1 Introduction

Vibration and noise control is of great interest in manyindustrial structures like airplane passenger cabin vehiclebody structure and submarine hull The thin-wall structureis a key part in the bodycabinhull structure The vibratingthin-wall structures like plates and shells which are mainlydisturbed by the harmonic disturbance induced from theengine and other rotating machines as well as stochasticdisturbance make radiation noise into the passenger cabininfluencing the performance of the structure

Active vibration control (AVC) [1] which is well-knownfor its efficiency in low frequency band where traditionalpassive strategies cannot work well has been applied tovarious structures over the past two decades Active vibra-tion control of simple structure such as beams [2] andplates [3] was researched broadly in the open literaturesThakkar and Ganguli [4] investigated the twist vibration

control of helicopter rotor blade by using the piezoelectricactuators Rao et al [5] designed a 119867

infincontroller and

demonstrated experimentally the effectiveness of multimodevibration control in the composite fin-tip of aircraft Kwakand Yang [6] studied the suppression of vibration of ring-stiffened cylindrical shell in contact with external fluid usingpiezoelectric sensor and actuator

Active constrained layer damping (ACLD) is a hybridactive-passive vibration control technique [7] which com-bines the advantages of conventional passive constrainedlayer damping (PCLD) and active vibration control (AVC)Therefore in the same damping treatment the broaderband vibration suppression can be achieved through ACLDtreatments In recent decades extensive efforts had beenmade to reduce the vibration of the thin-wall structureusing ACLD treatments Baz and Ro as the pioneer-ing researchers demonstrated the feasibility of using theACLD in controlling the vibration of rotating beams with

the ultimate goal of extending its application of attenuatingthe structural vibration of rotor blades [8]The vibration con-trol of shells [9 10]was also investigated to extend the applica-tion of ACLD in the cabin of aircraft and submarine In thesestudies the PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) was served as thesensors and actuators They use the simple proportional andderivative feedback of the transverse deflection to suppressthe vibration of the base structure theoretically and exper-imentally To improve the force transmissibility betweenpiezoelectric actuator and the base structure Liao and Wang[11] proposed an enhanced active constraining layer (EACL)and Gao and Liao [12] extended this configuration Kumaret al [13] added the stand-off layer (SOL) between theviscoelastic layer and the base structure to increase theviscoelastic strain and enhance the effect of the active force Inrecent years piezoelectric fiber-reinforced composite (PFRC)materials [14] and piezoelectric composites (PZC) [15 16]which have a wide range of effective materials propertieswere introduced in the ACLD treatments to serve as activeconstrained layer Shah and Ray [17] focused on investigatingthe effect of the piezoelectric fiber orientation angle in theconstrained layer on the performance of ACLD patchesIn these studies the emphasis was placed on the vibrationcharacteristics analysisenhancement of the performance ofthe ACLD treatments

In the open literatures much attention was paid onactive control methods in the structural activeactive-passivevibration control The optimal feedback control [18] velocityfeedback control [19] fuzzy logic control [3] and the 119867

infin

control [5] were usually employed in active vibration con-trol (AVC) Viswamurthy and Ganguli [20] compared theglobal harmonic control with local blade optimal controlapplied to vibration control of helicopter For active-passiveACLDstructure Baz [21] presented a variational mathemati-calmodel for beams and a globally stable boundary controllerwas investigated to get the high damping characteristics overbroad frequency range Meanwhile Baz [22] developed a1198672robust controller based on the transfer function model

of the ACLD beam The control strategy was stable inthe presence of parameter uncertainty as well as ensuredoptimal disturbance rejection capabilities Furthermore the119867 infinity robust control strategy was utilized by Crassidiset al [23] to maximize disturbance rejection capabilitiesover a desired frequency band Liu et al [24] developed a119867 infinity controller based on the reduced finite elementmodel Rodriguez [25] made a comparison of sliding modecontrol (SMC) with state-feedback control (LQR) appliedto a partially treated ACLD beam In these studies thecontrol strategies can be classified into feedback controltheoriesThese control strategies have been shown to bemoresuitable in applicationswhere the structure is disturbed by thestochastic or impulsive disturbances

Feedforward control which is more effective in the casewhere the deterministic or correlated information about thedisturbance is known is another popular control strategy Itwaswidely used in active vibration and noise control field [2627] However only a few feedforward theories were utilizedin structural vibration control with ACLD treatments Cao[28] employed the feedforward LMS algorithm to control

the vibration of a plate treated with ACLD treatments Thefinite element model was developed and ADF method wasused to identify the performance of VEM Furthermorehybrid control of feedback and feedforward control theorieswere also successfully used to noise and vibration suppression[29 30] However it was rarely investigated for structuralvibration control with ACLD treatments Vasques validatedthe effectiveness of the hybrid control strategies for ACLDbeam [31]

In this paper the focus is placed on combining individualfeedback control based on linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG)and feedforward control based on adaptive filtered-referenceLMS (FxLMS) to develop a hybrid controller for the vibra-tion control of plates treated with ACLD treatments Theperformance of vibration suppression subjected to differentcontrol strategies is compared and the effect of parameterson vibration suppression of the plate with ACLD treatment isfurther investigated

This paper is organized in the following five sections Abrief background is introduced in Section 1 The dynamicmodels including the finite element model of the platetreated with ACLD patches and GHM model of VEM aredeveloped in Section 2 In Section 3 the feedback controllerthe feedforward controller and the hybrid controller aredesigned A numerical example is discussed in Section 4Finally the main results and future work are summarized inSection 5

2 The ACLDPlate System Model Construction

21 Finite Element Model The ACLDplate system is illus-trated in Figure 1 The viscoelastic damping layer is sand-wiched between two piezoelectric layers which serve aspiezosensor and piezoactuator respectively The three layersare bonded to the base plate acting as a smart constraininglayer damping It is assumed that the piezosensor and thebase plate are perfectly bonded together such that they can bereduced to a single equivalent layer Some other assumptionsare made in [32]

The ACLDplate elements considered are four-node two-dimensional elements Each node has seven degrees offreedom to describe the longitudinal displacements 119906

the slopes 119909 and 119910 of the deflection line The longitudinaldisplacement functions are expressed as 4-term polynomialsand transverse deflection119908 is expressed as a 12-term polyno-mial Therefore the element deflection vector is given by

Applying Hamiltonrsquos principle the equations of motionfor an ACLD element can be written as

M(119890)Δ(119890) + K(119890)Δ(119890) = F(119890)119889+ F(119890)119888 (2)

whereK is the global stiffness matrix without considering theshear stiffness of the VEM

22 Viscoelastic Damping Model The frequency- or time-dependent behavior of the viscoelastic material is character-ized by using Golla-Hughes-Mctavish (GHM) method [24]In this approach the shear modulus of VEM is expressed asa series of ldquominioscillatorrdquo terms in the Laplace domain

A further model reduction is performed with the balancemethod in the state space to guarantee the control systemcontrollable and observable The details are shown in [34]

3 Control System Architecture Design

31 Feedback Control The ultimate aim of the feedbackcontrol is to reduce the motion of the system to the greatestpossible extent in that case the control system is said toact as a regulator Here the linear quadratic regulator (LQR)is designed to control the vibration of plates with ACLDtreatments Cost function or performance index is given by

where Q119909 Q119910 and R are the state variable the output and

the control input weighting matrices respectivelyThe control input can be calculated using the state

feedback so that

f119888= minusK119888x (119905) (15)

The optimal feedback gain matrix K119888is given by

K119888= Rminus1B119879

119888P (16)

where P is the solution of the famous Riccati equationTherefore considering the control law in (15) and substi-

tuting it into the state space equation of the reduced modelthe closed-loop state equation is given by

x (119905) = (Α minus B119888K119888) x (119905) + B

119889f119889 (17)

