This paper concerns the analytical modeling and dynamic analysis of advanced cantilevered blade structure implemented by a dual approach based on structural tailoring and viscoelastic materials technology. Whereas structural tailoring uses the directionality properties of advanced composite materials, the passive materials technology exploits the damping capabilities of viscoelastic material(VEM) embedded into the host structure. The structure is modeled as a composite thin-walled beam incorporating a number of nonclassical features such as transverse shear, secondary warping, anisotropy of constituent materials, and rotary inertias. The case of VEM spreaded over the entire span of the structure is considered. The displayed numerical results provide a comprehensive picture of the synergisitic implications of the application of both techniques, namely, the tailoring and damping technology on vibration response of thin-walled beam structure exposed to external time-dependent excitations.

In this paper, a dynamic modeling approach is introduced to identify the dynamic characteristics of the structural/mechanical joints within an one-dimensional structure. A structural joint is represented by the four-pole parameters and the four-pole parameters are determined from the measured frequency response functions by using the spectral element method. As the illustrative examples, a cantilevered beam a clamped-clamped beam, both consist of two beams connected by a bolted joint, are investigated to evaluate the present modeling approach. It is found that the dynamic responses predicted by using the identified for-pole parameters for the bolted joint are well agreed with the measured dynamic responses measured

Robust control of a GFR composite beam with a distributed PVDF sensor and piezo-ceramic actuator is presented En this paper. Modal analysis method and modal coordinates are introduced to obtain the state educations of the structural system. 1st and 2nd natural frequencies are considered In the modeling, because robust control theory which is robustness to structured uncertainty is adopted to suppress the vibration. If the controllers designed by H$\^$$\infty$/ theory do not satisfy control performance, it is improved by ${\mu}$-synthesis method with D-K Iteration so that the ${\mu}$-controller based on the structured singular value satisfies the nominal performance and robust performance.

The fracture characteristic of the bonded interface under the application of a sliding load to a double cantilevered specimen manufactured using lightweight material was examined. Inhomogeneously bonded materials such as Al6061-T6, CFRP, and CFRP-Al were employed. In the experiment, the specimen was loaded on both directions by applying a shearing load to the bonding interface. The experimentally obtained stress, specific strength and energy release rate values were examined. CFRP exhibited excellent specific strength. The experimental results demonstrated that the inhomogeneous bonded material CFRP-Al exhibited an overall high performance in comparison with the single materials.

This paper aims to build a drone platform based on an optimum design of its single arm. Its single arm is assumed as a cantilevered beam with a tip mass. Based on the numerical optimization theory, validation and optimization of a new design is conducted by comparing the results with the similar ones obtained by ANSYS. Finally, this design is reflected in the control simulation, and the requirement of an optimum structural design considering the resonance situation is satisfied.

This paper deals with an experimental investigation on an active vibration control of ahybrid smart structure(HSS) via an electro-rheological fluid actuator(ERFA) and a piezoelectric film actuator(PFA). Firstly, an HSS is constructed by inserting a silicone oil-based electro-rheological fluid into a hollow can- tilevered beam and perfectly bonding piezoelectric films ofn the upper and lower surfaces of the beam as an actuator and a sensor, respectively. The control scheme of the ERFA tuning stiffness and damping charac- teristics of the HSS with imposed electric fields is formulated as a function of excitation frequencies on the basis of field-dependent respnses. On the other hand, as for the control scheme of the PFA permitting control voltages to generate axial forces or bending moments for suppressing deflections of the HSS, a neuro sliding mode controller(NSC) is employed. Furthermore, an experimental implementation activating the ERFA and the PFA independently is established to carry out an active vibration control in both the transient and forced vibrations. The experimental results exhibit a superior ability of the gtbrid actuation system to tailor elastodynamic response characteristics of the HSS rather than a single class of actuator system alone.

Distributed piezoelectric sensor and actuator have been designed for efficient vibration control of a cantilevered beam. Both PZT and PVDF are used in this study, the former as an actuator and the latter as a sensor for our integrated structure. For the PZT actuator, the position and size have been optimized. Optimal electrode shape of the PVDF sensor has been determined. For multi-mode vibration control, we have used two PZT actuators and a PVDF sensor. Electrode shading of PVDF is more powerful for modal force adjustment than the sizing and positioning of PZT. Finite element method is used to model the structure that includes the PZT actuator and the PVDF sensor. By deciding on or off of each PZT segment, the length and the location of the PZT actuator are optimize. Considering both of the host structure and the optimized actuators, it is designed that the active electrode width of PVDF sensor along the span of the beam. Actuator design is based on the criterion of minimizing the system energy in the control modes under a given initial condition. Sensor is designed to minimize the observation spill-over. Modal control forces for the residual(uncontrolled) modes have been minimized during the sensor design. Genetic algorithm, which is suitable for this kind of discrete problems, has been utilized for optimization. Discrete LQG control law has been applied to the integrated structure for real time vibration control. Performance of the sensor, the actuator, and the integrated smart structure has been demonstrated by experiments.

Test equipment for strain and vibration measurement was designed for educational purposes. Widely available and affordable materials were put into making this device. Three strain gauges placed on an iron ruler made cantilevered beam were used to measure values according to external load. An electromagnet triggered excitation and a function generator created vibration of the beam. We present three different tests conducted with this equipment regarding production of scales, measurement of resonant frequency, and calculation of the difference between excitation frequency and measured frequency. Overall, this paper presents a piece of simple yet inexpensive test equipment and its corresponding portfolio with expectations of being applied to the educational field for efficient measurement of load and vibration.

Free vibration characteristics of a cantilevered laminated composite beam with multiple non-propagating transverse open cracks are investigated. In the present analysis a special ply-angle distribution referred to as asymmetric stiffness configuration inducing the elastic coupling between chord-wise bending and extension is considered. The multiple open cracks are modelled as equivalent rotational springs whose spring constants are calculated based on the fracture mechanics of composite material structures. Governing equations of a composite beam with open cracks are derived via Hamilton's Principle and Timoshenko beam theory encompassing transverse shear and rotary inertia effect is adopted. The effects of various parameters such as the ply angle, fiber volume fraction, crack numbers, crack positions and crack depthes on the free vibration characteristics of the beam with multiple cracks are highlighted. The numerical results show that the existence of the multiple cracks in an anisotropic composite beam affects the free vibration characteristics in a more complex fashion compared with the beam with a single crack.

In this paper, vibration characteristics in terms of the airfoil cross-sectional shape was examined by using the EDISON co-rotational plane beam-transient analysis. Co-Rotational plane beam analysis is appropriate for large rotation and small strain. Assuming aircraft wing as a cantilevered beam, natural frequencies of each airfoil cross-sectional shape were estimated using VABS program and fast Fourier transformation(FFT). VABS conducts finite element analysis on the cross-section including the detailed geometry and material distribution to estimate the beam sectional properties. Under the same airfoil geometric configuration and material selection, variation of material induced difference in the deflection and natural frequencies. It was observed that variation of the natural frequency was dependent on variation of the airfoil shape and material.
