This paper presents some examples of active control of flow-induced vibration using piezoelectric actuators. The flutter phenomenon, which is the dynamic instability of structure due to mutual interaction among inertia, stiffness, and aerodynamic forces, may cause catastrophic structural failure, and therefore the active flutter suppression is one of the main objectives of the aeroelastic control. Active flutter control has been numerically and experimentally studied for swept-back lifting surfaces using piezoelectric actuation. A finite element method, a panel aerodynamic method, and the minimum state space realization are involved in the development of the governing equation, which is efficiently used for the analysis of the system and design of control laws with modern control framework. The active control suppressed flow-induced vibrations and extended the flutter speed around by 10%. Another representative flow-induced vibration phenomenon is the oscillation of blunt bodies due to the vortex shedding. In general, it is quite difficult to set up the numerical model because of the strong non-linearity of the vortex shedding structure. Therefore, we applied adaptive positive position feedback controller, which requires no pre-determined model of the plant, and successfully suppressed the flow-induced vibration.

Many researchers have tried to develop the piezoelectric shell element and verified them with the benchmarking problem of the piezoelectric bimorph beam since there is no experimental result for the control of shell structure with piezoelectric sensor/actuator. In this paper, the experiments are designed and performed to verify the control Performance of piezoelectric sensor/actuator on the shell structure. PVDF is easy to be attached on the surface of a shell structure but makes weak control forces. On the contrary, PZT makes control forces large enough to control the structure, but it is not easy to make a PZT element with curvature. To use PVDF as an actuator, the structure should be designed as flexible as possible and the voltage amplifier could make high control voltage. PVDF actuator powered by a voltage amplifier that generates output voltage from -200 to +200 volts, shows little control performance to control the vibration of an arch type shell structure. The performance of sensor looks good and the negative velocity feedback control works perfectly. The actuator voltage seems to be too small to verify the control effect Quantitatively. An experiment with high voltage amplifier is scheduled to verify the control effect Quantitatively.

Thermal vibration characteristics of a thin walled composite beam attached on spacecraft are investigated in this paper. The composite beam is assumed to have a thin CUS(circumferentially uniform stiffness) wall and modeled with several composite materials which are already space qualified such as T300/Epoxy, YS90AEpoxy. Steady state angle and peak to peak error in spacecraft attitude angle and tip displacement of composite beams are evaluated as a performance index for thermal vibration characteristics. Evaluation results shows that composite beam made out of YS90A has nearly 2 times better than T300 in terms of peak to peak attitude error angle.

Based on the facts that significant parts of the harbor response spectrum usually reside in the vicinity of the Helmholtz mode in the eastern part of Korea. economically feasible redemption measures of seiches for malfunctioned harbors already in service is proposed by extending the wisdom of perforated breakwaters and adjusting the width of entrance channel as a control tool. It turns out that as the entrance channel is getting narrower, the harbor system is getting slender due to the increase of added hydrodynamic length so that harbor response can be effectively diminished and separated from the incident wave spectrum where considerable amount of wave energy is located at the lower frequency range.

We consider the simultaneous slewing and vibration suppression control problem of an idealized structural model which has a rigid hub with two cantilevered flexible appendages and finite tip masses. The finite clement method(FEM) is used to obtain linear finite dimensional equations of motion for the model. In the linear quadratic regulator(LQR) problem, a simple method is introduced to provide a physically meaningful performance index for space structure models. This method gives us a mathematically minor but physically important modification of the usual energy type performance index. A numerical procedure to solve a time-variant LQR problem with inequality control constraints is presented using the method of particular solutions.

A procedure for the predictive control for structural vibration control in building subject to wind loads is presented. The building motions are modeled by the first mode of the response. Wind velocities are generated by the simulation using power spectral density function. Predictive control algorithm is the discrete-time formulation and that is developed as a control strategy that computes the control signal which makes the predicted process output equal to a desired process output. Results on the reduction of the dynamic response and control effectiveness of the algorithm are presented and discussed.

복소모드 중첩법은 점탄성 감쇠기가 설치된 비비례 감쇠시스템의 정확한 동적 거동을 예측할 수 있는 방법이지만 많은 자유도를 갖는 고층건물의 해석시 고유치 해석과 모드중첩과정에서 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 모형화를 위하여 강막가정과 행렬응축기법을 적용하고 구조물의 진동에 영향을 주는 주요모드의 선택을 위한 복소모드 응답참여계수를 제안하므로써 복소모드 중첩법의 효율성은 높였다. 또한 비비례 감쇠시스템에서 감쇠를 고려하여 응답스펙트럼을 재구성한후 선택된 주요 모드를 중첩하여 최대층간변위가 발생하는 곳에 감쇠기를 설치하였다 이 방법은 감쇠기가 설치된 구조물에 대하여 만족되는 수준의 최대층간변위가 발생할 때 까지 고유치 해석만을 반복.수행하면서 감쇠기를 연속적으로 설치하는 방법이다. 제안된 방법의 정확성과 효율성을 검토하기 위하여 예제 구조물의 대상으로 해석한 결과 응답의 정확성을 유지하면서 해석에 필요한 시간을 대폭 절감할 수 있었다.
