Abstract

In the development of active piezoelectric/elastic structures, it was noted that a fully (symmetrically) distributed piezoelectric sensor/actuator could lead to minimum, or zero, sensing/control effects for anti-symmetrical modes of structures, especially with symmetrical boundary conditions. One method of improving the performance is to segment the symmetrically distributed sensor/actuator layers into a number of collocated sub-segments. In this chapter, mathematical models and analytical solutions of a simply supported plate with a single-piece distributed sensor/actuator and four-piece quarterly segmented sensors/actuators were derived. Modal sensitivities and modal feedback factors for the two sensor/actuator configurations are defined, and modal displacement and velocity feedbacks are formulated.
