Abstract

Taguchi method is used to determine the optimal configuration of PZT (Lead Zirconate-Titanate) patch on the host structure for improving the performance of piezoelectric shunt system. The charges generated on the surface of PZT patch are selected to be the objective function in the Taguchi method. Full three dimensional finite element models are used to simulate vibration of smart panel and to obtain the admittance of the piezoelectric shunt system. Using Taguchi method in Minitab, the optimal model is obtained. The experiment with piezoelectric shunt circuit is performed to verify the validity of the optimal model comparing with initial model.
