Suppressing vibration in a multilayers composite material plate using quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization and sliding mode control system

In this paper, a quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization sliding mode control system (QPSOSM) is proposed to suppress the vibration of a multilayers composite material plate. Moreover, in this paper, fabricating a suppresser vibration setup box (SVSB) for the problem of an active vibration of a cantilevered 1-clamped 3-free composite plate is investigated. A mesh-free method is employed to create the shape functions. Also, the formulation of the problem is based on the classical laminated plate theory and the principle of virtual displacements. In this study, a function of the sliding surface is considered as an objective function and then the control effort is produced by the quantum particle swarm method and the sliding mode control strategy. At the end, the performance of the proposed QPSOSM control system and the fabricated SVSB controller are shown by simulation and experimental results.
