LQR Control of Shell Vibrations via Piezoceramic Actuators

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: International Series of Numerical Mathematics ((ISNM,volume 126))

Abstract

A model-based LQR method for controlling vibrations in cylindrical shells is presented. Surface-mounted piezoceramic patches are employed as actuators which leads to unbounded control input operators. Modified Donnell-Mushtari shell equations incorpo-rating strong or Kelvin-Voigt damping are used to model the system. The model is then abstractly formulated in terms of sesquilinear forms. This provides a framework amenable for proving model well-posedness arid convergence of LQR gains using analytic semigroup results combined with LQR theory for unbounded input operators. Finally, numerical examples demonstrating the effectiveness of the method are presented.
