Abstract
In this article, the active vibration control of a smart structure made out of a single functionally graded piezoelectric material layer, equipped with a network of discrete electrodes, is studied. The material properties vary continuously across the direction of thickness, so that top and bottom surfaces consist of pure PZT4 and the mid surface is composed of pure aluminium. The percolation phenomenon is taken into account. A functionally graded piezoelectric material plate finite element based on the first-order shear deformation theory hypothesis and layer-wise approximation for electric potential is implemented. An optimization procedure is considered to define the relevant electrodes for actuators and sensors, based on controllable and observable criteria. An adaptative fuzzy controller system is used, activating with relevance the actuators according to the most excited eigenmodes. Simulations show the effectiveness of this kind of concept.
