antennas have several advantages compared to externally mounted antennas, and they will play an important role in future aircrafts. However, they are subjected to vibration induced deformations which degrade their electromagnetic performances. With the motivation of suppressing such vibrations, use of active vibration control techniques with piezoelectric actuators is investigated in this study. At first, it is aimed to control the first three bending modes of a cantilever beam. In this scope, four different modal controllers
positive position feedback (PPF), resonant control (RC), integral resonant control (IRC) and positive position feedback with feed-through (PPFFT) are designed based on both reduced order finite element model and the system identification model. PPFFT, is a modified version of PPF which is proposed as a new controller in this study. Results of real- time control experiments show that PPFFT presents superior performance compared to its predecessor, PPF, and other two methods. In the second part of the study, it is focused on controlling the first three modes of a rectangular plate with four clamped edges. Best location alternatives for three piezoelectric actuators are determined with modal strain energy method. Based on the reduced order finite element model, three PPFFT controllers are designed for three collocated transfer functions. Disturbance rejection performances show the convenience of PPFFT in multi-input multi-output control systems. Performance of the control system is also verified by discrete-time simulations for a random disturbance representing the in-flight aircraft vibration characteristics.

Abstract:

Inflatable structures have been a subject of renewed interest in recent years for space applications such as communication antennas, solar thermal propulsion, and entry/landing systems. This is because inflatable structures are very lightweight and on-orbit deployable. In addition, they have high strength-to-mass ratio and require minimal stowage volume, which makes them especially suitable for cost-effective large space structures. An inflated toroidal structure (torus) is often used there in order to provide structural support. For these structures to be effective, their vibration must be controlled while keeping the weight low. Piezoelectric materials have become strong candidates for actuator and sensor applications in the active vibration control of such structures due to their lightweight, conformability to the host structure, and distributed nature. In this study, our main focus is to understand the dynamic characteristics of an inflatable torus and to control its vibration using piezoelectric actuators and sensors. The first part of this study is concerned with theoretical formulations. We use Sanders' shell theory to derive the governing equations of motion for a shell subjected to pressure. To take into account the prestress effects of internal pressure, we use geometric nonlinearity, and to model the follower action of pressure force, we consider the work done by internal pressure during the vibration of the shell. These equations are then specialized to obtain approximate equations presented by previous researchers. We extend this analytical formulation to derive the equivalent forces due to piezoelectric actuators in unimorph and bimorph configurations and include their mass and stiffness effects in the governing equations. A sensor equation is also developed for the shell. The actuator and sensor equations are then written in terms of modal displacements and velocities so as to evaluate their interactions with different vibratory modes. In the second part, we focus on numerical studies related to an inflated torus. At first, we perform a free vibration analysis of the inflated torus using Galerkin's method. We study how different parameters (aspect ratio, internal pressure, and wall-thickness) of the inflated torus affect the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the inflated torus. We compare the results obtained from the theory used in this research with the results from different approximate theories and commercial finite element codes. The results suggest that the use of an accurate shell theory and pressure effect is very important for the vibration analysis of an inflated torus. Next, the modal behaviors of piezoelectric actuator and sensor are analyzed. A detailed study is done in order to understand how the size and location of actuator and sensor affect the modal forces, the modal sensing constants, and the overall performance for all the considered modes. In order to determine the optimal locations and sizes of actuators and sensors, we use a genetic algorithm. Natural frequencies and mode shapes are calculated considering the passive effects of actuators and sensors. Finally, we attempt the vibration control of the inflated torus using the optimally designed actuators and sensors and sliding mode controller/observer. The numerical simulations show that piezoelectric actuators and sensors can be used in the vibration control of an inflatable torus. The robustness properties of the controller and observer against the parameter uncertainty and disturbances are verified.

Abstract:

Actuator placement is a major concern in control system designs. Utilizing piezoelectric actuators increases the complexity of actuator designs, because both actuator location and dimensions need to be considered. A comprehensive study was conducted in this dissertation on the optimization of piezoelectric actuator designs for vibration suppression of flexible structures. The investigation on the optimal piezoelectric actuator designs were grouped into two parts. Part one covered actuator designs when the same number of actuators as the controlled modes are used. Approaches were formed to optimally design piezoelectric actuators which requires least control efforts. In part two of this dissertation, a method named the Weighted Pseudoinverse Method was introduced to deal with the cases in which fewer actuators than the controlled modes are utilized. The weighted pseudoinverse method yields a optimal transformation from modal control forces into the actuator-moments in physical space. Based on the Weighted pseudoinverse method, the piezoelectric actuator designs were optimized to ensure least-control-effort actuator designs. A simply-supported beam was used as an example to demonstrate the effectiveness of the design methods proposed in this dissertation. However, the design methods are applicable to general cases.

Abstract:

