Although piezoelectric materials such as PZT have been widely used as actuators in the field of active vibration suppression, the use of bare PZT as an actuator may cause some drawbacks such as critical breaks in the installation process, short circuits in the host material and low fatigue performance. The LIPCA-C2 (lightweight piezocomposite actuator) was developed to alleviate these problems. We implemented the LIPCA as an actuator to suppress the vibration of an aluminum cantilever beam with a tip mass. In our test, we used positive position feedback control algorithm. The filter frequency for this type of feedback should be tuned to the natural frequency of the target mode. The first three experimental natural frequencies of the aluminum cantilever beam agree well with the results of finite element analysis. The effectiveness of using the LIPCA as an actuator in active vibration suppression was investigated with respect to the time and frequency domains, and the experimental results show that LIPCAs with PPF control can significantly reduce the amplitude of forced vibrations and the settling time of free vibrations. For a case study, the forced vibration control of several beams with different thicknesses were performed.

This paper is concerned with $H_2$ control design for active vibration control of a plate vibration system. We construct a plate vibration system with a plate, PZT ceramics actuators and sensors. The plate titration system is MIMO system and its transfer matrix is obtained by system identification experiments. We design a $H_2$ controller using the state space model obtained from system identification. Effectiveness and performance of the designed controller are verified by both simulation and experiment results.

Mathematical modeling and vibration control of a tiltrotor aircraft composite wing-rotor system are investigated in this study. A wing-mounted rotor can be tilted from the vertical position to a horizontal one, and vice versa. Effect of vibration control of the wing-rotor system via piezoelectricity is studied as a function of tilt angle, ply angle of composite wing and rotor's spin speed. Composite wing is modeled as a thin-walled box beam having a circumferentially uniform stiffness configuration that produces elastic coupling between flap-lag and between extension-twist behavior. Numerical simulations are provided and pertinent conclusions are outlined.

This study has been conducted to investigate flow characteristics of a micropump with piezoelectric materials. In this study, the change of flow rates has been investigated for different positions of the inlet and outlet and for different distances between them. The FSI(Fluid Structure Interaction) method has been employed for numerical analysis of the piezoelectric diffuser/nozzle based micropump. It has been found that time averaged flow rate is greater in the case that distance between the inlet and outlet is longer. For the cases where the positions of the inlet are different with the position of the fixed outlet at the center, the flow rate is increased as the inlet is located farther from the center. This study may supply fundamental understandings for the design and analysis of the prototypes of piezoelectric micropumps.

In this work, we developed a new type ultrasonic dehumidifier with piezoelectric ceramics, which and efficiently repel waterdrops on outdoor glass plates exposed to raindrops. Through finite element analysis of a certain type of glass plates to analyze its dynamic behavior, the structure of the ultrasonic device we determined to get the optimal performance. A supplemental metal plate was attached to the glass plate for uniform cleaning. Based on the theoretical results, experimental samples were fabricated and evaluated with various dimensions of the glass plate and the piezoceramic vibrator. Driving circuit for the dehumidifier made use of the frequency sweeping technique to keep track of the resonant frequency of the glass plate that was variant with environmental conditions.

This paper presents an approach to define an optimal piezoactuator length to actively control structural vibration. The optimal ratio of the piezoactuator length against the beam length when a pair of piezoceramic actuator and accelerometer is used to suppress unwanted vibration with direct velocity feedback(DVFB) control strategy is not clearly defined so far. It is well known that DVFB control can be very useful when a pair of sensor and actuator is collocated on structures with a high gain and excellent stability. It is considered that three different collocated Pairs of piezoelectric actuators (20, 50 and 100 mm long) and accelerometers installed on three identical clamped-clamped beams($30{\times}20{\times}1mm$). The response of each sensor-actuator pair requires strictly positive real(SPR) property to apply a high feedback gain. However the length of the piezoactuator affects the SPR property of the sensor-actuator response. Intensive simulation and experiment show the effect of the actuator length variation is strongly related with the frequency range of the SPR property. Thus an optimal length ratio was suggested to obtain relevant performance with a good stability under the DVFB strategy.

In this paper, in order to derive the current-voltage characteristics of n-AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with the piezoelectric and spontaneous polarizations, we suggested analytical solutions for the two-dimensional Poisson equation in the AlGaN and GaN regions by taking into account the longitudinal field variation, field-dependent mobility, and the continuity condition of the channel current flowing in the quantum well. Obtained expressions for long and short channel devices would be applicable to the entire operating regions in a unified manner. Simulation results show that the drain saturation current increases and the cutoff voltage decreases as drain voltage increases. Compared with the conventional models, the present model seems to provide more reasonable explanation for the drain-induced threshold voltage roll-off and the channel length modulation effect.