In above equation it is assumed that all the state variablescan be measured However that is not always available ina real system an optimal design methodology that onlyutilizes noise partial state information is required Thelinear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) methodology provides ameans of designing such controllers The LQG controller isa combination of a LQR and a Kalman filter a fact known asthe separation principle

The Kalman filter is an optimal state estimator which canminimize the effects of process and measurement noise In(18) the process noise f

119889and measurement noise k

119889are both

assumed to be white and have a Gaussian probability densityfunction Meanwhile they are assumed to be uncorrelatedwith the inputs The correlation properties of the plantand measurement noise vectors are given by the correlationmatrices

119864 (f119889f119879119889) = 119876

119889 119864 (k

119889k119879119889) = 119877119889 (18)

where 119864 denotes the expectation operatorThese matrices areused as weighting matrices of the steady-state Kalman filterproblem [20]

A state estimate x1015840(119905) that minimizes the steady-stateerror covariance is constructed by the Kalman filter

119875 = lim119905rarrinfin

119864([x (119905) minus x1015840 (119905)] [x (119905) minus x1015840 (119905)]119879

) (19)

In this way a new state space model is generated

x1015840 = Ax1015840 + B119888f119891119889119888+ L (yV minus Cx1015840)

[y1015840x1015840] = [

(20)

where L is the filter gain it is determined by solving analgebraic Riccati equation yV is the sum of the output and themeasurement noise

33 Hybrid Control In general the feedback control is moreappropriate for suppression of stochastic disturbance Mean-while it is susceptible to modeling errors By contrast theadaptive feedforward control is not susceptible to modelingerrors and inherently stable and it is more suitable to reducethe periodic or limited-band disturbanceTherefore it is nec-essary to develop a hybrid (combined feedbackfeedforward)control to attenuate vibration of plates with ACLD treatmentsagainst stochastic and harmonic disturbance simultaneouslyThe schematic diagram of the discrete-time generalized plantfor a hybrid SISO control system is shown in Figure 2 Itis seen that LQG control is considered as feedback channeland an adaptive filtered-reference LMS control is used asfeedforward channel

(aluminum) viscoelastic layer (ZN-1) and piezoelectric layer(P-5H) are listed in Table 1

The cantilever plateACLD is divided into 8 times 4 elementsFour ACLD composite elements are applied in the rootThe locations of the ACLD patches are decided accordingto the modal energy of the first mode [21] which is shownin Figure 4 A model reduction in which the deflection ofthe structure and displacements of the piezoelectric layer areselected to be master dofs and all others are slave dofsis performed according to the model reduction proceduresin Section 3 The bold point in Figure 3 is used as theexcited point and also the response point The comparisonof responses in frequency domain and time domain betweenthe original model and the reduced model is presented inFigure 5 It is clear that the dynamic response of the reducedmodel is nearly coordinate with the dynamic response of theoriginalmodel A SISO control system is considered to designindividual and hybrid controller The input is the controlvoltage applied to the ACLD treatments and the output isselected to be the displacement of the response point of theplate which is assumed to be measurable

42 The Control Results of the Feedback Controller The LQGfeedback controller is tested to mitigate the effects of stochas-tic disturbances A white noise mechanical disturbance ismodeled as process noise (input force disturbance) Theprocess noise is such a signal with 119864(119908119908119879) = 001119873

As can be seen when compared to the PCLDplate sys-tem theACLD treatments can reduce the displacement of theresponse point of the plate significantly The control voltageis limited within 30VThismeans that the proposed feedbackcontrol is effective against the stochastic disturbance

43 The Control Results of the Feedforward Controller Thefeedforward controller based on adaptive FxLMS algorithmis designed to attenuate the effects of the harmonic point-force disturbance on the ACLDplate system in Figure 2 Thedisturbance frequency is close to the first natural frequencyof the ACLDplate system For convenience the estimationmodel of the plant cancellation path is substituted by thecontrol path (control voltage to measured displacement) inthe state space model After that the FxLMS algorithm isimplemented The filter length 119871 is set to be 32 and thestep size 119906 = 001 in the FxLMS controller The results arepresented in Figure 7

It can be seen that the displacement of the plate withACLD treatment is attenuated from 94mm to 008mm atthe end time of 20 s The control voltage is close to 50VThe vibration attenuation is improved substantially by ACLDtreatments when the adaptive FxLMS algorithm is applied Itis clear that the FxLMS algorithm is very useful to attenuatethe vibration of ACLDplate system excited by harmonicdisturbance

further designed to attenuate the vibration of the plateACLDsystem subjected to the complicated disturbance In thehybrid controller the FxLMS control is employed as thefeedforward channel which aims to damp out the harmonicdisturbance Meanwhile the LQG feedback control is usedas a compensator The mixed disturbance is the sum of

the two previous disturbancesThe results of individual LQGfeedback control feedforward control and their combinationare presented in Figures 8 9 and 10 respectively

When the hybrid control system is engaged the feedbackcontroller with the same weights and the feedforward con-troller with the same filter length are used and the step sizeis set to be 05 to accelerate the convergence rate It can beseen from Figures 8(a) and 10(a) that at the end of 20 s thedisplacement amplitude produced by the hybrid controlleris much smaller than that of the LQG feedback controllerIt is also apparent that the fluctuation disappears during theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedfrom 10 s to 5 s when the hybrid controller is applied insteadof the feedforward controller Figure 11 shows that the hybridcontrol produces a smallerMSE than the feedforward controlThe maximum control voltage in the feedforward controllerachieves 210V However the control effort in the hybrid

controller is only about 110V a little larger than the stablecontrol voltage of the two single controller

45 The Performance Discussions to the Controllers Table 2lists the convergence situations for hybrid controller andFxLMS controller under different step sizes It can be seenthat the hybrid controller can converge over a larger range ofstep size This implies that the hybrid controller has a betterrobustness than the FxLMS controller

The effect of different step sizes on the performanceof ACLDplate with the FxLMS and hybrid controller isdiscussed It is seen in Figure 12 that when the step size isincreasedMSE decreases rapidly meanwhile the fluctuationincreasesThismeans that convergence process is not smoothanymore which results in the fluctuation of the controlvoltage shown in Figure 9(b) On the other hand at the end

of the iteration process the MSE approaches to the samevalue Figure 13 shows that MSE varies with iteration numberin hybrid control under different step sizes It can be seenclearly that the fluctuation is reduced substantially in theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedgreatly when the step size increases This results in a stablecontrol voltage in Figure 10(b)

In general the cancellation pathmodel of the feedforwardcontroller is obtained by the system identification algorithmTherefore the errors including amplitude error and phaseerror in the cancellation path has a significant effect on thecontroller performance Figures 14 and 15 show that the effectof phase errors of the cancellation path on the performanceof ACLDplate is considerable It is seen that when thephase error achieves 30∘ the control process in feedforwardcontrol will not converge anymore However when the phaseerror achieves 60∘ the control process is still convergent

in the hybrid control It can be concluded that the hybridcontrol is not sensitive to the phase error compared with thefeedforward control

Figure 16 shows the MSE using LQG feedback controlunder different119876matrix Figure 17 demonstrates the MSE byusing hybrid control under different119876matrix It can be foundthat the performance of the feedback control has a distinctfluctuation when different 119876 matrix is applied However theperformance of the hybrid control changes indistinctivelyThat implies that the hybrid control is more stable thanindividual LQG control

