Abstract
This paper focuses on the design, dynamic analysis, control and experimental verifications of intelligent composite structural systems with simultaneous precision positioning and vibration suppression capabilities. First, the architecture of the entire system is introduced. The configuration of the active composite panel is then determined, and its dynamics is analyzed and evaluated by the finite element method and experiments. An adaptive feedforward control scheme is proposed to perform precision positioning and vibration suppression simultaneously. The satisfactory experimental performance has been achieved, confirming that the intelligent composite structural system can reliably and efficiently produce precision position and full vibration suppression.
