Selection of Parameters of External Electric Circuit for Control of Dynamic Flexibility of a Mechatronic System

Abstract

This paper deals with the analysis of mechatronic systems including piezoelectric materials used as sensors or actuators for stabilization and damping of mechanical vibration. This work presents the analysis of the flexural vibrating one-dimensional mechatronic system – a cantilever beam and the piezoelectric transducer bonded on the beam surface by means of a glue layer. The external RC circuit is connected to the transducer clamps. Dynamic equations of motion of the considered mechatronic system were written down using the discrete-continuous mathematical model, taking into consideration the influence of the connection layer and the external electric circuit. Dynamic flexibility of the mechatronic system was assigned on the basis of the approximate Galerkin method.
