Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the active control of random vibration for laminated composite plates using piezoelectric fiber reinforced composites (PFRC). With Hamilton’s principle and the Rayleigh-Ritz method, the equation of motion for the resulting electromechanical coupling system is derived. A velocity feedback control rule is employed to obtain an effective active damping in the suppression of random vibration. The power spectral density and mean-square displacements of the random vibration for laminated plates under different control gains are simulated and the validity of the present control strategy is confirmed. The effect of piezoelectric fiber orientation in the PFRC layer on the random vibration suppression is also investigated. The analytical methodology can be expanded to other kinds of random vibration.
