The control of stability of a column subjected to specific load

Abstract

In this paper the problem of vibration control of a multi-member column subjected to the specific load is investigated. The vibration control is realized with the use of the piezoceramic element in the form of a rod that is connected to the host structure by means of the pins strengthened by rotational springs. The Hamilton's principle is used during formulation of the boundary problem. The results of the numerical simulations are focused on the correction of the characteristic curves shape at a different radius of the loading head.