Based on the above discussions it can be inferred thatthe hybrid control will be a potential for vibration controlof aerospace and other structures The hybrid controllerdemonstrates a better performance than that of individualfeedbackfeedforward controller with different parametersMeanwhile even though one of individual controllers is out

the ultimate goal of extending its application of attenuatingthe structural vibration of rotor blades [8]The vibration con-trol of shells [9 10]was also investigated to extend the applica-tion of ACLD in the cabin of aircraft and submarine In thesestudies the PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) was served as thesensors and actuators They use the simple proportional andderivative feedback of the transverse deflection to suppressthe vibration of the base structure theoretically and exper-imentally To improve the force transmissibility betweenpiezoelectric actuator and the base structure Liao and Wang[11] proposed an enhanced active constraining layer (EACL)and Gao and Liao [12] extended this configuration Kumaret al [13] added the stand-off layer (SOL) between theviscoelastic layer and the base structure to increase theviscoelastic strain and enhance the effect of the active force Inrecent years piezoelectric fiber-reinforced composite (PFRC)materials [14] and piezoelectric composites (PZC) [15 16]which have a wide range of effective materials propertieswere introduced in the ACLD treatments to serve as activeconstrained layer Shah and Ray [17] focused on investigatingthe effect of the piezoelectric fiber orientation angle in theconstrained layer on the performance of ACLD patchesIn these studies the emphasis was placed on the vibrationcharacteristics analysisenhancement of the performance ofthe ACLD treatments

In the open literatures much attention was paid onactive control methods in the structural activeactive-passivevibration control The optimal feedback control [18] velocityfeedback control [19] fuzzy logic control [3] and the 119867

control [5] were usually employed in active vibration con-trol (AVC) Viswamurthy and Ganguli [20] compared theglobal harmonic control with local blade optimal controlapplied to vibration control of helicopter For active-passiveACLDstructure Baz [21] presented a variational mathemati-calmodel for beams and a globally stable boundary controllerwas investigated to get the high damping characteristics overbroad frequency range Meanwhile Baz [22] developed a1198672robust controller based on the transfer function model

of the ACLD beam The control strategy was stable inthe presence of parameter uncertainty as well as ensuredoptimal disturbance rejection capabilities Furthermore the119867 infinity robust control strategy was utilized by Crassidiset al [23] to maximize disturbance rejection capabilitiesover a desired frequency band Liu et al [24] developed a119867 infinity controller based on the reduced finite elementmodel Rodriguez [25] made a comparison of sliding modecontrol (SMC) with state-feedback control (LQR) appliedto a partially treated ACLD beam In these studies thecontrol strategies can be classified into feedback controltheoriesThese control strategies have been shown to bemoresuitable in applicationswhere the structure is disturbed by thestochastic or impulsive disturbances

Feedforward control which is more effective in the casewhere the deterministic or correlated information about thedisturbance is known is another popular control strategy Itwaswidely used in active vibration and noise control field [2627] However only a few feedforward theories were utilizedin structural vibration control with ACLD treatments Cao[28] employed the feedforward LMS algorithm to control

the vibration of a plate treated with ACLD treatments Thefinite element model was developed and ADF method wasused to identify the performance of VEM Furthermorehybrid control of feedback and feedforward control theorieswere also successfully used to noise and vibration suppression[29 30] However it was rarely investigated for structuralvibration control with ACLD treatments Vasques validatedthe effectiveness of the hybrid control strategies for ACLDbeam [31]

In this paper the focus is placed on combining individualfeedback control based on linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG)and feedforward control based on adaptive filtered-referenceLMS (FxLMS) to develop a hybrid controller for the vibra-tion control of plates treated with ACLD treatments Theperformance of vibration suppression subjected to differentcontrol strategies is compared and the effect of parameterson vibration suppression of the plate with ACLD treatment isfurther investigated

This paper is organized in the following five sections Abrief background is introduced in Section 1 The dynamicmodels including the finite element model of the platetreated with ACLD patches and GHM model of VEM aredeveloped in Section 2 In Section 3 the feedback controllerthe feedforward controller and the hybrid controller aredesigned A numerical example is discussed in Section 4Finally the main results and future work are summarized inSection 5

2 The ACLDPlate System Model Construction

21 Finite Element Model The ACLDplate system is illus-trated in Figure 1 The viscoelastic damping layer is sand-wiched between two piezoelectric layers which serve aspiezosensor and piezoactuator respectively The three layersare bonded to the base plate acting as a smart constraininglayer damping It is assumed that the piezosensor and thebase plate are perfectly bonded together such that they can bereduced to a single equivalent layer Some other assumptionsare made in [32]

The ACLDplate elements considered are four-node two-dimensional elements Each node has seven degrees offreedom to describe the longitudinal displacements 119906

the slopes 119909 and 119910 of the deflection line The longitudinaldisplacement functions are expressed as 4-term polynomialsand transverse deflection119908 is expressed as a 12-term polyno-mial Therefore the element deflection vector is given by

whereK is the global stiffness matrix without considering theshear stiffness of the VEM

22 Viscoelastic Damping Model The frequency- or time-dependent behavior of the viscoelastic material is character-ized by using Golla-Hughes-Mctavish (GHM) method [24]In this approach the shear modulus of VEM is expressed asa series of ldquominioscillatorrdquo terms in the Laplace domain

23 Model Reduction and State Space Design As well knownthe scale of the finite element model is increased largelydue to the introduction of the dissipation coordinates fromGHM model This requires much computational effort tocalculate the dynamic response of the plates with ACLDtreatments Otherwise not all the state variables in themodelare controllable and observable Therefore model reductionis necessary to design an effective controller Here an iterativedynamic condensation [33] is used to reduce the scale of thefinite element model

Based on above reduced model the state space form ofthe ACLDplate is derived as follows

A further model reduction is performed with the balancemethod in the state space to guarantee the control systemcontrollable and observable The details are shown in [34]

3 Control System Architecture Design

31 Feedback Control The ultimate aim of the feedbackcontrol is to reduce the motion of the system to the greatestpossible extent in that case the control system is said toact as a regulator Here the linear quadratic regulator (LQR)is designed to control the vibration of plates with ACLDtreatments Cost function or performance index is given by

where Q119909 Q119910 and R are the state variable the output and

the control input weighting matrices respectivelyThe control input can be calculated using the state

feedback so that

f119888= minusK119888x (119905) (15)

The optimal feedback gain matrix K119888is given by

K119888= Rminus1B119879

119888P (16)

where P is the solution of the famous Riccati equationTherefore considering the control law in (15) and substi-

tuting it into the state space equation of the reduced modelthe closed-loop state equation is given by

x (119905) = (Α minus B119888K119888) x (119905) + B

119889f119889 (17)

In above equation it is assumed that all the state variablescan be measured However that is not always available ina real system an optimal design methodology that onlyutilizes noise partial state information is required Thelinear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) methodology provides ameans of designing such controllers The LQG controller isa combination of a LQR and a Kalman filter a fact known asthe separation principle

The Kalman filter is an optimal state estimator which canminimize the effects of process and measurement noise In(18) the process noise f

119889and measurement noise k

119889are both

assumed to be white and have a Gaussian probability densityfunction Meanwhile they are assumed to be uncorrelatedwith the inputs The correlation properties of the plantand measurement noise vectors are given by the correlationmatrices

119864 (f119889f119879119889) = 119876

119889 119864 (k

119889k119879119889) = 119877119889 (18)

where 119864 denotes the expectation operatorThese matrices areused as weighting matrices of the steady-state Kalman filterproblem [20]

A state estimate x1015840(119905) that minimizes the steady-stateerror covariance is constructed by the Kalman filter

119875 = lim119905rarrinfin

119864([x (119905) minus x1015840 (119905)] [x (119905) minus x1015840 (119905)]119879

) (19)

In this way a new state space model is generated

x1015840 = Ax1015840 + B119888f119891119889119888+ L (yV minus Cx1015840)

[y1015840x1015840] = [

CI] x1015840

(20)

where L is the filter gain it is determined by solving analgebraic Riccati equation yV is the sum of the output and themeasurement noise

