Abstract

A nonlinear active vibration absorber to control the vibrations of plates is investigated. The absorber is based on the saturation phenomenon associated with dynamical systems with quadratic nonlinearities and a two-to-one internal resonance. The technique is implemented by coupling a second-order controller with the plate's response through a sensor and an actuator. Energy is exchanged between the primary structure and the controller and, near resonance, the plate's response saturates to a small value. Numerical results are presented for a cantilever rectangular plate. Modal analysis is used to solve for the plate displacement. Finite-element methods are used to extract the eigenmodes of the system. A numerical study is conducted to optimize the location of the actuators to maximize its controllability. In this regard, the control gain is maximized for the PZT actuators. Furthermore, a more general method is introduced, which is based on a global measure of controllability for linear systems.