Increasing demand for precision components made of hard and brittle materials such as glasses, steel alloys and advanced ceramics, is such that conventional grinding and polishing techniques can no longer meet the requirements of today's precision manufacturing engineering. Particularly, in order to undertake micro-milling of optical glasses or other hard-machining materials, vibration assisted machining techniques have been adopted. However, it is essential and much needed to undertake such processes based on a scientific approach, i.e. the process to be quantitatively controlled and optimized rather than carried out with a trial-and-error manner. In this research, theoretical modelling and instrumental implementation issues for vibration assisted micro-milling are presented and explored in depth. The modelling is focused on establishing the scientific relationship between the process variables such as vibration frequency, vibration amplitude, feedrate and spindle speed while taking into account machine dynamics effect and the outcomes such as surface roughness generated, tool wear and material removal rate in the process. The machine dynamics has been investigated including a static analysis, machine tool-loop stiffness, modal analysis, frequency response function, etc, carried out for both the machine structure and the piezo-actuator device. The instrumentation implementation mainly includes the design of the desktop vibration assisted machining system and its control system. The machining system consists of a piezo-driven XY stage, air bearing spindle, jig, workpiece holder, PI slideway, manual slideway and solid metal table to improve the system stability. The control system is developed using LabVIEW 7.1 programming. The control algorithms are developed based on theoretical models developed by the author. The process optimisation of vibration assisted micro-milling has been studied by using design and analysis of experiment (DOE) approach. Regression analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Taguchi method and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) have been chosen to perform this study. The effects of cutting parameters are evaluated and the optimal cutting conditions are determined. The interaction of cutting parameters is established to illustrate the intrinsic relationship between cutting parameters and surface roughness, tool wear and material removal rate. The predicted results are confirmed by validation experimental cutting trials. This research project has led to the following contribution to knowledge: (1) Development of a prototype desktop vibration assisted micro-milling machine. (2) Development of theoretical models that can predict the surface finish, tool wear and material removal rate quantitatively. (3) Establishing in depth knowledge on the use of vibration assisted machining principles. (4) Optimisation of cutting process parameters and conditions through simulations and machining trials for through investigation of vibration assisted machining.

Abstract:

In this thesis, the performance of piezoelectric patches on investigation of vibration characteristics and active vibration control of a smart beam is presented. The smart beam is composed of eight surface-bonded piezoelectric patches symmetrically located on each side of a cantilever aluminium beam. At first, vibration characteristics of the smart beam is investigated by employment of piezoelectric patches as sensors and actuators. Smart beam is excited by either impact hammer or piezoelectric patch and the response of the smart beam particular to these excitations is measured by piezoelectric patches used as sensors. In order to investigate the performance of piezoelectric patches in sensing, the measurements are also conducted by commercially available sensing devices. Secondly, active vibration suppression of the smart beam via piezoelectric sensor/actuator pair is considered. For this purpose, system identification of the smart beam is conducted by using four piezoelectric patches as actuators and another piezoelectric patch as a sensor. The designed robust controller is experimentally implemented and active vibration suppression of the free and first resonance forced vibration is presented. Thirdly, active vibration control of the smart beam is studied by employment of piezoelectric patches as self-sensing actuators. Following the same approach used in the piezoelectric sensor/actuator pair case, system identification is conducted via self-sensing piezoelectric actuators and robust controller is designed for active vibration suppression of the smart beam. Finally, active vibration suppression via self-sensing piezoelectric actuators is experimentally presented.

Abstract:

This thesis reports a study in the area of active vibration damping focused primarily on reconfiguration of control actuators following failure of one or more components. Several related issues concerning practical implementation were considered, and these also were discussed. These subjects were studied with reference to a particular laboratory structure, a hanging plane grid in the Spacecraft Controls Branch at NASA Langley Research Center. The structure had dynamics representative in many respects of a large, highly flexible space structure (LSS), and this study was intended to contribute toward the development of vibration control for LSS. A numerical analysis of the reconfiguration by computer simulation is presented. The possible future experimental validation of this numerical analysis motivated examination of some auxiliary problems related to implementation of vibration control with real, nonideal hardware. One of these problems is the effect of the dynamics of real sensors, actuators, and filters on a vibration control system. An experimental analysis of this problem was conducted, and the results presented here include hardware induced performance degradation and system instability. Another problem considered is prediction of response for use in feedback control by a digital controller that introduces a significant computational delay. A prediction technique is described, and some results of open-loop experimental evaluation of this technique are presented. Also, a computer simulation of closed-loop application of this technique was conducted, and the results, which include system instabilities, are presented.

Abstract:

Nowadays, numerous applications of active sound transmission control require lightweight partitions with high transmission loss over a broad frequency range and simple control strategies. In this work an active-passive sound transmission control approach is investigated that potentially addresses these requirements. The approach involves the use of lightweight stiff panels, or tiles, attached to a radiating base structure through active-passive soft mounts and covering the structure surface. The resulting double-partition configuration was shown to have good high frequency passive isolation, but poor low frequency transmission loss due to the coupling of the tiles to the base vibration through the air gap. The low frequency transmission loss performance of the partition was increased by using the active mounts to cancel the local volume velocity of the tiles. The use of a decentralized control approach with independent single channel controllers for each tile facilitates the implementation of a multiple tile system in a large scale application. A coupled structural-acoustic model based on an impedance mobility matrix approach was formulated to investigate the potential performance of active-passive tile approach in controlling sound transmission through plates. The model was initially applied to investigate the sound transmission characteristics of a double-panel partition consisting of a single tile-plate configuration and then extended to model a partition consisting of multiple-tiles mounted on a plate. The system was shown to have significant passive performance above the mass-spring-mass resonance of the double-panel system. Both feedback and feedforward control approaches were simulated and shown to significantly increase the transmission loss of the partition by applying control forces in parallel with the mounts to reduce the tile normal velocity. A correspondent reduction in sound radiated power was obtained over a broad frequency range limited by the tile stiffness. The experimental implementation of the active-passive tile approach for the control of sound transmission through plates was also performed. Two main experimental setups were utilized in the investigations, the first consisting of a single tile mounted on a clamped plate and the other consisting of four active tiles mounted of a simply supported plate. Tile prototypes were implemented with lightweight stiff panels and integrated active-passive mounts were implemented with piezoelectric Thunder actuators. Both analog feedback and digital feedforward control schemes where designed and implemented with the objective of reducing the normal velocity of the tiles. Experimental results have demonstrated significant broad frequency range reductions in the sound transmission through the partition by active attenuation of the tile velocity. In addition, the experiments have shown that decentralized control can be successfully implemented for multiple tiles systems. The active-passive sound transmission control characteristics of the systems experimentally studied were observed to be in accordance with the analytical results.

Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Mecânica, 2016.
Uma viga em rotação é equipada com sensores e atuadores piezoelétricos em conjunto com um controlador proporcional-derivativo (PD) ou um controlador do tipo regulador linear quadrático (LQR) para comparação. O objetivo dos controladores é a minimização da deflexão na extremidade livre da estrutura devido ao seu movimento em torno do eixo de rotação. Utilizando o efeito piezoelétrico ¿ a geração de uma voltagem quando a estrutura está sujeita a uma tensão mecânica ¿ e, inversamente, a geração de uma deformação quando sujeito a uma voltagem, a estrutura do tipo viga é considerada como um sistema inteligente, tendo a capacidade de detectar e corrigir deflexões ao longo de seu comprimento. Usando as equações de Lagrange, a equação governante do movimento é obtida para a viga. A força (momento) e a rigidez da cerâmica piezoelétrica são subsequentemente adicionadas à equação governante da viga. A função de Heaviside é usada para a localização do atuador piezoelétrico ao longo da viga. A posição do atuador piezoelétrico varia a partir da extremidade engastada até a extremidade livre da viga ocupando três diferentes posições. O comprimento do atuador piezoelétrico é de um terço do comprimento da viga. O melhor posicionamento do piezoelétrico dentre os investigados é determinado para os três primeiros modos de vibração. Duas técnicas de controle linear são investigadas com o objetivo de eliminar a vibração na estrutura flexível: PD e LQR. O grau de liberdade associado ao movimento de rotação da viga (e suas derivadas) é prescrito por meio de um perfil pré-definido.
A rotating beam is fitted with piezoelectric sensors and actuators in conjunction with a proportional-derivative (PD) controller and a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller in order to minimize the deflection of the tip due to the rotational motion of the structure. Utilizing the piezo effects, the generation of a voltage, when subjected to a strain, and conversely the generation of a strain when subjected to a voltage, the system is considered as smart, having the ability to sense and correct deflections of the tip of the beam. Using the equations of Lagrange, the governing equation of motion is derived for the beam. The force (moment) and the stiffness of the piezo ceramic are subsequently added to the governing equation of the beam. In a model of the system, a Heaviside function is used to manipulate the position of the piezo. The position of the piezo will be varied from the root of the beam (the clamped end) to the free end of the beam, occupying three different positions; the length of the piezo is a third of the beam¿s length. The best position of the piezo is determined for three modes of vibration. Two linear control techniques are investigated in order to eliminate vibration in the flexible structure. The degree of freedom associated with the rotational motion is obtained by a predefined profile.

Abstract:

The dissertation focuses on one of the major research needs in the area of adaptive /intelligent/smart structures, the development and application of finite element analysis and genetic algorithms for optimal design of large-scale adaptive structures. We first review some basic concepts in finite element method and genetic algorithms, along with the research on smart structures. Then we propose a solution methodology for solving a critical problem in the design of a next generation of large-scale adaptive structures -- optimal placements of a large number of actuators to control thermal deformations. After briefly reviewing the three most frequently used general approaches to derive a finite element formulation, the dissertation presents techniques associated with general shell finite element analysis using flat triangular laminated composite elements. The element used here has three nodes and eighteen degrees of freedom and is obtained by combining a triangular membrane element and a triangular plate bending element. The element includes the coupling effect between membrane deformation and bending deformation. The membrane element is derived from the linear strain triangular element using Cook's transformation. The discrete Kirchhoff triangular (DKT) element is used as the plate bending element. For completeness, a complete derivation of the DKT is presented. Geometrically nonlinear finite element formulation is derived for the analysis of adaptive structures under the combined thermal and electrical loads. Next, we solve the optimization problems of placing a large number of piezoelectric actuators to control thermal distortions in a large mirror in the presence of four different thermal loads. We then extend this to a multi-objective optimization problem of determining only one set of piezoelectric actuator locations that can be used to control the deformation in the same mirror under the action of any one of the four thermal loads. A series of genetic algorithms, GA Version 1, 2 and 3, were developed to find the optimal locations of piezoelectric actuators from the order of 10²¹ ~ 10⁵⁶ candidate placements. Introducing a variable population approach, we improve the flexibility of selection operation in genetic algorithms. Incorporating mutation and hill climbing into micro-genetic algorithms, we are able to develop a more efficient genetic algorithm. Through extensive numerical experiments, we find that the design search space for the optimal placements of a large number of actuators is highly multi-modal and that the most distinct nature of genetic algorithms is their robustness. They give results that are random but with only a slight variability. The genetic algorithms can be used to get adequate solution using a limited number of evaluations. To get the highest quality solution, multiple runs including different random seed generators are necessary. The investigation time can be significantly reduced using a very coarse grain parallel computing. Overall, the methodology of using finite element analysis and genetic algorithm optimization provides a robust solution approach for the challenging problem of optimal placements of a large number of actuators in the design of next generation of adaptive structures.

Abstract:

Forests represent one of the biggest terrestrial ecosystems of Earth, that can produce important raw renewable materials such as wood with the help of sun, air and water. To efficiently extract these raw materials, the tree harvesting process is highly mechanized in developed countries, meaning that advanced forestry machines are continuously used to fell, to process and to transport the logs and biomass obtained from the forests. However, working with these machines is demanding both mentally and physically, which are known factors to negatively affect operator productivity. Mental fatigue is mostly due to the manual operation of the on-board knuckleboom crane, which requires advanced cognitive work with two joystick levers, while the most serious physical strains arise from cabin vibrations. These vibrations are generated from knuckleboom crane vibrations as a result of aggressive manual operation. To enhance operator workload, well-being, and to increase productivity of the logging process, semi-automation functions are suggested, which are supervised automatic executions of specific work elements. Some of the related issues are addressed in the current thesis. Therefore, the content is divided into: (1) the design and development of a semi-automation function focused only on the base joint actuator (slewing actuator) of a knuckleboom crane, and (2) active vibration damping solutions to treat crane structure vibrations induced by the main lift cylinder (inner boom actuator). The considered reference machine is a downsized knuckleboom crane of a forwarder machine, which is used to pick up log assortments from a harvesting site. The proposed semi-automation function presented in the first part could be beneficial for operators to use during log loading/unloading scenarios. It consists from a closed-loop position control architecture, to which smooth reference slewing trajectories are provided by a trajectory planner that is automated via operator commands. The used trajectory generation algorithms are taken from conventional robotics and adapted to semi-automation context with proposed modifications that can be customizable by operators. Further, the proposed active vibration damping solutions are aimed to reduce vibrations of the knuckleboom crane excited by the inner boom actuator due to aggressive manual commands. First, a popular input shaping control technique combined with a practical switching logic was investigated to deal with the excited payload oscillations. This technique proved to be useful with a fixed crane pose, however it did not provide much robustness in terms of different link configurations. To tackle this problem an H2-optimal controller is developed, which is active in the pressure feedback-loop and its solely purpose is to damp the same payload oscillations. During the design process, operator commands are treated and explained from input disturbance viewpoint. All of the hypothesis throughout this thesis were verified with extensive experimental studies using the reference machine.

Abstract:

Achieving better NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) comfort necessitates the use of active technologies when product targets are beyond the scope of traditional passive insulators, absorbers, and dampers. Therefore, a lot of effort is now being put in order to develop various active solutions for vibration control, where the development of actuators is one part.

Active hydraulic engine mounts have shown to be a promising actuator for vibration isolation with the benefits of the commonly used passive hydraulic engine mount in addition to the active ones. In this thesis, a benchmark of actuators for active vibration control has been carried out. Piezoelectric actuators and electromagnetic actuators are studied further and two methods to estimate parameters for electromagnetic actuators have been developed. A parameterized model of an active hydraulic engine mount valid for frequencies from zero to about 300 Hz, has also been developed. Good agreement with experimental data has been achieved.

Abstract:

An analytical and experimental investigation into the position and vibration control of beam-like structures within a gravity field using only root actuation was performed. Two methods were used to linearize the system's equations of motion. This, in turn, allowed for the use of powerful Modern Control Theory pole-location techniques to determine proper feedback-control gains. The control law was implemented on an IBM PC capable of analog/digital conversion. A DC servo motor served as the control actuator. Gains were computed for a continuous controller rather than for one having a sampled-data nature. Both simulation and experimental response were good, and were seen to correspond well with computed system-eigenvalues. If gains were chosen to cause more negative eigenvalues, the system's response speed increased, as it should. If eigenvalues are forced to become too negative, however, the system becomes too fast for the controller, and response deteriorated.

Abstract:

Models, modelling and control design play important parts in automatic control. The contributions in this thesis concern topics in all three of these concepts. The poles are of fundamental importance when analyzing the behaviour of a system, and pole placement is an intuitive and natural approach for control design. A novel parameterization for state feedback gains for pole placement in the linear multiple input case is presented and analyzed. It is shown that when the open and closed loop poles are disjunct, every state feedback gain can be parameterized. Other properties are also investigated. Hammerstein models have a static non-linearity on the input. A method for exact compensation of such non-linearities, combined with introduction of integral action, is presented. Instead of inversion of the non-linearity the method utilizes differentiation, which in many cases is simpler. A partial differential equation (PDE) can be regarded as an infinite order model. Many model based control design techniques, like linear quadratic Gaussian control (LQG), require finite order models. Active damping of vibrations in a viscoelastic beam, modelled as a PDE, is considered. The beam is actuated by piezoelectric elements and its movements are measured by strain gauges. LQG design is used, for which different finite order models, approximating the PDE model, are constructed. The so obtained controllers are evaluated on the original PDE model. Minimization of the measured strain yields a satisfactory performance, but minimization of transversal deflection does not. The effect of the model accuracy of the finite order model approximations is also investigated. It turns out that a model with higher accuracy in a specified frequency interval gives controllers with better performance. The wave equation is another PDE. A PDE model, with one spatial dimension, is established. It describes wave propagation in a tube perforated with helical slots. The model describes waves of both extensional and torsional type, as well as the coupling between the two wave types. Experimental data are used for estimation of model parameters, and for assessment of the proposed model in two different cases. The model is found adequate when certain geometrical assumptions are valid.

Abstract:

Position and vibration control of a flexible beam is studied analytically and in the laboratory. Two different motor types are compared as actuators throughout the thesis: a standard voltage controlled motor and a torque controlled motor. The experimental beam is controlled with a dc-servo motor at its base and is instrumented with strain gages and a potentiometer. The control law is a form of linear, direct-output feedback. State estimators augment the control law to provide rate information that is not available from the instrumentation. Accurate modeling of the system’s inherent damping characteristics is achieved by analyzing experimental data. Gains were iterated yielding minimum-gain norm and minimum-sensitivity norm solutions to meet imposed eigenvalue placement constraints. Results for the two solutions and the two systems are compared and contrasted. Experimental verification of analytical results is hampered by unmodeled system non-linearities. Several attempts at bypassing these obstacles are shown. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are made.