33 Hybrid Control In general the feedback control is moreappropriate for suppression of stochastic disturbance Mean-while it is susceptible to modeling errors By contrast theadaptive feedforward control is not susceptible to modelingerrors and inherently stable and it is more suitable to reducethe periodic or limited-band disturbanceTherefore it is nec-essary to develop a hybrid (combined feedbackfeedforward)control to attenuate vibration of plates with ACLD treatmentsagainst stochastic and harmonic disturbance simultaneouslyThe schematic diagram of the discrete-time generalized plantfor a hybrid SISO control system is shown in Figure 2 Itis seen that LQG control is considered as feedback channeland an adaptive filtered-reference LMS control is used asfeedforward channel

The cantilever plateACLD is divided into 8 times 4 elementsFour ACLD composite elements are applied in the rootThe locations of the ACLD patches are decided accordingto the modal energy of the first mode [21] which is shownin Figure 4 A model reduction in which the deflection ofthe structure and displacements of the piezoelectric layer areselected to be master dofs and all others are slave dofsis performed according to the model reduction proceduresin Section 3 The bold point in Figure 3 is used as theexcited point and also the response point The comparisonof responses in frequency domain and time domain betweenthe original model and the reduced model is presented inFigure 5 It is clear that the dynamic response of the reducedmodel is nearly coordinate with the dynamic response of theoriginalmodel A SISO control system is considered to designindividual and hybrid controller The input is the controlvoltage applied to the ACLD treatments and the output isselected to be the displacement of the response point of theplate which is assumed to be measurable

42 The Control Results of the Feedback Controller The LQGfeedback controller is tested to mitigate the effects of stochas-tic disturbances A white noise mechanical disturbance ismodeled as process noise (input force disturbance) Theprocess noise is such a signal with 119864(119908119908119879) = 001119873

2 andthe measurement noise is a signal with 119864(119908119908119879) = 10minus101198812The output weighting matrix is set to be 119876 = 1 times 10

6 andthe control weighting matrix 119877 = 1 times 10minus5 In order to avoidthe depolarization the maximum control voltage applied topiezoelectric actuators is set to be 150V The control resultsand the control voltage are presented in Figure 6

As can be seen when compared to the PCLDplate sys-tem theACLD treatments can reduce the displacement of theresponse point of the plate significantly The control voltageis limited within 30VThismeans that the proposed feedbackcontrol is effective against the stochastic disturbance

43 The Control Results of the Feedforward Controller Thefeedforward controller based on adaptive FxLMS algorithmis designed to attenuate the effects of the harmonic point-force disturbance on the ACLDplate system in Figure 2 Thedisturbance frequency is close to the first natural frequencyof the ACLDplate system For convenience the estimationmodel of the plant cancellation path is substituted by thecontrol path (control voltage to measured displacement) inthe state space model After that the FxLMS algorithm isimplemented The filter length 119871 is set to be 32 and thestep size 119906 = 001 in the FxLMS controller The results arepresented in Figure 7

It can be seen that the displacement of the plate withACLD treatment is attenuated from 94mm to 008mm atthe end time of 20 s The control voltage is close to 50VThe vibration attenuation is improved substantially by ACLDtreatments when the adaptive FxLMS algorithm is applied Itis clear that the FxLMS algorithm is very useful to attenuatethe vibration of ACLDplate system excited by harmonicdisturbance

further designed to attenuate the vibration of the plateACLDsystem subjected to the complicated disturbance In thehybrid controller the FxLMS control is employed as thefeedforward channel which aims to damp out the harmonicdisturbance Meanwhile the LQG feedback control is usedas a compensator The mixed disturbance is the sum of

the two previous disturbancesThe results of individual LQGfeedback control feedforward control and their combinationare presented in Figures 8 9 and 10 respectively

When the hybrid control system is engaged the feedbackcontroller with the same weights and the feedforward con-troller with the same filter length are used and the step sizeis set to be 05 to accelerate the convergence rate It can beseen from Figures 8(a) and 10(a) that at the end of 20 s thedisplacement amplitude produced by the hybrid controlleris much smaller than that of the LQG feedback controllerIt is also apparent that the fluctuation disappears during theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedfrom 10 s to 5 s when the hybrid controller is applied insteadof the feedforward controller Figure 11 shows that the hybridcontrol produces a smallerMSE than the feedforward controlThe maximum control voltage in the feedforward controllerachieves 210V However the control effort in the hybrid

controller is only about 110V a little larger than the stablecontrol voltage of the two single controller

45 The Performance Discussions to the Controllers Table 2lists the convergence situations for hybrid controller andFxLMS controller under different step sizes It can be seenthat the hybrid controller can converge over a larger range ofstep size This implies that the hybrid controller has a betterrobustness than the FxLMS controller

The effect of different step sizes on the performanceof ACLDplate with the FxLMS and hybrid controller isdiscussed It is seen in Figure 12 that when the step size isincreasedMSE decreases rapidly meanwhile the fluctuationincreasesThismeans that convergence process is not smoothanymore which results in the fluctuation of the controlvoltage shown in Figure 9(b) On the other hand at the end

of the iteration process the MSE approaches to the samevalue Figure 13 shows that MSE varies with iteration numberin hybrid control under different step sizes It can be seenclearly that the fluctuation is reduced substantially in theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedgreatly when the step size increases This results in a stablecontrol voltage in Figure 10(b)

In general the cancellation pathmodel of the feedforwardcontroller is obtained by the system identification algorithmTherefore the errors including amplitude error and phaseerror in the cancellation path has a significant effect on thecontroller performance Figures 14 and 15 show that the effectof phase errors of the cancellation path on the performanceof ACLDplate is considerable It is seen that when thephase error achieves 30∘ the control process in feedforwardcontrol will not converge anymore However when the phaseerror achieves 60∘ the control process is still convergent

in the hybrid control It can be concluded that the hybridcontrol is not sensitive to the phase error compared with thefeedforward control

Figure 16 shows the MSE using LQG feedback controlunder different119876matrix Figure 17 demonstrates the MSE byusing hybrid control under different119876matrix It can be foundthat the performance of the feedback control has a distinctfluctuation when different 119876 matrix is applied However theperformance of the hybrid control changes indistinctivelyThat implies that the hybrid control is more stable thanindividual LQG control

Based on the above discussions it can be inferred thatthe hybrid control will be a potential for vibration controlof aerospace and other structures The hybrid controllerdemonstrates a better performance than that of individualfeedbackfeedforward controller with different parametersMeanwhile even though one of individual controllers is out

23 Model Reduction and State Space Design As well knownthe scale of the finite element model is increased largelydue to the introduction of the dissipation coordinates fromGHM model This requires much computational effort tocalculate the dynamic response of the plates with ACLDtreatments Otherwise not all the state variables in themodelare controllable and observable Therefore model reductionis necessary to design an effective controller Here an iterativedynamic condensation [33] is used to reduce the scale of thefinite element model

Based on above reduced model the state space form ofthe ACLDplate is derived as follows

x (119905) = Ax (119905) + B119889f119889+ B119888f119888

y (119905) = Cx (119905) + k(12)

where the state space vector x(t) is chosen as X119898

3 Control System Architecture Design

31 Feedback Control The ultimate aim of the feedbackcontrol is to reduce the motion of the system to the greatestpossible extent in that case the control system is said toact as a regulator Here the linear quadratic regulator (LQR)is designed to control the vibration of plates with ACLDtreatments Cost function or performance index is given by

where Q119909 Q119910 and R are the state variable the output and

the control input weighting matrices respectivelyThe control input can be calculated using the state

feedback so that

f119888= minusK119888x (119905) (15)

The optimal feedback gain matrix K119888is given by

K119888= Rminus1B119879

119888P (16)

where P is the solution of the famous Riccati equationTherefore considering the control law in (15) and substi-

tuting it into the state space equation of the reduced modelthe closed-loop state equation is given by

x (119905) = (Α minus B119888K119888) x (119905) + B

119889f119889 (17)

