Piezoelectric Actuators for Distributed Vibration Excitation of Thin Plates
TLDR
In this article, the authors demonstrate that modes can be selectively excited and that the geometry of the actuator shape markedly affects the distribution of the response among modes, and that it is possible to tailor the shape of an actuator to either excite or suppress particular modes.Abstract:
The results demonstrate that modes can be selectively excited and that the geometry of the actuator shape markedly affects the distribution of the response among modes. It thus appears possible to tailor the shape of the actuator to either excite or suppress particular modes leading to improved control behaviorread more
