A self-sensing actuator constructed by four laminated piezoelectric films is developed toward the smart vibration control of two-dimensional structures. First, three kinds of mechanisms of self-sensing acutuators with two or four laminated piezoelectric films are proposed by examining the combinations of film construction and bridge circuits of analog electric controllers. And those self-sensing actuators are applied to the free vibration control of the first mode of a cantilever beam and it is ascertained that the vibration suppression effects are obtained by all the three mechanisms and the theories show good agreements with the experiments. Finally, the mechanism constructed by four laminated piezoelectric films is applied to the vibration control of a simply-supported rectangular plate as an example of two-dimensional structures and it is verified that the vibration control effect is actually obtained and the theory agrees well with the experiment.
