Özet

It is possible to model smart structures with piezoelectric materials using the product ANSYS/Multiphysics. In this study, the integration of control actions into the ANSYS solution is realized. First, the procedure is tested on the active vibration control problem with a two-degrees of freedom system. The analytical results obtained by the Laplace transform method and by ANSYS are compared. Then, the smart structures are studied by ANSYS. The input reference value is taken as zero in the closed loop vibration control. The instantaneous value of the strain at the sensor location at a time step is subtracted from zero to find the error signal value. The error value is multiplied by the control gain to calculate the voltage value which is used as the input to the actuator nodes. The process is continued with the selected time step until the steady-state value is approximately reached. The results are obtained for the structures analyzed in other studies. The active vibration control of a circular disc is also studied.