In above equation it is assumed that all the state variablescan be measured However that is not always available ina real system an optimal design methodology that onlyutilizes noise partial state information is required Thelinear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) methodology provides ameans of designing such controllers The LQG controller isa combination of a LQR and a Kalman filter a fact known asthe separation principle

The Kalman filter is an optimal state estimator which canminimize the effects of process and measurement noise In(18) the process noise f

119889and measurement noise k

119889are both

assumed to be white and have a Gaussian probability densityfunction Meanwhile they are assumed to be uncorrelatedwith the inputs The correlation properties of the plantand measurement noise vectors are given by the correlationmatrices

119864 (f119889f119879119889) = 119876

119889 119864 (k

119889k119879119889) = 119877119889 (18)

where 119864 denotes the expectation operatorThese matrices areused as weighting matrices of the steady-state Kalman filterproblem [20]

A state estimate x1015840(119905) that minimizes the steady-stateerror covariance is constructed by the Kalman filter

119875 = lim119905rarrinfin

119864([x (119905) minus x1015840 (119905)] [x (119905) minus x1015840 (119905)]119879

) (19)

In this way a new state space model is generated

x1015840 = Ax1015840 + B119888f119891119889119888+ L (yV minus Cx1015840)

[y1015840x1015840] = [

CI] x1015840

(20)

where L is the filter gain it is determined by solving analgebraic Riccati equation yV is the sum of the output and themeasurement noise

33 Hybrid Control In general the feedback control is moreappropriate for suppression of stochastic disturbance Mean-while it is susceptible to modeling errors By contrast theadaptive feedforward control is not susceptible to modelingerrors and inherently stable and it is more suitable to reducethe periodic or limited-band disturbanceTherefore it is nec-essary to develop a hybrid (combined feedbackfeedforward)control to attenuate vibration of plates with ACLD treatmentsagainst stochastic and harmonic disturbance simultaneouslyThe schematic diagram of the discrete-time generalized plantfor a hybrid SISO control system is shown in Figure 2 Itis seen that LQG control is considered as feedback channeland an adaptive filtered-reference LMS control is used asfeedforward channel

42 The Control Results of the Feedback Controller The LQGfeedback controller is tested to mitigate the effects of stochas-tic disturbances A white noise mechanical disturbance ismodeled as process noise (input force disturbance) Theprocess noise is such a signal with 119864(119908119908119879) = 001119873

As can be seen when compared to the PCLDplate sys-tem theACLD treatments can reduce the displacement of theresponse point of the plate significantly The control voltageis limited within 30VThismeans that the proposed feedbackcontrol is effective against the stochastic disturbance

43 The Control Results of the Feedforward Controller Thefeedforward controller based on adaptive FxLMS algorithmis designed to attenuate the effects of the harmonic point-force disturbance on the ACLDplate system in Figure 2 Thedisturbance frequency is close to the first natural frequencyof the ACLDplate system For convenience the estimationmodel of the plant cancellation path is substituted by thecontrol path (control voltage to measured displacement) inthe state space model After that the FxLMS algorithm isimplemented The filter length 119871 is set to be 32 and thestep size 119906 = 001 in the FxLMS controller The results arepresented in Figure 7

It can be seen that the displacement of the plate withACLD treatment is attenuated from 94mm to 008mm atthe end time of 20 s The control voltage is close to 50VThe vibration attenuation is improved substantially by ACLDtreatments when the adaptive FxLMS algorithm is applied Itis clear that the FxLMS algorithm is very useful to attenuatethe vibration of ACLDplate system excited by harmonicdisturbance

the two previous disturbancesThe results of individual LQGfeedback control feedforward control and their combinationare presented in Figures 8 9 and 10 respectively

When the hybrid control system is engaged the feedbackcontroller with the same weights and the feedforward con-troller with the same filter length are used and the step sizeis set to be 05 to accelerate the convergence rate It can beseen from Figures 8(a) and 10(a) that at the end of 20 s thedisplacement amplitude produced by the hybrid controlleris much smaller than that of the LQG feedback controllerIt is also apparent that the fluctuation disappears during theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedfrom 10 s to 5 s when the hybrid controller is applied insteadof the feedforward controller Figure 11 shows that the hybridcontrol produces a smallerMSE than the feedforward controlThe maximum control voltage in the feedforward controllerachieves 210V However the control effort in the hybrid

controller is only about 110V a little larger than the stablecontrol voltage of the two single controller

45 The Performance Discussions to the Controllers Table 2lists the convergence situations for hybrid controller andFxLMS controller under different step sizes It can be seenthat the hybrid controller can converge over a larger range ofstep size This implies that the hybrid controller has a betterrobustness than the FxLMS controller

The effect of different step sizes on the performanceof ACLDplate with the FxLMS and hybrid controller isdiscussed It is seen in Figure 12 that when the step size isincreasedMSE decreases rapidly meanwhile the fluctuationincreasesThismeans that convergence process is not smoothanymore which results in the fluctuation of the controlvoltage shown in Figure 9(b) On the other hand at the end

of the iteration process the MSE approaches to the samevalue Figure 13 shows that MSE varies with iteration numberin hybrid control under different step sizes It can be seenclearly that the fluctuation is reduced substantially in theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedgreatly when the step size increases This results in a stablecontrol voltage in Figure 10(b)

In general the cancellation pathmodel of the feedforwardcontroller is obtained by the system identification algorithmTherefore the errors including amplitude error and phaseerror in the cancellation path has a significant effect on thecontroller performance Figures 14 and 15 show that the effectof phase errors of the cancellation path on the performanceof ACLDplate is considerable It is seen that when thephase error achieves 30∘ the control process in feedforwardcontrol will not converge anymore However when the phaseerror achieves 60∘ the control process is still convergent

in the hybrid control It can be concluded that the hybridcontrol is not sensitive to the phase error compared with thefeedforward control

Figure 16 shows the MSE using LQG feedback controlunder different119876matrix Figure 17 demonstrates the MSE byusing hybrid control under different119876matrix It can be foundthat the performance of the feedback control has a distinctfluctuation when different 119876 matrix is applied However theperformance of the hybrid control changes indistinctivelyThat implies that the hybrid control is more stable thanindividual LQG control

Based on the above discussions it can be inferred thatthe hybrid control will be a potential for vibration controlof aerospace and other structures The hybrid controllerdemonstrates a better performance than that of individualfeedbackfeedforward controller with different parametersMeanwhile even though one of individual controllers is out

It is worthmentioning that although the hybrid controllerpresented is shown theoretically with better performance fora singlemode vibration control the research for SISOMIMOvibration control of several modes using hybrid controlstrategies is more applicable in practical flexible structures ofaerospace and other engineering fields An attempt to addressthese issues is recommended to future studies

Based on above reduced model the state space form ofthe ACLDplate is derived as follows

x (119905) = Ax (119905) + B119889f119889+ B119888f119888

y (119905) = Cx (119905) + k(12)

where the state space vector x(t) is chosen as X119898

A is system matrix and B119889and B

119888are disturbance input

matrices and the control force distribution matrices C is theoutput matrix and y(t) is the output vector k represents themeasurement noise

A further model reduction is performed with the balancemethod in the state space to guarantee the control systemcontrollable and observable The details are shown in [34]

3 Control System Architecture Design

31 Feedback Control The ultimate aim of the feedbackcontrol is to reduce the motion of the system to the greatestpossible extent in that case the control system is said toact as a regulator Here the linear quadratic regulator (LQR)is designed to control the vibration of plates with ACLDtreatments Cost function or performance index is given by

where Q119909 Q119910 and R are the state variable the output and

the control input weighting matrices respectivelyThe control input can be calculated using the state

feedback so that

f119888= minusK119888x (119905) (15)

