Active control of a smart beam with time delay by Legendre wavelets

Active vibration control in a flexible beam is investigated by taking into account the time-delay which may occur in voltage controlled piezoelectric actuators. The voltage applied to a piezoelectric patch actuator to suppress the dynamic responses of the beam at a specified terminal time is computed by solving an optimal control problem. The quadratic performance index function consists of related potential energy and kinetic energy at the terminal time as well as control effort as a penalty term. The solution method is based on a combination of spatial modal expansion and direct approximation approaches. The spatial modal expansion approach is used to transfer the optimal control problem of distributed parameter system (DPS) into the optimal control problem of a linear time-invariant lumped parameter system (LPS). A direct state-control parametrization approach is formulated where Legendre wavelets are employed to solve time delayed LPS. The operational matrices of integration and delay are utilized to reduce the solution of linear time-varying delayed systems to the solution of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the applicability and the efficiency of the proposed method and the numerical results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed control mechanism.

Evaluation of T‐stresses in multiple crack problems of finite plate

ABSTRACTThis paper provides a solution for T‐stresses for multiple cracks in a finite plate. The results for stress intensity factors (SIFs) are also presented. The case of two cracks in a rectangular plate is taken as an example. In the problem, the crack faces are applied by some loadings, and tractions are free along edges of a rectangular plate. The whole stress field is considered as a superposition of three particular stress fields. The first and second stress fields are initiated by loadings on the first and second crack faces in an infinite plate. The third field is chosen in a polynomial form of complex potentials. After discretization, the loadings on two cracks and the undetermined coefficients in the complex potentials become the unknowns. The relevant algebraic equations are formulated. The solution of algebraic equations will lead to the results of SIFs and T‐stresses at the crack tips. Several numerical examples are presented, which were not reported previously.

Free convection in a triangle cavity filled with a porous medium saturated with nanofluids with flush mounted heater on the wall

Steady-state free convection heat transfer behavior of nanofluids is investigated numerically inside a right-angle triangular enclosure filled with a porous medium. The flush mounted heater with finite size is placed on the left vertical wall. The temperature of the inclined wall is lower than the heater, and the rest of walls are adiabatic. The governing equations are obtained based on the Darcy’s law and the nanofluid model proposed by Tiwari and Das [1]. The transformed dimensionless governing equations were solved by finite difference method and solution for algebraic equations was obtained through Successive Under Relaxation method. Investigations with three types of nanofluids were made for different values of Rayleigh number Ra of a porous medium with the range of 10 ≤ Ra ≤ 1000, size of heater Ht as 0.1 ≤ Ht ≤ 0.9, position of heater Y p when 0.25 ≤ Y p ≤ 0.75, enclosure aspect ratio AR as 0.5 ≤ AR ≤ 1.5 and solid volume fraction parameter ϕ of nanofluids with the range of 0.0 ≤ ϕ ≤ 0.2. It is found that the maximum value of average Nusselt number is obtained by decreasing the enclosure aspect ratio and lowering the heater position with the highest value of Rayleigh number and the largest size of heater. It is further observed that the heat transfer in the cavity is improved with the increasing of solid volume fraction parameter of nanofluids at low Rayleigh number, but opposite effects appear when the Rayleigh number is high.
