Abstract
This study proposes novel development of piezoelectric actuators as elements of smart structures. The primary goal of this work is to control actively the vibrations of smart structures by using a decomposed parallel fuzzy control approach. This study attempts to demonstrate the general methodology by decomposing a large-scale system into smaller subsystems in a parallel structure so that the proposed fuzzy control methodology developed here can be applied for studying a complex system. The paper shows a very promising application field, while the results obtained show that the fuzzy approach can be much better than other conventional control methods used till now. Consequently, the creation of new control structures is very important for new application possibilities of fuzzy control because they enable one to minimize the completeness of the problem solved as well as to utilize the capacity of computational technologies in full range.