Abstract:

In real operating environments, flexible structures exhibiting dynamic oscillations such as aircraft and spacecraft can experience large changes in temperature during their normal operating cycle, typically in the range -70 to 80 degrees Celsius. The use of piezoelectric actuators and sensors to control these dynamic oscillations have been widely explored at constant temperature, although only limited studies have been conducted on the effect that varying temperature has on the active control of flexible structures. The objective of this research is to study the influence of PZT sensors and actuators for vibration control of flexible structures where nonlinearities in piezoelectric and structural material properties change as the system temperatures vary significantly with time. This involved the development of a set of data based parameters that enabled the accurate modelling of a nonlinear flexible system in which its dynamics are actively controlled via the use of piezoelectric sensors and actuators. These parameters determined the design of a control scheme to actively control the system over a large range of operating temperatures, and give an optimised control performance throughout its operating regime. The work reported in this thesis describes selected methods for rapidly examining a number of the more common nonlinear properties of PZT associated with vibration control. An extensive numerical and experimental investigation is performed which shows that when used in active vibration control applications, the variations in PZT properties with temperature can ultimately affect the ability of the piezoelectric actuator and sensors to suppress vibration in flexible structures. Accurate simulation models of the lightweight piezo-actuated cantilevered structures were developed to evaluate the performance of a number of common vibration control schemes subject to significant temperature variations. This research was then extended to an innovative scaled wing-type structure subjected to temperature variations. A suitable adaptive self-tuning control scheme was developed and investigated numerically and experimentally, illustrating the benefit of adaptive control in this instance. The adaptive control technique was shown numerically and experimentally to provide improved settling times and damping ratios over equivalent fixed gain controllers for the class of structures investigated where limited control authority exists. The experimental investigation of PZT sensors and actuators has provided further understanding of the nonlinear behaviour of various light, flexible structures where temperature effects on the system dynamics and control are significant. This research has unveiled previously unreported nonlinearities and has expanded on traditional nonlinearities. These results can assist with the detailed design of applications involving PZT sensors and actuators in for example the aerospace and automotive industries.

Abstract:

Il a été montré dans différentes études que l'application de vibrations ultrasonores durant le forgeage permettaient entre autre de réduire les efforts et d'améliorer la qualité du produit. Plus récemment, des effets similaires ont été obtenu à basse fréquence, pour des formes d'ondes plus complexes, mais nécessitant moins de puissance. En raison de leur rigidité, et compte tenu des amplitudes et des fréquences mises en jeu, les actionneurs piézoélectriques sont bien adaptés à la génération des vibrations nécessaires mais leurs efforts restent limités et l'effet de vibrations est bénéficié selon une seule direction verticale. L'objectif de cette étude est de proposer un système multi-actionneurs piézoélectriques afin d'obtenir une plus grande force totale et des vibrations complexes combinant des rotations autour des axes du plan de la matrice et des translation selon son axe vertical. Un système mécanique à trois degrés de liberté est conçu à cet effet en utilisant des guidages élastiques en raison des faibles déplacements des actionneurs qui excluent la présence de jeux. Pour uniformiser les étapes de conception, modélisation et commande du système, une approche systémique énergétique est abordée en utilisant l'outil de Représentation Énergétique Macroscopique (REM). A l'aide de règles d'inversion de la REM, une structure de commande et une stratégie de gestion d'énergie dans le système sont développées et validées expérimentalement
The superimposition of vibration during forging is known to reduce force and improve the mechanical properties of the workpiece. Until now, ultrasonic frequencies were used, but more recent results have shown that more complex vibrations at low frequencies had similar effects, with less power. Although piezoelectric actuator can generate high forces and have large rigidity, they are still limited with regards to the necessary forces during forging.Therefore, this work addresses the design of a worktool combining several actuators to generate complex vibration waveforms consisting in rotations in the plane of the die and displacement along the vertical direction. It relies on the use of flexible hinges due to the small displacement generated by the actuators. The design and control of the system is realized using a systemic approach based on the Energetic Macroscopic Representation. Thank to this tool, the control is systematically deduced by inversion. The design and its control strategy is validated experimentally on a mock-up specially realized during this work

Abstract:

Estruturas flexíveis estão sujeitas a excitações desconhecidas que podem causar danos. Um dos possíveis artifícios para lidar com este problema é a teoria de controle de sistemas dinâmicos. Em particular, uma técnica que suscita o interessa para aplicação nesta classe de sistemas é o controle ótimo, devido às suas boas propriedades de resposta e factibilidade, podendo ser aplicado até através de circuitos analógicos. O contratempo desta técnica é a necessidade de um número de sensores igual ao número de estados do sistema, o que para estruturas é inviável. Como uma alternativa, pode se empregar os procedimentos usuais de restrição de realimentação do sinal medido. No entanto, estes casos não consideram o projeto das matrizes de saída e entrada, fator determinante para o controle de vibrações em estruturas. O objetivo deste trabalho é preencher esta lacuna. Inicialmente, são introduzidos alguns conceitos das teorias de controle ótimo, dinâmica estrutural e sobre métodos de discretização em séries. Em seguida, determinam-se as condições necessárias de otimalidade considerando como variáveis de otimização o ganho e as posições dos sensores e atuadores. Determinadas as condições, investigam-se os principais desafios para solução destas equações, dados pela existência de parâmetros que estabilizem o sistema e a dependência do ponto ótimo em relação à condição inicial do sistema. O primeiro é resolvido a partir da especificação do sistema linear para uma forma modal e utilizando funções de controle de Lyapunov, o que adicionalmente proporciona o resultado de que o controle colocalizado é um controle ótimo. Para o segundo são propostas duas soluções, sendo uma utilizada para determinar as posições dos atuadores para projetar um controle LQR com desempenho satisfatório, e a outra para determinar os ganhos e posições dos sensores de modo a obter um controle com realimentação de saída com desempenho próximo ao LQR projetado. Os resultados obtidos a partir da aplicação da metodologia desenvolvida em exemplos da dinâmica estrutural revelaram um desempenho notável. Mesmo para uma razão pequena entre o número de sensores pelo número de estados obteve-se um desempenho equivalente ao LQR, exibindo também propriedades robustez consideráveis em relação às variáveis de otimização. Conclui-se que a metodologia desenvolvida é uma boa alternativa para as técnicas de controle LQR e LQG.
Flexible structures are subject to unknown excitations that may cause damage. One of the possible artifices to deal with this problem is the control theory of dynamical systems. In particular, a technique that raises the interest for application in this class of systems is the optimal control, due to its good properties of response and feasibility, as it can be applied even through analog circuits. A drawback of this technique is the need for a number of sensors equal to the number of states, which for structures is impracticable. As an alternative, the usual procedures of using only measured signals for feedback can be employed. However, these cases do not consider the design of the input and output matrices, a determining factor for vibration control in structures. The purpose of this paper is to fill this gap. Initially, some concepts of the theories of optimal control, structural dynamics and series discretization methods are introduced. Then, the optimality conditions are determined considering the gain and locations of sensors and actuators as the optimization variables. Given these conditions, we investigate the main challenges to solve these equations, given by the existence of parameters that stabilize the system and the dependence of the optimum point in relation to the initial condition of the system. The first one is solved from the specification of the linear system to a modal form and using Lyapunov control functions, which additionally provides the result that the collocated control is an optimal control. For the second two solutions are proposed, one being used to determine the positions of the actuators to design a LQR control with satisfactory performance, and the other to determine the gains and positions of the sensors in order to obtain an output feedback control with close performance to the designed LQR. The results obtained from the application of the methodology developed in structural dynamics examples revealed a remarkable performance. Even for a small ratio between the number of sensors by the number of states a performance equivalent to the LQR was obtained, also exhibiting considerable robustness properties in relation to the optimization variables. It is concluded that the developed methodology is a good alternative for LQR and LQG control techniques.

