Optimization of the location of piezoelectric actuator and sensor in active vibration control using Multi-Verse Optimizer algorithm

Abstract

In the process of using piezoelectric actuators and sensors to actively control the vibration of flexible structures, the controllability and spillover effect of the system are often the focus of attention, and the location of piezoelectric actuators and sensors is one of the key factors affecting controllability and spillover effect. In this paper, the residual modes are introduced into the location optimization criteria of actuators and sensors, so that the energy can drive as much as possible the eigenmodes that need to be controlled, and avoid driving the residual eigenmodes. At the same time, a modified Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO) algorithm is used to optimize the location of piezoelectric actuators and sensors. The important results obtained in this paper are compared with the results obtained by the finite element simulation software to verify the accuracy of the relevant derivation results, and the optimization simulation of the position of piezoelectric actuator and the simulation of vibration control are carried out. The simulation results showed that, the MVO algorithm is very suitable for solving the optimization problems that these criteria are non-convex and difficult to derive, and the resulting optimized layout can effectively suppress vibration.

Modal signal analysis of parabolic shell structures with flexoelectric sensors

“…Consequently, smart material-based sensors have emerged as pivotal components for structural intelligence, garnering extensive attention across various fields in recent years. Examples include active vibration control (Dong et al, 2020; Jamshidi and Jafari, 2022; Li and Lyu, 2014; Wu et al, 2022), structural health detection (Maheshwari et al, 2017; Ramakrishnan et al, 2016), and biomedicine (Guo et al, 2020; Materon et al, 2021). Some research introduced innovative sensor technologies with diverse applications: a split-core magnetoelectric current sensor for wireless and self-powered current measurement in power systems, a space-crawling robotic bio-paw equipped with a self-powered touch-sensing system based on triboelectric nanogenerator technology for real-time multi-dimensional surface perception (Hou et al, 2023; Lu et al, 2022; Xu et al, 2023).…”

Analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric structures by Hermite interpolation element-free Galerkin method

“…In recent decades, piezoelectric materials have been widely used in industry for their potential applications as the sensors and actuators in smart structures (Alasatri et al, 2022; Ma et al, 2019; Wu et al, 2023; Zhang et al, 2023). Generally, the piezoelectric materials are either bonded to the surfaces or embedded into the interior of the host structures in the form of patches.…”
