Considering the number of applications, and the quantity of research conducted over the past few decades, it wouldn't be an overstatement to label the piezoelectric materials as the cream of the crop of the smart materials. Among the various smart materials, the piezoelectric materials have emerged as the most researched material for practical applications. They owe it to a few key factors like low cost, large frequency bandwidth of operation, availability in many forms, and the simplicity offered in handling and implementation. For piezoelectric materials, from an application standpoint, the area of active control of vibration, noise, and flow, stands, alongside energy harvesting, as the most researched field. Over the past three decades, several authors have used piezoelectric materials as sensors and actuators, to (i) actively control structural vibrations, noise and aeroelastic flutter, (ii) actively reduce buffeting, and (iii) regulate the separation of flows. These studies are spread over several engineering disciplines-starting from large space structures, to civil structures, to helicopters and airplanes, to computer hard disk drives. This review is an attempt to concise the progress made in all these fields by exclusively highlighting the application of the piezoelectric material. The research carried out in the past five years, in the areas of modeling, and optimal positioning of piezoelectric actuators/sensors, for active vibration control, are covered. Along with this, investigations into different control algorithms, for the piezoelectric based active vibration control, are also reviewed. Studies reporting the use of piezoelectric modal filtering and self sensing actuators, for active vibration control, are also surveyed. Additionally, research on semi-active vibration control techniques like the synchronized switched damping (on elements like resistor, inductor, voltage source, negative capacitor) has also been covered

Review on the use of piezoelectric materials for active vibration, noise, and flow control

Magnetorheological elastomer composites: Modeling and dynamic finite element analysis

The novelty of this study is using the analytical approach to investigate the nonlinear dynamic response and vibration of shear deformable functionally graded truncated conical panel with piezoelectric actuators, resting on Pasternak type elastic foundations in thermal environments. Material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the fractions of constituents. The governing equations are derived based on the first order shear deformation shell theory with a von Karman – Donnell type of kinematic nonlinearity in which the Hamilton's principle is used to derive the equations of motion of piezoelectric functionally graded truncated conical panel. The those equations are solved by the Galerkin method and Runge – Kutta method to determine the nonlinear deflection amplitude – time curves and natural frequency of the functionally graded panel. In numerical results, the effects of applied actuator voltage, temperature increment, dimensional parameters, semi – vertex angle, material properties and elastic foundations on the nonlinear dynamic response and vibration of the piezoelectric functionally graded truncated conical panel are discussed in details. The approach are verified with the known results in the literature.

Active Control of Plates Made of Functionally Graded Piezoelectric Material Subjected to Thermo-Electro-Mechanical Loads

This paper aims to explore the working mechanism of sandwich-like meta-plates by periodically attaching nonlinear mass-beam-spring resonators for low-frequency wave attenuation. The nonlinear MBS resonator consists of a mass, a cantilever beam, and a spring to provide negative stiffness in the transverse vibration of the resonator; this stiffness is tunable by changing the parameters of the spring. Considering the nonlinear stiffness of the resonator, the energy method is applied to obtain the dispersion relation of the sandwich-like meta-plate, and the band-gap bounds related to the amplitude of the resonator are derived by dispersion analysis. For a finite-sized sandwich-like meta-plate with a fully free boundary condition subjected to external excitations, its dynamic equation is established by the Galerkin method. The frequency response analysis of the meta-plate is carried out by numerical simulation, with the band-gap range obtained in good agreement with that of the theoretical one. Results show that the band-gap range of the present meta-plate is tunable by designing the structural parameters of the MBS resonator. Furthermore, by analyzing the vibration suppression of the finite-sized meta-plate, it is observed that the nonlinearity of the resonators can widen the wave attenuation range of the meta-plate.
