This paper proposes a semi-active method for vibration control of aluminum plate using piezoelectric energy-harvesting technique. The energy-harvesting technique scavenges electrical energy from the vibration energy of structure using piezoelectric transducers embedded or bonded to the structure, and requires no external power sources. Combining the piezoelectric energy-harvesting technique with semi-active method enhances the performance of vibration suppression. A vibration suppression experiment of aluminum plates is carried out to verify the validity of the present method. The results show that the proposed vibration control system is effective.
