Abstract
This study proposes a novel piezoelectric friction damper (PFD). Experiments and numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the mechanical model of the PFD, and the effects of loading speed, displacement amplitude, voltage, friction plate material, piezoelectric stack actuator dimensions, and spring parameters on the hysteretic characteristics of the PFD. Results show that the PFD attains a stable mechanical performance within the design loading speed and displacement amplitude. The piezoelectric stack actuator functioning as a friction control device, can increase friction by 54% at 120 V. In damper design, an appropriate increase of the constraint stiffness of the damper and a piezoelectric stack actuator with the same stiffness as the damper constraint can achieve greater output force, and the preload of the spring should be greater than the friction to prevent residual displacement. The PFD has better seismic performance for large-span cable dome structures than the traditional friction damper. The vertical peak displacement and acceleration reduction ratio reached 45.1% and 67.7% with PFDs, respectively. The PFD with semi-active control is suitable for large-span spatial structures.
