A novel control law based on the sliding-mode control is proposed for energy-recycling vibration suppression of a structure with piezoelectric transducers. The performance of vibration suppression with the proposed control law is investigated and compared with that of the previously proposed control law based on LQR control theory. Numerical simulations of vibration suppression with a 10-bay truss structure show that the proposed control law is effective in suppressing vibration. Through experiments of vibration suppression with a truss structure, the proposed control law is shown to suppress single-mode and multiple-mode vibrations of actual structure. Although the proposed control law is derived in a different way from the previous control law, the two methods are found to have similar coefficients of modal velocities in the control index.
