This thesis presents a study in which a robust Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is designed to suppress both free and the first resonance of a piezo-beam even if the position of the tip mass located on the beam varies. The cantilever aluminum piezo-beam involves the piezoelectric patches bonded on the surfaces to be used as a sensor and actuator for the vibration control and the displaceable tip mass attached to the free end of the piezo-beam and used to change the system parameters for checking the robustness of the designed controller. At first, the experimental setup for actively controlled piezo-beam is introduced and the system identification of the piezo-beam for all positions of the tip mass is performed. The frequency response functions are then investigated via the System Identification Toolbox in Matlab in order to be used in the simulation studies. Then, a FLC is designed via Fuzzy Logic Toolbox in Matlab. The performance of the FLC is the evaluated through various simulation and experimental studies such as free vibration suppression, forced vibration suppression at the first resonance frequency and the forced vibration suppression within the frequency span covering the first resonance of the piezo-beam. Moreover, the performance in the robustness of the FLC is investigated by changing the position of the tip mass. This thesis shows that the first resonance of the piezo-beam is suppressed by the designed FLC developed for a certain position of the tip mass even if the dynamics of the piezo-beam is changed due to change in the position of the tip mass by providing a certain degree of robustness.

Active Vibration Suppression of a Smart Beam by Using an LQG Control Algorithm
Onat, Cem; Şahin, Melin; Yaman, Yavuz (2011-06-22)
The aim of this study was to design and experimentally apply a Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller for the active vibration suppression of a smart beam. The smart beam was a cantilever aluminum beam with eight symmetrically located surface-bonded PZT (Lead-Zirconate-Titanate) patches which were utilized both as sensor or actuator depending on their location. A group of PZT patches closed to the root of the beam was used as actuators in the bimorph configuration and a single patch was nominated as a s...

In this paper, an active vibration suppression of a smart beam using self-sensing piezoelectric actuator is presented. The smart beam is composed of a cantilever aluminium beam with four surface-bonded piezoelectric patches symmetrically located both side of the beam. Piezoelectric materials can transform mechanical deformation to electric signal and vice versa. This property of piezoelectric materials enables them to be used as an actuator and a sensor. In self-sensing actuator configuration, the piezoelec...

Gulen, Demet (2012-03-01)
Significance of the Lorentzian dispersion relationship in controlling the optical response of the nanospheres surrounded by a homogeneous non-absorbing dielectric medium is examined. Nanospheres with size much smaller than the wavelength of the incident light are considered as prototype systems that can cover the generic optical response of Lorentzian nanoparticles. Absorption cross-section of the Lorentzian nanospheres is treated in the quasistatic approximation of classical electrodynamics and the resulti...

This paper presents the design of an optimal vibration control mechanism, namely an LQR controller, with a Luenberger observer for a smart beam having surface bonded piezoelectric sensors and actuators. The approach intends to suppress the vibrations of the first flexural resonance of the smart beam. The smart beam studied was a cantilever aluminium beam with eight surface bonded Lead-Zirconate-Titanate (PZT) patches in bimorph configuration. The smart beam was excited at its first resonance frequency (appr...
