Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of the position of piezoelectric actuators on the vibration control effect of the membrane plane composed of solar sail materials with a given unit area. Firstly, the nonlinear vibration equation of the membrane structure is perfected based on the system equation established by Yifan Lu et al. Then, the modal coupling effect pointed out by Liu Xiang is considered, and the fourth-order modal displacement generated by the piezoelectric actuator in vibration control is derived. Subsequently, the sliding mode controller used in vibration control is designed based on Lyapunov stability theory, and its effectiveness is verified through Simulink simulation. The sliding mode controller is used to calculate the required excitation signal and apply it to the piezoelectric patches. The reverse force is generated through the inverse piezoelectric effect of the patches to actively suppress the vibration of the solar sail. By changing the position and size of each piezoelectric actuator on the solar sail plane, this paper compares the impact of different layout positions on vibration control, and proposes an optimal layout scheme for the position of the piezoelectric patches in terms of control effectiveness.