The optimal feedback gain matrix K119888is given by

K119888= Rminus1B119879

119888P (16)

where P is the solution of the famous Riccati equationTherefore considering the control law in (15) and substi-

tuting it into the state space equation of the reduced modelthe closed-loop state equation is given by

x (119905) = (Α minus B119888K119888) x (119905) + B

119889f119889 (17)

In above equation it is assumed that all the state variablescan be measured However that is not always available ina real system an optimal design methodology that onlyutilizes noise partial state information is required Thelinear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) methodology provides ameans of designing such controllers The LQG controller isa combination of a LQR and a Kalman filter a fact known asthe separation principle

The Kalman filter is an optimal state estimator which canminimize the effects of process and measurement noise In(18) the process noise f

119889and measurement noise k

119889are both

assumed to be white and have a Gaussian probability densityfunction Meanwhile they are assumed to be uncorrelatedwith the inputs The correlation properties of the plantand measurement noise vectors are given by the correlationmatrices

119864 (f119889f119879119889) = 119876

119889 119864 (k

119889k119879119889) = 119877119889 (18)

where 119864 denotes the expectation operatorThese matrices areused as weighting matrices of the steady-state Kalman filterproblem [20]

A state estimate x1015840(119905) that minimizes the steady-stateerror covariance is constructed by the Kalman filter

119875 = lim119905rarrinfin

119864([x (119905) minus x1015840 (119905)] [x (119905) minus x1015840 (119905)]119879

) (19)

In this way a new state space model is generated

x1015840 = Ax1015840 + B119888f119891119889119888+ L (yV minus Cx1015840)

[y1015840x1015840] = [

CI] x1015840

(20)

where L is the filter gain it is determined by solving analgebraic Riccati equation yV is the sum of the output and themeasurement noise

where 120583 is the step size which has a significant influenceon the convergence rate of the LMS algorithm and 119873 is thenumber of filter coefficients (or the filter length)

transfer characteristics also affect the performance of theFxLMS algorithm Therefore the output of the plant due tothe feedforward control input only 119910

where 119910119906(119896) is the response due to the effects of the primary

disturbance alone

33 Hybrid Control In general the feedback control is moreappropriate for suppression of stochastic disturbance Mean-while it is susceptible to modeling errors By contrast theadaptive feedforward control is not susceptible to modelingerrors and inherently stable and it is more suitable to reducethe periodic or limited-band disturbanceTherefore it is nec-essary to develop a hybrid (combined feedbackfeedforward)control to attenuate vibration of plates with ACLD treatmentsagainst stochastic and harmonic disturbance simultaneouslyThe schematic diagram of the discrete-time generalized plantfor a hybrid SISO control system is shown in Figure 2 Itis seen that LQG control is considered as feedback channeland an adaptive filtered-reference LMS control is used asfeedforward channel

The cantilever plateACLD is divided into 8 times 4 elementsFour ACLD composite elements are applied in the rootThe locations of the ACLD patches are decided accordingto the modal energy of the first mode [21] which is shownin Figure 4 A model reduction in which the deflection ofthe structure and displacements of the piezoelectric layer areselected to be master dofs and all others are slave dofsis performed according to the model reduction proceduresin Section 3 The bold point in Figure 3 is used as theexcited point and also the response point The comparisonof responses in frequency domain and time domain betweenthe original model and the reduced model is presented inFigure 5 It is clear that the dynamic response of the reducedmodel is nearly coordinate with the dynamic response of theoriginalmodel A SISO control system is considered to designindividual and hybrid controller The input is the controlvoltage applied to the ACLD treatments and the output isselected to be the displacement of the response point of theplate which is assumed to be measurable

42 The Control Results of the Feedback Controller The LQGfeedback controller is tested to mitigate the effects of stochas-tic disturbances A white noise mechanical disturbance ismodeled as process noise (input force disturbance) Theprocess noise is such a signal with 119864(119908119908119879) = 001119873

2 andthe measurement noise is a signal with 119864(119908119908119879) = 10minus101198812The output weighting matrix is set to be 119876 = 1 times 10

6 andthe control weighting matrix 119877 = 1 times 10minus5 In order to avoidthe depolarization the maximum control voltage applied topiezoelectric actuators is set to be 150V The control resultsand the control voltage are presented in Figure 6

As can be seen when compared to the PCLDplate sys-tem theACLD treatments can reduce the displacement of theresponse point of the plate significantly The control voltageis limited within 30VThismeans that the proposed feedbackcontrol is effective against the stochastic disturbance

43 The Control Results of the Feedforward Controller Thefeedforward controller based on adaptive FxLMS algorithmis designed to attenuate the effects of the harmonic point-force disturbance on the ACLDplate system in Figure 2 Thedisturbance frequency is close to the first natural frequencyof the ACLDplate system For convenience the estimationmodel of the plant cancellation path is substituted by thecontrol path (control voltage to measured displacement) inthe state space model After that the FxLMS algorithm isimplemented The filter length 119871 is set to be 32 and thestep size 119906 = 001 in the FxLMS controller The results arepresented in Figure 7

It can be seen that the displacement of the plate withACLD treatment is attenuated from 94mm to 008mm atthe end time of 20 s The control voltage is close to 50VThe vibration attenuation is improved substantially by ACLDtreatments when the adaptive FxLMS algorithm is applied Itis clear that the FxLMS algorithm is very useful to attenuatethe vibration of ACLDplate system excited by harmonicdisturbance

44 The Control Results of the Hybrid Controller Further-more it is particularly true that the system is often subject toboth the harmonic and stochastic disturbances in engineer-ing practice Therefore a hybrid controller which combinesthe LQG feedback control and the FxLMS feedforwardcontrol together is developed Such a hybrid controller is

further designed to attenuate the vibration of the plateACLDsystem subjected to the complicated disturbance In thehybrid controller the FxLMS control is employed as thefeedforward channel which aims to damp out the harmonicdisturbance Meanwhile the LQG feedback control is usedas a compensator The mixed disturbance is the sum of

the two previous disturbancesThe results of individual LQGfeedback control feedforward control and their combinationare presented in Figures 8 9 and 10 respectively

When the hybrid control system is engaged the feedbackcontroller with the same weights and the feedforward con-troller with the same filter length are used and the step sizeis set to be 05 to accelerate the convergence rate It can beseen from Figures 8(a) and 10(a) that at the end of 20 s thedisplacement amplitude produced by the hybrid controlleris much smaller than that of the LQG feedback controllerIt is also apparent that the fluctuation disappears during theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedfrom 10 s to 5 s when the hybrid controller is applied insteadof the feedforward controller Figure 11 shows that the hybridcontrol produces a smallerMSE than the feedforward controlThe maximum control voltage in the feedforward controllerachieves 210V However the control effort in the hybrid

controller is only about 110V a little larger than the stablecontrol voltage of the two single controller

45 The Performance Discussions to the Controllers Table 2lists the convergence situations for hybrid controller andFxLMS controller under different step sizes It can be seenthat the hybrid controller can converge over a larger range ofstep size This implies that the hybrid controller has a betterrobustness than the FxLMS controller

The effect of different step sizes on the performanceof ACLDplate with the FxLMS and hybrid controller isdiscussed It is seen in Figure 12 that when the step size isincreasedMSE decreases rapidly meanwhile the fluctuationincreasesThismeans that convergence process is not smoothanymore which results in the fluctuation of the controlvoltage shown in Figure 9(b) On the other hand at the end

of the iteration process the MSE approaches to the samevalue Figure 13 shows that MSE varies with iteration numberin hybrid control under different step sizes It can be seenclearly that the fluctuation is reduced substantially in theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedgreatly when the step size increases This results in a stablecontrol voltage in Figure 10(b)

