- Abstract
- The paper presents active control of smart structures within a focused frame of piezoelectric applications in active vibration and noise attenuation with potential applications in mechanical and civil engineering. Smart structure has become an increasingly common term describing a structure embedded or bonded with a large number of lightweight active electro-mechanical sensors and actuators. In this paper, we consider the modelling and control issues related to smart structures bonded with piezoelectric sensors and actuators with emphasis on robust control design taking into account structural uncertainties using the H Infinity control theory. The results show that the vibrations can be significantly suppressed by H Infinity controller.
