Control of geometrically nonlinear vibrations of skew laminated composite plates using skew or rectangular 1–3 piezoelectric patches

This paper deals with the analysis of active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of geometrically nonlinear transient vibrations of skew laminated composite plates using skew or rectangular patches of the ACLD treatment. The constraining layer of the patch of the ACLD treatment is composed of the vertically/obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composite material. The Golla–Hughes–McTavish method has been used to model the constrained viscoelastic layer of the ACLD treatment in the time domain. A coupled electromechanical nonlinear three dimensional finite element model of skew laminated thin composite plates integrated with the skew or rectangular patches of ACLD treatment has been derived. The performance of the patches is investigated for different configurations of their placements on the top surface of the skew substrate plates. The analysis reveals that the ACLD treatment significantly improves the active damping characteristics of the skew laminated composite plates over the passive damping for suppressing their geometrically nonlinear transient vibrations. It is found that even though the substrate laminated plates are skew, a rectangular patch of the ACLD treatment located at the centre of the top surface of the substrate should be used for optimum damping of geometrically nonlinear vibrations of skew laminated composite plates irrespective of their skew angles and boundary conditions. The effects of piezoelectric fiber orientation angle and the skew angles of the substrate plates on the control authority of the ACLD patches have been emphatically investigated.     

Active constrained layer damping of geometrically nonlinear vibration of rotating composite beams using 1-3 piezoelectric composite

In this paper, an analysis for active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of rotating composite beams undergoing geometrically non linear vibrations has been carried out. Commercially available vertically/obliquely reinforced 1-3 piezoelectric composite (PZC) material has been used as the material of the constraining layer of the ACLD treatment. A finite element (FE) model has been derived to carry out the analysis. The substrate beam is considered thin and hence, first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and von-Karman type nonlinear strain–displacement relations are used to derive the coupled electromechanical nonlinear FE model. The rotary effect has been suitably modelled by incorporating extensional strain energy due to centrifugal force. The Golla–Hughes–McTavish method has been employed to model the constrained viscoelastic layer of the ACLD treatment in the time domain. The numerical responses revealed that the ACLD treatment with 1-3 PZC constraining layer efficiently performs the task of active damping of geometrically nonlinear vibrations of the rotating composite beams. The effects of the fibre orientation angles of the angle-ply substrate beams and the 1-3 PZC constraining layer on the ACLD of the geometrically nonlinear vibrations have been investigated. Also, the effect of the thickness variations of the 1-3 PZC layer and the viscoelastic constrained layer on the damping characteristics of the overall rotating composite beams has been studied.     

Analysis of smart damping of laminated composite beams using mesh free method

This paper is concerned with the development of mesh free model for the performance analysis of active constrained layered damping (ACLD) treatments on smart laminated composite beams. The overall structure is composed of a substrate laminated composite beam integrated with a viscoelastic layer and a piezoelectric layer attached partially or fully at the top surface of the substrate beam. The piezoelectric layer acts as the active constraining layer of the smart beam and the viscoelastic layer acts as the constrained layer. A layer wise displacement theory has been used to derive the models. Both symmetric cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply laminated beams are considered for the numerical analysis. It is observed that ACLD treatment significantly improves the active damping properties of the substrate beam. The numerical results also reveal that the triangular ACLD treatment is more effective than the rectangular ACLD treatment of same thickness and volume for active damping of smart composite beams.

Hybrid damping of smart, functionally graded plates using piezoelectric, fiber-reinforced composites

This paper deals with the investigation of active, constrained layer damping (ACLD) of smart, functionally graded (FG) plates. The constraining layer of the ACLD treatment is considered to be made of a piezoelectric, fiber-reinforced composite (PFRC) material with enhanced effective piezoelectric coefficient that quantifies the in-plane actuating force due to the electric field applied across the thickness of the layer. The Young's modulus and the mass density of the FG plates are assumed to vary exponentially along the thickness of the plate, and the Poisson's ratio is assumed to be constant over the domain of the plate. A finite-element model has been developed to model the open-loop and closed-loop dynamics of the FG plates integrated with two patches of ACLD treatment. The frequency response of the plates revealed that the active patches of ACLD treatment significantly improve the damping characteristics of the FG plates over the passive damping. Emphasis has been placed on investigating the effect of variation of piezoelectric fiber angle in the constraining layer of the ACLD treatment on the attenuating capability of the patches. The analysis also revealed that the activated patches of the ACLD treatment are more effective in controlling the vibrations of FG plates when the patches are attached to the surface of the FG plates with minimum stiffness than when they are attached to the surface of the same with maximum stiffness.     