In general the cancellation pathmodel of the feedforwardcontroller is obtained by the system identification algorithmTherefore the errors including amplitude error and phaseerror in the cancellation path has a significant effect on thecontroller performance Figures 14 and 15 show that the effectof phase errors of the cancellation path on the performanceof ACLDplate is considerable It is seen that when thephase error achieves 30∘ the control process in feedforwardcontrol will not converge anymore However when the phaseerror achieves 60∘ the control process is still convergent

in the hybrid control It can be concluded that the hybridcontrol is not sensitive to the phase error compared with thefeedforward control

Figure 16 shows the MSE using LQG feedback controlunder different119876matrix Figure 17 demonstrates the MSE byusing hybrid control under different119876matrix It can be foundthat the performance of the feedback control has a distinctfluctuation when different 119876 matrix is applied However theperformance of the hybrid control changes indistinctivelyThat implies that the hybrid control is more stable thanindividual LQG control

Based on the above discussions it can be inferred thatthe hybrid control will be a potential for vibration controlof aerospace and other structures The hybrid controllerdemonstrates a better performance than that of individualfeedbackfeedforward controller with different parametersMeanwhile even though one of individual controllers is out

33 Hybrid Control In general the feedback control is moreappropriate for suppression of stochastic disturbance Mean-while it is susceptible to modeling errors By contrast theadaptive feedforward control is not susceptible to modelingerrors and inherently stable and it is more suitable to reducethe periodic or limited-band disturbanceTherefore it is nec-essary to develop a hybrid (combined feedbackfeedforward)control to attenuate vibration of plates with ACLD treatmentsagainst stochastic and harmonic disturbance simultaneouslyThe schematic diagram of the discrete-time generalized plantfor a hybrid SISO control system is shown in Figure 2 Itis seen that LQG control is considered as feedback channeland an adaptive filtered-reference LMS control is used asfeedforward channel

(aluminum) viscoelastic layer (ZN-1) and piezoelectric layer(P-5H) are listed in Table 1

The cantilever plateACLD is divided into 8 times 4 elementsFour ACLD composite elements are applied in the rootThe locations of the ACLD patches are decided accordingto the modal energy of the first mode [21] which is shownin Figure 4 A model reduction in which the deflection ofthe structure and displacements of the piezoelectric layer areselected to be master dofs and all others are slave dofsis performed according to the model reduction proceduresin Section 3 The bold point in Figure 3 is used as theexcited point and also the response point The comparisonof responses in frequency domain and time domain betweenthe original model and the reduced model is presented inFigure 5 It is clear that the dynamic response of the reducedmodel is nearly coordinate with the dynamic response of theoriginalmodel A SISO control system is considered to designindividual and hybrid controller The input is the controlvoltage applied to the ACLD treatments and the output isselected to be the displacement of the response point of theplate which is assumed to be measurable

42 The Control Results of the Feedback Controller The LQGfeedback controller is tested to mitigate the effects of stochas-tic disturbances A white noise mechanical disturbance ismodeled as process noise (input force disturbance) Theprocess noise is such a signal with 119864(119908119908119879) = 001119873

2 andthe measurement noise is a signal with 119864(119908119908119879) = 10minus101198812The output weighting matrix is set to be 119876 = 1 times 10

As can be seen when compared to the PCLDplate sys-tem theACLD treatments can reduce the displacement of theresponse point of the plate significantly The control voltageis limited within 30VThismeans that the proposed feedbackcontrol is effective against the stochastic disturbance

43 The Control Results of the Feedforward Controller Thefeedforward controller based on adaptive FxLMS algorithmis designed to attenuate the effects of the harmonic point-force disturbance on the ACLDplate system in Figure 2 Thedisturbance frequency is close to the first natural frequencyof the ACLDplate system For convenience the estimationmodel of the plant cancellation path is substituted by thecontrol path (control voltage to measured displacement) inthe state space model After that the FxLMS algorithm isimplemented The filter length 119871 is set to be 32 and thestep size 119906 = 001 in the FxLMS controller The results arepresented in Figure 7

It can be seen that the displacement of the plate withACLD treatment is attenuated from 94mm to 008mm atthe end time of 20 s The control voltage is close to 50VThe vibration attenuation is improved substantially by ACLDtreatments when the adaptive FxLMS algorithm is applied Itis clear that the FxLMS algorithm is very useful to attenuatethe vibration of ACLDplate system excited by harmonicdisturbance

44 The Control Results of the Hybrid Controller Further-more it is particularly true that the system is often subject toboth the harmonic and stochastic disturbances in engineer-ing practice Therefore a hybrid controller which combinesthe LQG feedback control and the FxLMS feedforwardcontrol together is developed Such a hybrid controller is

further designed to attenuate the vibration of the plateACLDsystem subjected to the complicated disturbance In thehybrid controller the FxLMS control is employed as thefeedforward channel which aims to damp out the harmonicdisturbance Meanwhile the LQG feedback control is usedas a compensator The mixed disturbance is the sum of

the two previous disturbancesThe results of individual LQGfeedback control feedforward control and their combinationare presented in Figures 8 9 and 10 respectively

When the hybrid control system is engaged the feedbackcontroller with the same weights and the feedforward con-troller with the same filter length are used and the step sizeis set to be 05 to accelerate the convergence rate It can beseen from Figures 8(a) and 10(a) that at the end of 20 s thedisplacement amplitude produced by the hybrid controlleris much smaller than that of the LQG feedback controllerIt is also apparent that the fluctuation disappears during theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedfrom 10 s to 5 s when the hybrid controller is applied insteadof the feedforward controller Figure 11 shows that the hybridcontrol produces a smallerMSE than the feedforward controlThe maximum control voltage in the feedforward controllerachieves 210V However the control effort in the hybrid

controller is only about 110V a little larger than the stablecontrol voltage of the two single controller

45 The Performance Discussions to the Controllers Table 2lists the convergence situations for hybrid controller andFxLMS controller under different step sizes It can be seenthat the hybrid controller can converge over a larger range ofstep size This implies that the hybrid controller has a betterrobustness than the FxLMS controller

The effect of different step sizes on the performanceof ACLDplate with the FxLMS and hybrid controller isdiscussed It is seen in Figure 12 that when the step size isincreasedMSE decreases rapidly meanwhile the fluctuationincreasesThismeans that convergence process is not smoothanymore which results in the fluctuation of the controlvoltage shown in Figure 9(b) On the other hand at the end

of the iteration process the MSE approaches to the samevalue Figure 13 shows that MSE varies with iteration numberin hybrid control under different step sizes It can be seenclearly that the fluctuation is reduced substantially in theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedgreatly when the step size increases This results in a stablecontrol voltage in Figure 10(b)

In general the cancellation pathmodel of the feedforwardcontroller is obtained by the system identification algorithmTherefore the errors including amplitude error and phaseerror in the cancellation path has a significant effect on thecontroller performance Figures 14 and 15 show that the effectof phase errors of the cancellation path on the performanceof ACLDplate is considerable It is seen that when thephase error achieves 30∘ the control process in feedforwardcontrol will not converge anymore However when the phaseerror achieves 60∘ the control process is still convergent

in the hybrid control It can be concluded that the hybridcontrol is not sensitive to the phase error compared with thefeedforward control

Figure 16 shows the MSE using LQG feedback controlunder different119876matrix Figure 17 demonstrates the MSE byusing hybrid control under different119876matrix It can be foundthat the performance of the feedback control has a distinctfluctuation when different 119876 matrix is applied However theperformance of the hybrid control changes indistinctivelyThat implies that the hybrid control is more stable thanindividual LQG control

Based on the above discussions it can be inferred thatthe hybrid control will be a potential for vibration controlof aerospace and other structures The hybrid controllerdemonstrates a better performance than that of individualfeedbackfeedforward controller with different parametersMeanwhile even though one of individual controllers is out

