Forced vibrations and vibration heating of viscoelastic beams with piezoelectric sensors and actuators (Q2808418)

The authors consider a problem on forced resonance vibrations and vibration heating of flexible viscoelastic beams with piezoelectric sensors and actuators. The viscoelastic behavior of passive (without piezoeffect) and piezoactive materials is described in terms of instantaneous and complex moduli. To solve the coupled nonlinear problem of electroviscoelasticity and heat conduction a method of quasilinearization is used together with the numerical methods of discrete ortogonalization and finite differences. The effect of boundary conditions and geometric nonlinearity on the dynamic characteristics, sensor electrical indicators and flexible beam vibration heating temperature is investigated. For active damping of beams, a method is proposed for the actuator indicator calculation on the basis of the sensor indicator under unknown external loading.