It is analyzed three rotor models, in which one of them operates under the feedback control only. The other models are supported by magnetic bearings only, which also are the controller system actuators. Thus, a feedforward control scheme is applied over the feedback control inherent to the AMB control circuit. The analysis is carried out over these two last models regarding to the control performance for different geometry of mass distribution along the rotor. The focus of this work is to analyze the controller performance according to the sensor quantity and placement (where the vibrations are desired to be minimized) regarding to the actuator position and to the exciting forces. The subsynchronous and synchronous excitations are considered here since they frequently occur in high rotating speed rotors, as in the turbomachinery scenario. Also, the control force required by the actuators is monitored according to the sensors placement to reduce the local vibrations level and the analysis was carried out using the impedance matrix rotor modeling. Further, this work brings a modeling and an application of the feedforward active control scheme in the acoustics field used for voice extraction for communication in noisy environments.

This thesis presents the design methodology, the construction of a prototype and the experimental validation of an active vibration damper witch is controlled by a piezoelectric actuator. The proposed device has two flexible metallic bellows connected to a rigid reservoir filled with a viscous fluid. When one of the bellows is connected to a vibrating structure a periodic flow passes through a variable internal orifice and the damping effect is produced. The size of the orifice is adjusted by a piezoelectric control system that positions the conical core into a conical cavity. The damper device finite element computational model was developed considering that the valve body is rigid and that the fluid - structure iteration occurs between the fluid and the flexible bellows. This model is discretized using a lagrangean-eulrian formulation. The actuator has a closed flexible metallic structure that amplifies the displacement produced by an internally mounted stack of piezoelectric ceramic layers, and it is also modeled by the finite element method. The damper prototype was built and experimental tests using impulsive and harmonic excitations were conducted to determine its dynamic behavior and also to validate the developed computational models. The simulation and experimental results are compared by curves that relate the damping coefficient with the size of the orifice. Reduced dynamical models are proposed to represent the behavior of the damper device with fixed and variable orifice sizes. A local classic PID controller for the piezoelectric actuator was design to assure that the valve core assume the correct position, providing the commanded damping coefficient. The damper device was applied to a vibration system that represents the model of a quarter-car vehicle. One on-off controller and another fuzzy controller were design to control the vibrations of the vehicle equipped with the proposed active damper. Experimental tests shown that the damping coefficient values, commanded by the global controller, were achieved in time intervals lesser than 10 milliseconds. These results demonstrate the very good performance of the proposed damper device.
Esta tese apresenta o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia de projeto, a construção de um protótipo e a validação experimental de um amortecedor ativo de vibrações controlado por um atuador piezelétrico. O dispositivo proposto contém um circuito hidráulico constituído por dois foles metálicos flexíveis conectados a um reservatório rígido cheio com um fluido viscoso. Quando um dos foles é conectado a uma estrutura vibratória um fluxo de fluido é forçado através de um orifício variável, produzindo o efeito de amortecimento. O tamanho do orifício é ajustado por um sistema piezelétrico de controle que posiciona um obturador cônico numa cavidade cônica. O amortecedor é modelado pela técnica dos elementos finitos considerando que o corpo da válvula rígido e que existe interação entre o fluido interno e a estrutura flexível dos foles. Este modelo é discretizado utilizando uma formulação Lagrangeana Euleriana. O atuador, composto por uma estrutura metálica flexível que amplifica o deslocamento produzido por uma pilha de cerâmicas piezelétricas, também é modelado pela técnica dos elementos finitos. Foi construído um protótipo do amortecedor e realizados ensaios experimentais com excitações impulsivas e harmônicas, para determinar o comportamento dinâmico e para validar os modelos computacionais desenvolvidos. A relação entre o tamanho do orifício e a correspondente força de amortecimento produzida é obtida tanto a partir de simulações feitas com o modelo computacional, como através de ensaios com o protótipo, para valores do tamanho do orifício fixos e variáveis. Propõe-se o uso de modelos dinâmicos reduzidos para representar a dinâmica do amortecedor. Para garantir que o atuador piezelétrico posicione corretamente o obturador da válvula, foi incorporado ao amortecedor um controlador local clássico tipo PID. O amortecedor ativo foi aplicado a um sistema vibratório que representa o modelo de um quarto de um automóvel. Desenvolveu-se projeto de um controlador liga - desliga e de um controlador fuzzy para controlar a vibração do veículo equipado com o amortecedor ativo. Testes experimentais mostraram que as alterações no valor do coeficiente de amortecimento da suspensão, comandadas pelo controlador global, foram realizadas em tempos inferiores a 10 milisegundos, indicando excelente desempenho do amortecedor proposto.