The cantilever plateACLD is divided into 8 times 4 elementsFour ACLD composite elements are applied in the rootThe locations of the ACLD patches are decided accordingto the modal energy of the first mode [21] which is shownin Figure 4 A model reduction in which the deflection ofthe structure and displacements of the piezoelectric layer areselected to be master dofs and all others are slave dofsis performed according to the model reduction proceduresin Section 3 The bold point in Figure 3 is used as theexcited point and also the response point The comparisonof responses in frequency domain and time domain betweenthe original model and the reduced model is presented inFigure 5 It is clear that the dynamic response of the reducedmodel is nearly coordinate with the dynamic response of theoriginalmodel A SISO control system is considered to designindividual and hybrid controller The input is the controlvoltage applied to the ACLD treatments and the output isselected to be the displacement of the response point of theplate which is assumed to be measurable

42 The Control Results of the Feedback Controller The LQGfeedback controller is tested to mitigate the effects of stochas-tic disturbances A white noise mechanical disturbance ismodeled as process noise (input force disturbance) Theprocess noise is such a signal with 119864(119908119908119879) = 001119873

2 andthe measurement noise is a signal with 119864(119908119908119879) = 10minus101198812The output weighting matrix is set to be 119876 = 1 times 10

6 andthe control weighting matrix 119877 = 1 times 10minus5 In order to avoidthe depolarization the maximum control voltage applied topiezoelectric actuators is set to be 150V The control resultsand the control voltage are presented in Figure 6

As can be seen when compared to the PCLDplate sys-tem theACLD treatments can reduce the displacement of theresponse point of the plate significantly The control voltageis limited within 30VThismeans that the proposed feedbackcontrol is effective against the stochastic disturbance

43 The Control Results of the Feedforward Controller Thefeedforward controller based on adaptive FxLMS algorithmis designed to attenuate the effects of the harmonic point-force disturbance on the ACLDplate system in Figure 2 Thedisturbance frequency is close to the first natural frequencyof the ACLDplate system For convenience the estimationmodel of the plant cancellation path is substituted by thecontrol path (control voltage to measured displacement) inthe state space model After that the FxLMS algorithm isimplemented The filter length 119871 is set to be 32 and thestep size 119906 = 001 in the FxLMS controller The results arepresented in Figure 7

It can be seen that the displacement of the plate withACLD treatment is attenuated from 94mm to 008mm atthe end time of 20 s The control voltage is close to 50VThe vibration attenuation is improved substantially by ACLDtreatments when the adaptive FxLMS algorithm is applied Itis clear that the FxLMS algorithm is very useful to attenuatethe vibration of ACLDplate system excited by harmonicdisturbance

When the hybrid control system is engaged the feedbackcontroller with the same weights and the feedforward con-troller with the same filter length are used and the step sizeis set to be 05 to accelerate the convergence rate It can beseen from Figures 8(a) and 10(a) that at the end of 20 s thedisplacement amplitude produced by the hybrid controlleris much smaller than that of the LQG feedback controllerIt is also apparent that the fluctuation disappears during theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedfrom 10 s to 5 s when the hybrid controller is applied insteadof the feedforward controller Figure 11 shows that the hybridcontrol produces a smallerMSE than the feedforward controlThe maximum control voltage in the feedforward controllerachieves 210V However the control effort in the hybrid

45 The Performance Discussions to the Controllers Table 2lists the convergence situations for hybrid controller andFxLMS controller under different step sizes It can be seenthat the hybrid controller can converge over a larger range ofstep size This implies that the hybrid controller has a betterrobustness than the FxLMS controller

The effect of different step sizes on the performanceof ACLDplate with the FxLMS and hybrid controller isdiscussed It is seen in Figure 12 that when the step size isincreasedMSE decreases rapidly meanwhile the fluctuationincreasesThismeans that convergence process is not smoothanymore which results in the fluctuation of the controlvoltage shown in Figure 9(b) On the other hand at the end

of the iteration process the MSE approaches to the samevalue Figure 13 shows that MSE varies with iteration numberin hybrid control under different step sizes It can be seenclearly that the fluctuation is reduced substantially in theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedgreatly when the step size increases This results in a stablecontrol voltage in Figure 10(b)

In general the cancellation pathmodel of the feedforwardcontroller is obtained by the system identification algorithmTherefore the errors including amplitude error and phaseerror in the cancellation path has a significant effect on thecontroller performance Figures 14 and 15 show that the effectof phase errors of the cancellation path on the performanceof ACLDplate is considerable It is seen that when thephase error achieves 30∘ the control process in feedforwardcontrol will not converge anymore However when the phaseerror achieves 60∘ the control process is still convergent

in the hybrid control It can be concluded that the hybridcontrol is not sensitive to the phase error compared with thefeedforward control

Figure 16 shows the MSE using LQG feedback controlunder different119876matrix Figure 17 demonstrates the MSE byusing hybrid control under different119876matrix It can be foundthat the performance of the feedback control has a distinctfluctuation when different 119876 matrix is applied However theperformance of the hybrid control changes indistinctivelyThat implies that the hybrid control is more stable thanindividual LQG control

Based on the above discussions it can be inferred thatthe hybrid control will be a potential for vibration controlof aerospace and other structures The hybrid controllerdemonstrates a better performance than that of individualfeedbackfeedforward controller with different parametersMeanwhile even though one of individual controllers is out

It is worthmentioning that although the hybrid controllerpresented is shown theoretically with better performance fora singlemode vibration control the research for SISOMIMOvibration control of several modes using hybrid controlstrategies is more applicable in practical flexible structures ofaerospace and other engineering fields An attempt to addressthese issues is recommended to future studies

The effect of different step sizes on the performanceof ACLDplate with the FxLMS and hybrid controller isdiscussed It is seen in Figure 12 that when the step size isincreasedMSE decreases rapidly meanwhile the fluctuationincreasesThismeans that convergence process is not smoothanymore which results in the fluctuation of the controlvoltage shown in Figure 9(b) On the other hand at the end

of the iteration process the MSE approaches to the samevalue Figure 13 shows that MSE varies with iteration numberin hybrid control under different step sizes It can be seenclearly that the fluctuation is reduced substantially in theconvergence process and the convergence rate is improvedgreatly when the step size increases This results in a stablecontrol voltage in Figure 10(b)

In general the cancellation pathmodel of the feedforwardcontroller is obtained by the system identification algorithmTherefore the errors including amplitude error and phaseerror in the cancellation path has a significant effect on thecontroller performance Figures 14 and 15 show that the effectof phase errors of the cancellation path on the performanceof ACLDplate is considerable It is seen that when thephase error achieves 30∘ the control process in feedforwardcontrol will not converge anymore However when the phaseerror achieves 60∘ the control process is still convergent

in the hybrid control It can be concluded that the hybridcontrol is not sensitive to the phase error compared with thefeedforward control

Figure 16 shows the MSE using LQG feedback controlunder different119876matrix Figure 17 demonstrates the MSE byusing hybrid control under different119876matrix It can be foundthat the performance of the feedback control has a distinctfluctuation when different 119876 matrix is applied However theperformance of the hybrid control changes indistinctivelyThat implies that the hybrid control is more stable thanindividual LQG control

Based on the above discussions it can be inferred thatthe hybrid control will be a potential for vibration controlof aerospace and other structures The hybrid controllerdemonstrates a better performance than that of individualfeedbackfeedforward controller with different parametersMeanwhile even though one of individual controllers is out

It is worthmentioning that although the hybrid controllerpresented is shown theoretically with better performance fora singlemode vibration control the research for SISOMIMOvibration control of several modes using hybrid controlstrategies is more applicable in practical flexible structures ofaerospace and other engineering fields An attempt to addressthese issues is recommended to future studies

It is worthmentioning that although the hybrid controllerpresented is shown theoretically with better performance fora singlemode vibration control the research for SISOMIMOvibration control of several modes using hybrid controlstrategies is more applicable in practical flexible structures ofaerospace and other engineering fields An attempt to addressthese issues is recommended to future studies
