Journal ArticleDOI
Active-passive hybrid piezoelectric networks for vibration control: comparisons and improvement
Jiong Tang,Kon-Well Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the passive damping and active control authority of several basic active-passive hybrid piezoelectric networks are analyzed and compared in a non-dimensional manner, throughout which the importance of the generalized electromechanical coupling coefficient is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the structural damping characteristics of active piezoelectric actuators with passive shunt
Meng-Shiun Tsai,Kon-Well Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented new insights obtained from analyzing the active-passive hybrid piezoelectric network (APPN) concept and showed that the shunt circuit not only can provide passive damping, but also enhances the active action authority if tuned correctly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear-elastic finite axisymmetric deformation of flexible matrix composite membranes under internal pressure and axial force
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the nonlinear-elastic finite axisymmetric deformation of cylindrical flexible matrix composite membranes under internal pressure and external axial force has been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Analysis of Viscoelastic Materials for Active Constrained Layer Damping Treatments
Wei-Hsin Liao,Kon-Well Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of viscoelastic material (VEM) on active constrained layer (ACL) based structures and developed guidelines to synthesize ACL structures that will outperform both the purely passive and active systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural Vibration Control Via Electrorheological-Fluid-Based Actuators With Adaptive Viscous And Frictional Damping
Kon-Well Wang,Y.S. Kim,D.B. Shea +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new control law is developed to maximize the damping effect of electrorheological dampers for structural vibration suppression under actuator constraints and viscous-frictional-combined damping.