Abstract:

Les satellites météorologiques, scientifiques et militaires d'observation de la Terre sont parfois équipés de caméras thermiques. Ces imageurs doivent être refroidis à très basse température pour limiter le bruit induit sur les images de la Terre par la température des capteurs eux-mêmes ainsi que par des sources de chaleur proches des détecteurs infrarouges. Cette thèse s'intéresse à un refroidisseur cryogénique de type « tube à gaz pulsé » qui remplit cette fonction. Elle traite plus particulièrement des vibrations qu'il génère car elles peuvent notamment déstabiliser le satellite ou mettre en mouvement le plan focal des caméras. Les objectifs sont alors de comprendre et de réduire les vibrations induites par le fonctionnement du refroidisseur cryogénique. Ces travaux de thèse comportent deux parties principales. Dans la première, après une analyse du refroidisseur et de son fonctionnement, son comportement vibratoire est modélisé. Ce modèle multiphysique global a pour objectif d'identifier les dissymétries, les non-linéarités et les comportements mécaniques susceptibles d’induire des vibrations. L’approche système proposée fait appel à différentes disciplines scientifiques telles que l’électromagnétisme, la mécanique des solides, la mécanique des fluides et la thermodynamique. Des études de sensibilité sont conduites et le modèle est confronté à des expériences, en mettant en exergue les limites des moyens de mesure et des méthodes de vérification. Dans un second temps, la réduction des vibrations du refroidisseur par la commande est étudiée. L'ensemble du contrôleur actuel de réduction des vibrations est remis en question. Les améliorations proposées concernent les capteurs de vibration, l’algorithme d’analyse fréquentielle, l'algorithme de réduction des vibrations ainsi que le mode de commande. Les solutions de pilotage, de conception et de fabrication du refroidisseur qui résultent de cette thèse offrent des opportunités pour améliorer les performances du système et diminuer son coût
Earth observation satellites for meteorological, scientific or military applications sometimes carry infrared imagers. These cameras need to be cooled down to very low temperatures in order to avoid blurry infrared pictures of the Earth, due to the thermal noise of the detector or heat sources nearby. This PhD thesis focuses on a pulse tube cryocooler used in such applications. It deals with induced vibrations as they can destabilize the satellite or make the camera focal plane move. The goals are to understand and reduce the vibrations induced by the pulse tube cryocooler. These PhD works are composed of two main parts. First, the cryocooler is analyzed and modelled to reproduce observed induced vibrations. This global multiphysics model is aimed at identifying dissymmetry, non-linearity and mechanical behaviors which cause vibrations. This approach uses different fields of science such as electromagnetism, mechanics, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Sensitivity studies are done and the model is confronted to experiments highlighting measurement tools limits and checking methodologies. Next, vibration reduction using control strategies is studied. The whole control loop is questioned. The improvements proposed concern the vibration sensors, the frequency analysis algorithm, the vibration reduction algorithm and the type of control. Solutions for control, conception and manufacturing resulting from this PhD work offer opportunities to improve the system and lower its cost

Composite materials have been used extensively in the aviation industry. Although some investigations in static and dynamic performances of composite laminated sandwich materials can be found, it’s rarely seen the research about structural vibration suppression, and less research is based on the composite wing structures. Besides, in the configuration of actuators and sensors, less literature has been mentioned in the form of separate placement. This paper discusses the optimal placement of sensors and actuators. A composite wing with an airfoil function is considered as a model. The actuators and the sensors are glued to any position on the upper and lower wing surfaces. Simulations of active vibration control are done by ANSYS. In optimization problem, a quadratic function related to the vibration amplitude and control input is defined as the objective function. With optimization module in the software, the optimal placement of the sensors and actuators is discussed. In addition, the composite sandwich beam and panel are extra discussed in terms of configuration, and the composite wing with tapered airfoil is verified and discussed.

Abstract:

This thesis represents the work that has been done by the author in the area of vibration analysis and control of smart structures during his PhD candidature. The research was concentrated on flexible structures, using piezoelectric materials as actuators and sensors. The thesis consists of four major parts. The first part (Chapter 2) is the modelling of piezoelectric laminate structures using modal analysis and finite element methods. The second part (Chapter 4) involves the model correction of pointwise and spatial models of resonant systems. The model correction solution compensates for the errors associated with the truncation of high frequency modes. The third part (Chapter 5) is the optimal placement methodology for general actuators and sensors. In particular, optimal placement of piezoelectric actuators and sensors over a thin plate are considered and implemented in the laboratory. The last part (Chapters 6 to 8) deals with vibration control of smart structures. Several different approaches for vibration control are considered. Vibration control using resonant, spatial H-2 and H-infinity control is proposed and implemented on real systems experimentally. It is possible, for certain modes, to obtain the very satisfactory result of up to 30 dB vibration reduction.

An electromechanical coupling model is developed to predict the natural frequencies of an uniform beam with surface bonded piezoelectric materials. The model includes the electric properties of piezoelectric materials as well as the elastic properties of piezoelectric materials and beam. The electromechanical coupling model is further extended to predict the system modal parameters under piezoelectric actuation. Analysis shows that a stiffening effect from the deflection of the piezoelectric materials it induced under piezoelectric actuation. All analytical predictions are verified by experiments. Active control technique by using the self-sensing piezoelectric actuator is applied to the vibration suppression of flexible structures. Two circuits are implemented to measure the strain and strain rate of the structure for feedback control. The self-sensing actuator with strain or strain rate circuit is shown effective in vibration suppression of a cantilever beam. The strain rate circuit is also applied to the dither motor of a ring laser gyroscope to improve the dithering efficiency.

