Active vibration control of rotating smart bidirectional FGPTC subjected to internal mechanical shock

This study considers the active vibration control of a sandwich truncated cone, whose intermediate layer is made of bidirectional functionally graded (FG) porous material bonded with integrated piezoelectric actuator and sensor layers on its outer and inner surfaces. The material properties of the bidirectional functionally graded porous truncated cone (FGPTC), with even and uneven porosity distributions along the length and thickness directions, are changed using a power law function. The governing motion equations utilize the two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric theory of elasticity rather than simple shell theories. The solving of the governing motion equations is accomplished through the utilization of graded finite element and Newmark methods. The study investigates the impact of dimensions, parameters, and porosity types on transient response behavior, including the semi-vertex angle and the ratio of truncated cone length to outer radius. Furthermore, the effects of power index, porosity volume fractions, rotational velocities, and boundary conditions are examined. Active vibration control (AVC) of the piezoelectric FGPTC is achieved by employing a closed-loop control algorithm based on velocity feedback. Several numerical simulations are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed active vibration control system in reducing structural vibrations. The results demonstrate significant reductions in vibration amplitudes and improved structural stability achieved through the active control approach.
