Abstract

This paper aims to use H2 and H∞ norms to optimally place sensor/actuator patches on a flexible structure. Unlike most existing optimization methods, the proposed approach not only increases the norms of the controlled modes of the system but also it can reduce the system's spillover problems by taking into account the residual modes and reducing systems H2 and H∞ norms. The residual vibration of the system is captured considering sandwich structures and the finite element analysis. In order to show the optimal placement effect of piezoelectric patches, the vibrational behavior of the closed-loop system is controlled using strain rate feedback controller. Numerical simulation is performed to study the debonding effects between the sandwich layers.