This Paper employs a macro-fiber composite (MFC) actuator for vibration suppression in a cantilevered beam due to its higher output force to reject the disturbance. Using a variety of algorithms to calculate the appropriate control action on the root of the cantilever. To achieve the effect of vibration suppression. Skyhook control is relatively simple feedback control, the results have been limited. Therefore, using FxLMS in active adaptive control algorithm has a good effect in vibration suppression control. However, a large number of weights needed to collect more samples to re-identification, it costs a long time to stable. For this drawback, we use notch filter and leaky algorithm. This mothed makes control force stable convergence without divergence. Experimental results show that the algorithm can quickly attenuate vibration of the cantilever.

Abstract:

Piezoelectric actuators have proven to be useful in suppressing disturbances and shape control of flexible structures. Large space structures such as solar arrays are susceptible to large amplitude vibrations while in orbit. Moreover, Shape control of many high precision structures such as large membrane mirrors and space antenna is of great importance. Since most of these structures need to be ultra-light-weight, only a limited number of actuators can be used. Consequently, in order to obtain the most effcient control system, the locations of the piezoelectric elements as well as the feedback gain should be optimized. These optimization problems are generally non-convex. In addition, the models for these systems typically have a large number of degrees of freedom. Researchers have used numerous optimization criteria and optimization techniques to find the optimal actuator locations in structural shape and vibration control. Due to the non-convex nature of the problem, evolutionary optimization techniques are extensively used. However, One drawback of these methods is that they do not use the gradient information and so convergence can be very slow. Classical gradient-based techniques, on the other hand, have the advantage of accurate computation; however, they may be computationally expensive, particularly since multiple initial conditions are typically needed to ensure that a global optimum is found. Consequently, a fast, yet global optimization method applicable to systems with a large number of degrees of freedom is needed. In this study, the feedback control is chosen to be an optimal linear quadratic regulator. The optimal actuator location problem is reformulated as a convex optimization problem. A subgradient-based optimization scheme which leads to the global solution of the problem is introduced to optimize the actuator locations. The optimization algorithm is applied to optimize the placement of piezoelectric actuators in vibration control of flexible structures. This method is compared with a genetic algorithm, and is observed to be faster in finding the global optimum. Moreover, by expanding the desired shape into the structure’s modes of vibration, a methodology for shape control of structures is presented. Applying this method, locations of piezoelectric actuators on flexible structures are optimized. Very few experimental studies exist on shape and vibration control of structures. To the best knowledge of the author, optimal actuator placement in shape control has not been experimentally studied in the past. In this work, vibration control of a cantilever beam is investigated for various actuator locations and the effect of optimal actuator placement is studied on suppressing disturbances to the beam. Also using the proposed shape control method, the effect of optimal actuator placement is studied on the same beam. The final shape of the beam and input voltages of actuators are compared for various actuator placements.

Abstract:

Helicopters suffer from severe vibration levels compared to fixed-wing aircraft. The main source of vibration in a helicopter is the main rotor which operates in a highly unsteady aerodynamic environment. Active vibration control methods are effective in helicopter vibration suppression since they can adapt to various flight conditions and often involve low weight penalty. One such method is the actively controlled flap (ACF) approach. In the ACF approach, a trailing-edge flap (TEF) located in each rotor blade is deflected at higher harmonics of rotor frequency to reduce vibratory loads at the rotor hub. The ACF approach is attractive because of its simplicity in practical implementation, low actuation power and enhanced airworthiness, since the flap control is independent of the primary control system. Multiple-flaps are better suited to modify the aerodynamic loading over the rotor blade and hence offer more flexibility compared to a single flap. They also provide the advantage of redundancy over single-flap configuration. However, issues like the number, location and size of these individual flaps need to be addressed based on logic and a suitable performance criteria. Preliminary studies on a 4-bladed hingeless rotor using simple aerodynamic and wake models predict that multiple-flaps are capable of 70-75 percent reduction in hub vibration levels. Numerical studies confirm that multiple-flaps require significantly less control effort as compared to single-flap configuration for obtaining similar reductions in hub vibration levels. Detailed studies include more accurate aerodynamic and wake models for the rotor with TEF’s. A simple and efficient flap control algorithm is chosen from literature and modified for use in multiple-flap configuration to actuate every flap near complete authority. The flap algorithm is computationally efficient and performs creditably at both high and low forward speeds. This algorithm works reasonably well in the presence of zero-mean Gaussian noise in hub load data. It is also fairly insensitive to small changes in plant parameters, such as, blade mass and stiffness properties. The optimal locations of multiple TEF’s for maximum reduction in hub vibration are determined using Response Surface methodology. Piezoelectric stack actuators are the most promising candidates for actuation of full-scale TEF’s on helicopter rotors. A major limitation of piezoelectric actuators is their lack of accuracy due to nonlinearity and hysteresis. The hysteresis in the actuators is modeled using the classical Preisach model (CPM). Experimental data from literature is used to estimate the Preisach distribution function. The hub vibration in this case is reduced by about 81-86 percent from baseline conditions. The performance of the ACF mechanism can be further improved by using an accurate hysteresis compensation scheme. However, using a linear model for the piezoelectric actuator or an inaccurate compensation scheme can lead to deterioration in ACF performance. Finally, bench-top experiments are conducted on a commercially available piezostack actuator (APA500L from CEDRAT Technologies) to study its dynamic hysteresis characteristics. A rate-dependent dynamic hysteresis model based on CPM is used to model the actuator. The unknown coefficients in the model are identified using experiments and validated. Numerical simulations show the importance of modeling actuator hysteresis in helicopter vibration control using TEF’s. A final configuration of multiple flaps is then proposed by including the effects of actuator hysteresis and using the response surface approach to determine the optimal flap locations. It is found that dynamic hysteresis not only affects the vibration reduction levels but also the optimal location of the TEF's.
