Abstract

Dynamic interaction between an integrated induced strain actuator and its host structure depends on the driving point mechanical impedance of the host structure and the mechanical impedance of the actuator. For the case of several actuators, the individual actuator/structure impedance will not only depend on the driving point host structural impedance, but also on the electromechanical coupling with the other actuators. In this paper, a general dynamic model of a structure driven by multiple actuators is presented, as based on an impedance modeling approach developed for a single actuator. The basic formulation is provided in terms of structural admittance of an arbitrary structure and dynamic transduction relations of transducers. It can be easily applied to any form of structure and actuators, even an electromagnetic shaker, provided their dynamic transduction relations can be developed. The developed theoretical model has been used to predict the dynamic response of a simply- supported beam with several bonded piezoelectric actuators activated simultaneously. Experiments have also been conducted which validate the theoretical model.
