This paper summarizes the design and wind tunnel experimental verifications of robust H∞ controllers for active vibration suppression of a dynamically scaled F-18 vertical smart fin. The smart fin consists of a cantilevered aluminium plate structure with surface bonded piezoelectric (Lead-Zirconate-Titanete, PZT) patches, Integrated Circuit Piezoelectric (ICP) type accelerometers and strain gauges. For H∞ controller design, the transfer function of the fin was first estimated outside the wind tunnel. Then, experiments were carried out to determine the aeroelastic characteristics of the smart fin at free flow and vortical (i.e. buffet) flow conditions. Variable air speeds and Angle of Orientations (AoO) were considered in both flow conditions. Significant shifts in vibration frequencies and the damping ratios were observed at the various values of airspeed and AoO. Taking into account these variations, the H∞ controllers were designed to suppress the fin's buffeting response at the first and second bending and first torsional modes. A second set of wind tunnel experiments was conducted to verify the performance of the designed H∞ controllers at various flow scenarios. Successful vibration suppression levels were obtained within the desired frequency intervals.

Application of spatial h ∞ control technique for active vibration control of a smart beam Ömer Faruk, Kırcalı; Yaman, Yavuz; Volkan, Nalbantoğlu; Şahin, Melin; Fatih Mutlu, Karadal (null; 2007-06-04) This study presents the design and implementation of a spatial H∞ controller for the active vibration control of a cantilevered smart beam. The smart beam consists of a passive aluminum beam (507x51x2mm) and eight symmetrically surface bonded SensorTech BM500 type PZT (Lead-Zirconate-Titanate) patches (25x20x0.5mm). PZT patches are used as actuators and a laser displacement sensor is used as sensor. The smart beam was analytically modelled by using the assumed-modes method. The model only included the first...

Active vibration suppression of a smart beam via self sensing piezoelectric actuator Uğur, Arıdoğan; Şahin, Melin; Yaman, Yavuz; Volkan, Nalbantoğlu (null; 2009-08-17) 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...
Optimizing Single-Span Steel Truss Bridges with Simulated Annealing Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2010-11-01) This study presents applications of a simulated annealing integrated solution algorithm to the optimum design of single-span steel truss bridges subjected to gravity loadings. In the optimum design process of a bridge the members are sized simultaneously as the coordinates of the upper chord nodes are determined such that the least design weight is attained for the structure. The design constraints and limitations are imposed in accordance with serviceability and strength provisions of ASD-AISC (Allowable S...
Active neuro-adaptive vibration suppression of a smart beam Akin, Onur; Şahin, Melin (2017-12-01) In this research, an active vibration suppression of a smart beam having piezoelectric sensor and actuators is investigated by designing separate controllers comprising a linear quadratic regulator and a neural network. Firstly, design of a smart beam which consists of a cantilever aluminum beam with surface bonded piezoelectric patches and a designed mechanism having a micro servomotor with a mass attached arm for obtaining variations in the frequency response function are presented. Secondly, the frequenc...
