Due to their special characteristics, piezoelectric materials can be used in distributed
behavior sensing and control of flexible structures. These materials are usually incorporated …

Smart materials and structures have attracted a significant amount of attention for their
vibration control potential in engineering applications. Compared to the traditional active …

This paper is concerned with the active vibration control of a grid structure equipped with
piezoceramic sensors and actuators. The grid structure is a replica of the solar panel …

Abstract Space manipulators are flexible structures. Vibration problem will be unavoidable
due to motion or external disturbance excitation. Model based control methods will not …

This paper is concerned with the design and implementation of active vibration control
based on fuzzy logic and neural networks (NNs). The controller is used to dampen the end …

To reduce the end-point vibration of a single-link flexible manipulator without sacrificing its
speed of response is a very challenging problem since the faster the motion, the larger the …

The behaviour of a piezoelectric actuator is strongly affected by the bonding condition along
the interface between the actuator and the host structure. The current paper represents an …

In this article, active vibration control of a piezo laminated smart structure is presented using
poling tuned piezoelectric material. To improve the performance of existing materials and …

This paper presents fuzzy logic based independent modal space control (IMSC) and fuzzy
logic based modified independent modal space control (MIMSC) of vibration. The rule base …

Solar panels on spacecraft are typical kinds of flexible structures. Low‐frequency and large‐
amplitude vibrations usually occur due to the inevitable disturbances of deployment impact …
