This study presents a µ-synthesis active vibration control technique applied to the sinusoidally forced vibrations of a smart fin. The smart fin consists of a cantilever aluminum passive plate-like structure with surface bonded piezoelectric (PZT, LeadZirconate-Titanate) patches. The study presents the design of controllers via µsynthesis, which effectively suppress the vibrations of the smart fin due to its first flexural and first torsional modes. Two different experimental set-ups are used in the study. In the first set-up the response is acquired by the strain gages and the vibration suppression is achieved by using Sensortech SS10 controller unit. In the second set-up the response is obtained by using a laser displacement sensor and the vibrations are suppressed through LabVIEW based programs. The effectiveness of the µ-synthesis technique in active vibration control of the smart fin is also presented.

This study presents the design and implementation of a spatial H-infinity 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 t...

This study presents an active vibration control technique applied to a smart beam. The smart beam consists of an aluminum beam modeled in cantilevered configuration with surface bonded piezoelectric (PZT) patches. The study uses ANSYS (v5.6) package program. The study first investigates the effects of element selection in finite element modeling. The effects of the piezoelectric patches on the resonance frequencies of the smart structure are also shown. The developed finite element model is reduced to a sta...
Measurement of ground borne vibrations for foundation design and vibration isolation of a high-precision instrument
ÜLGEN, DENİZ; ERTUĞRUL, ÖZGÜR LÜTFİ; Özkan, M. Yener (2016-11-01)
This study focuses on the foundation design and vibration isolation of a high-precision instrument subjected to ground-borne vibrations. The allowable vibration level for the proper operation of the sensitive equipment was 50 mu g in a frequency range of 1-300 Hz. Prior to foundation design, first, an extensive field survey including geological and geophysical tests were performed in situ to obtain the static and dynamic physical properties of the soils. Next, vibration levels at various locations in the vi...
Experimental characterization of a tuned vibration absorber
Aksoy, Tuğrul; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Acar, Bülent; Gençoğlu, Caner (2016-01-01)
In this paper, experimental characterization studies conducted for a tuned vibration absorber is presented. The tuned vibration absorber has been particularly designed to reduce transverse resonant vibration response of a supported cylinder structure at its dominant two modes. Various testing configurations and techniques have been used such as transmissibility measurements, frequency response measurements, sweep sine testing, impact testing, and random testing. Different testing approaches were needed to e...
