Abstract
The object of present paper is a pick up and a suppression of specific vibration modes which occur such problems, it means here low frequency modes, among all of generated vibration modes in structure. Fist of all, a design of modal sensor made of PVDF film is proposed to pick up only low frequency modes separately by using FEM analysis. Then, an applied method of SMA actuator, which can generate great force in a field of low frequency, is explained. By using these PVDF modal sensor and SMA moment actuator, vibration model can be simplified by means of modification to low dimensions. Consequently, modal control system, which suppresses only low frequency vibration modes, is constructed. At the end of the present paper, effect of this control system is demonstrated experimentally.
