Band gap study of periodic piezoelectric micro-composite laminated plates by finite element method and its application in feedback control
Résumé
Phononic crystals are materials or structures with periodic variations of elastic constants and density. Elastic waves in phononic crystals cannot propagate within a certain frequency range, called the band gap, due to the interference of their internal structure. This article investigates how fiber orientation affects the band gap properties of periodic micro-composite laminated plates. We examined the impact of five common composite laminate configurations on the system's band gap and discovered that the antisymmetric configuration had superior high-frequency band gap performance. Based on this finding, we further explored how the antisymmetric angle influenced the system's band gap. Since the study was conducted at a micro scale, micro structural effects were considered. Therefore, we used the modified coupled stress elastic dynamics and a four-node quadrilateral non-conforming element to discretize the micro composite laminated plate model, which had the nodal compatibility of high-order elasticity theory. Moreover, we employed feedback control to the proposed structure to dynamically adjust the band gap width according to different practical needs. This research supports the design of periodic micro-composite laminated plates and the piezoelectric feedback control system, which can control the vibration and wave propagation behaviors of micro structures using coupled piezoelectric sensors and actuators. The piezoelectric feedback control employed two control methods: direct proportional control and acceleration control. This article compared the single and multiple control methods of these two approaches to determine the optimal control strategy.