Active control of large amplitude vibrations of smart magneto–electro–elastic doubly curved shells

This paper deals with the analysis of active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of large amplitude vibrations of smart magneto–electro–elastic (MEE) doubly curved shells. The constraining layer of the ACLD treatment is composed of the vertically/obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composite (PZC). The constrained viscoelastic layer of the ACLD treatment is modeled by using the Golla–Hughes–McTavish method in the time domain. A three-dimensional finite element model of the overall smart MEE doubly curved shells has been developed taking into account the effects of electro–elastic and magneto–elastic couplings, while the von Kármán type nonlinear strain displacement relations are used for incorporating the geometric nonlinearity. Influence of the curvature ratio, the curvature aspect ratio, the thickness aspect ratio on the nonlinear frequency ratios of the MEE doubly curved shells has been investigated. Effects of the location of the ACLD patches and the edge boundary conditions on the control of geometrically nonlinear vibrations of paraboloid and hyperboloid MEE shells have been studied. Particular attention has been paid to investigate the performance of the ACLD treatment due to the variation of the piezoelectric fiber orientation angle in the 1–3 PZC constraining layer of the ACLD treatment.

The numerical results indicate that the ACLD patches significantly improve the damping characteristics of the sandwich plates with laminated cross-ply and angle-ply facings for suppressing their geometrically nonlinear vibrations. Particular emphasis has been placed on investigating the effect of the variation of piezoelectric fiber orientation angle on the performance of the ACLD treatment.

Finite element modelling of hybrid active–passive vibration damping of multilayer piezoelectric sandwich beams—part II: System analysis

An electromechanically coupled finite element model has been presented in Part 1 of this paper in order to handle active–passive damped multilayer sandwich beams, consisting of a viscoelastic core sandwiched between layered piezoelectric faces. Its validation is achieved, in the present part, through modal analysis comparisons with numerical and experimental results found in the literature. After its validation, the new finite element is applied to the constrained optimal control of a sandwich cantilever beam with viscoelastic core through a pair of attached piezoelectric actuators. The hybrid damping performance of this five‐layer configuration is studied under viscoelastic layer thickness and actuator length variations. It is shown that hybrid active–passive damping allows to increase damping of some selected modes while preventing instability of uncontrolled ones and that modal damping distribution can be optimized by proper choice of the viscoelastic material thickness.

Smart damping of geometrically nonlinear vibrations of functionally graded sandwich plates using 1–3 piezoelectric composites

Geometrically nonlinear dynamic analysis of smart functionally graded (FG) sandwich plates integrated with the patches of active constrained layer damping (ACLD) treatment has been carried out by the finite element method. The constraining layer of the ACLD treatment is considered to be made of vertically/obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composite while the constrained layer is made of a viscoelastic material, which is modeled using the Golla–Hughes–McTavish method in the time domain. The top and bottom faces of the substrate sandwich plate are composed of the FG isotropic material whose mechanical properties are assumed to vary according to a standard power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents while the core layer may be either a soft honeycomb material or a hard ceramic material. Several FG sandwich plates with different core configurations are studied to evaluate the numerical results. The numerical results indicate that the ACLD patches significantly improve the damping characteristics of the FG sandwich plates for suppressing their geometrically nonlinear vibrations. Effects of metal- or ceramic-rich top and bottom surfaces, the variation of power-law index on the control authority of the ACLD patches have been investigated. Emphasis has also been placed on investigating the effect of the variation of piezoelectric fiber orientation angle on the performance of the ACLD patches.

Performance of piezoelectric fiber-reinforced composites for active structural-acoustic control of laminated composite plates

This paper deals with the active structural acoustic control of thin laminated composite plates using piezoelectric fiber-reinforced composite (PFRC) material for the constraining layer of active constrained layer damping (ACLD) treatment. A finite element model is developed for the laminated composite plates integrated with the patches of ACLD treatment to describe the coupled structural-acoustic behavior of the plates enclosing an acoustic cavity.

Experimental study on vibration and damping of curved panel treated with constrained viscoelastic layer

This paper presents experimental investigation on the damping effects of constrained layer damping treatment on a curved panel. Vibration attenuation of the curved panel is achieved by attaching constraining layer damping patches at the optimal locations. The placement strategies of constrained layer patches are devised using the modal strain energy (MSE) method. Locations for application of damping patches are those, where modal strain energy is maximum for the particular mode. The treatment is then applied to the elements that have highest MSE in order to target specific modes of vibrations. Extensive experiments are conducted by making number of separate samples of viscoelastic and constrained layer damping patches for each configuration to damp different modes simultaneously or independently. The experimental results demonstrate utility of the modal strain energy technique as an effective tool for selecting the locations of the constrained layer damping treatment to achieve desired damping characteristics over a broad frequency band.
