Due to their low mass and conformability, actuators and sensors made of active materials can be used in the vibration control of inflatable structures. In this study, we model piezoelectric patches attached to an inflated toroidal shell as actuators and sensors. Using Sanders' shell theory in the pr

It was noted that a fully (symmetrically) distributed piezoelectric sensor/actuator could lead to minimum, or zero, sensing/control effects for antisymmetrical modes of structures, especially with symmetrical boundary conditions. One method to improve the performance is to segment the symmetrically
This paper presents the theoretical formulation of generic frequency response functions (FRFs) for continuous systems associated with various forms of actuation and sensing methods. The generic actuator and sensor eigenfunctions are identified and interpreted physically. The FRF can then be expresse
A dual approach based on both structural tailoring and piezoelectric strain actuation, aimed at controlling the free vibration and stability of a spinning circular shaft subjected to axial forces is presented. Due to the involvement in these structural systems of gyroscopic forces and, consequently,
It is well known that the unmodelled dynamics may deteriorate the e$ciency of a controller if the controller is not robust enough. This paper presents a robust H vibration control method for high-speed #exible linkage mechanism systems with piezoelectric actuators and sensors. The robust H controlle
Distributed piezoelectric layers can be used as distributed sensors and actuators for structural monitoring and control of elastic continua. In this paper, distributed vibration sensing and control of continua using single-piece symmetrically distributed and multi-piece segmented sensors/actuators a
