A Technique for Vibration Cancellation Using a Second Order Piezoelectric Actuator Model

Abstract

This thesis shows that it is feasible to use a piezoelectric actuator that is bonded to a vibrating surface in order to produce a non-vibrating composite surface. The proposed feedback system for vibration cancellation employs multiplying digital-to-analog converters to realize digital control of the analog compensation circuitry. The equivalent electronic model for the piezoactuator is presented along with a description and analysis of the vibration cancellation circuitry. Cancellation effectiveness of the feedback system that uses a Sallen and Key circuit to simulate the piezoactuator is experimentally determined as a function of frequency for piezoactuator quality factors ranging from 0.5 to 5. Utilizing digital control, a 40 dB reduction of the input disturbance at the resonant frequency of the piezoactuator model has been achieved for Q=5.
