INTRODUCTION Planar structures as membranes or plates do not usually vibrate in vacuo. They affect and are affected by the surrounding media which were in contact with their surfaces. The vibration and sound radiation of circular plates have been studied by many researchers since it is a significant structural element in many industrial fields. Lord Rayleigh was the first person who analised the “reaction of the air on a vibrating circular plate” (Rayleigh 1929), showing that reaction to be equivalent to a virtual mass, and radiation damping to be added to the plate mass and the mechanical damping. Modal coupling, radiation efficiency and radiation impedance were employed in the last several years, where the problem of attenuating structure-borne noise was considered (Gu 1993; Junger 1986; Rosenhouse 2001). In this case the cost function is derived from the far-field radiated pressure (radiation control). Thus, for the closed-loop system re- sponse, the overall radiation efficiency is reduced while the overall plate vibration amplitude is not satisfactorily attenuated or sometimes even increased. This paper investigates the application of an active control system to reduce the vibration of a circular plate which is fluid-loaded and clamped at a finite baffle. The formal solution of the fluid-plate coupled equation is presented for a plate driven by a uniform harmonic primary force and controlled by a distributed secondary force generated by piezodisks. For the considered fluid-plate system, the state space realization is given. Three parameters which characterise fluid density, plate material internal damping and viscous fluid damping are included in the considered model. It is well- known that the dynamic behaviour of the linear systems depends strongly on the location of the models’ roots (zeros and poles). To examine the stability of the system and the influence of fluid-loading as well as structural internal damping and viscous damping, the roots of the system with * Institute of Technology, Rzeszow University of Technology, [email protected] 18 MECHANICS Vol. 27 No. 1 2008 assumed parameters were plotted on a complex plane. This enables the use of a method for determining the transfer function of a controller which places the poles of the closed-system at some desired locations to suppress a plate vibration. The effects of fluid-loading and viscous damping on the system response are observed and presented graphically. Finally, the feedback control law is developed for the minimization of the plate vibration. 2. FLEXURAL VIBRATIONS OF A CIRCULAR PLATE The structure under study is a vibrating circular plate of radius a, having a constant thickness h (Fig. 1), surrounded by a lossless medium with static density r0. It is assumed that the plate, clamped in a flat, rigid and finite baffle of radius b, (b>r>a, z=0) is made of a homogeneous isotropic material with density r, and has Kelvin-Voigt internal damping. It is assumed that the plate is excited on one side by a uniform periodic force with constant amplitude F0 generated by a loudspeaker f w ( r, t ) = F0 e – iwt for 0£r £a (2.2) and it radiates into free space filled with fluid of density r 0 . The system model is formulated when taking into account the coupling effect between the structure and the acoustic medium, so the third component of the right hand side of equation (2.2), f p ( r, t ), represents the acoustic fluid-loading acting on the plate as an additional force. The value of this force exerted by the fluid on the plate surface can be calculated as follows (Junger 1986): f p ( r, t ) = – p( r, z , t ) z=0 (2.3) where p( r, z = 0, t ) is the acoustic pressure at the point on the surface of the plate. The acoustic waves propagate through the fluid must satisfy the wave equation (Malecki 1964): 1 ¶ 2 p( r, z , t ) Ñ 2 p( r, z , t ) = (2.4) c2 ¶t 2 where Ñ 2 is the two-dimensional Laplace operator, and c is sound velocity in the fluid. At the fluid-structure interface, the pressure must satisfy the boundary condition (Junger 1986): ¶p( r, z , t ) ¶n Fig. 1. A circular plate in a rigid baffle of radius b In the case being considered, the applied loading and end restraints of the circular plate are independent of the angle j (axially symmetrical vibrations), thus we can write the governing differential equation of the forced motion of the plate as follows (Leniowska 2005): BÑ 4 w( r, t ) + R + rh ¶ 2 ¶t 2 ¶ ¶ [Ñ 4 w( r, t )] + g w( r, t ) + ¶t ¶t (2.1) w( r, t ) = f w ( r, t ) + f s ( r, t ) + f p ( r, t ) where: B = Eh 3 / 12(1– v 2 ) – bending stiffness of the plate, E, n and R – Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and Kelvin-Voigt damping coefficient for the plate, r – density for the combined structure, g – viscous fluid damping coefficient. The displacement w(r,t) and its derivative ¶w( r, t ) / ¶r satisfy the boundary condition for a clamped plate: they both equal zero at the edge of the plate. z = 0 =– r0 ¶2 ¶t 2 && ( r, t ) (2.5) w( r, t ) = – r 0 w with n denoting the normal to the structure. In the case in which the acoustic pressure radiates from the plate vibrating harmonically, the wave equation reduces to the Helmholtz equation (Ñ 2 + k 0 ) p( r, z ) = 0 (2.6) where: p(r, z) – pressure amplitude, k0 = w/c – acoustic wave number at frequency w. The goal in the control problem is to determine a control force f s ( r, t ) which, when applied to the plate (realized via a voltage u(t) for the assumed actuators), leads to a reduced level of vibration. The second component in the Eq. (2.1) represents such a wanted control force, f s = ( r, t ), which will cancel the plate vibrations. The location of actuators (a pair of piezodisks) is assumed to be in the middle of the plate. 3. STATE-SPACE SYSTEM MODEL To approximate the plate dynamics, a Fourier-Bessel expansion of the plate displacement is used to discretize the infinite dimensional system (2.1). The plate displacement can be approximated by N w N ( r, t ) = å sm ( t )w m ( r ) (3.1) m 19 Lucyna LENIOWSKA VIBRATION CONTROL OF A FLUID-LOADED CIRCULAR PLATE VIA POLE PLACEMENT where N is considered to be a finite number suitably large for the accurate modelling the system dynamics and w m ( r )is the (0, m) plate mode described as follows (Malecki, 1964) é æ r ö J (g ) æ r öù w m ( r ) = u 0 m êJ 0 ç g m ÷ – 0 m I 0 ç g m ÷ú (3.2) a ø I 0 (g m ) è a øû ë è J 0 ( x ), I 0 ( x )designate the cylinder functions, g m = k m a is the m-th root of the frequency equation and sm ( t ) is the corresponding modal amplitude in time t. The eigenfunctions satisfy the ortogonality condition and can be normalized as follows: ò ò wm (r )dS = pa 2 2 (3.3) S (n´n) state matrix, B is the (n´m) control input matrix, V is (1´n) disturbance matrix, described as follows: 0 é A=ê –1 2 ë– ( I + E) W 1 ù –(m 2 + m 1 W )(I + E) úû 0 0 é ù ù é B =ê , V =ê ú ú –1 –1 ë( I + E ) K w û ë( I + E) K s û 2 –1 (3.12) In above expression I denotes identity matrix, KS and KW are the coefficient vectors, E represents fluid-plate interaction matrix, W = diag [ w1 , w2 ,.. , w N ]. It is assumed, that the response of the considered plate to the applied force distribution is measured by a set of linearly independent point sensors, situated at locations r on the plate. The output equation in matrix form is In a similar way let us expand the right side of the plate equation of motion (2.1) into series: y( t ) = Cx( t ) (3.13) where N f wN ( r, t ) = å z m ( t )w m ( r ) (3.4) m N f sN ( r, t ) = å u m ( t )w m ( r ) (3.5) m N f p ( r, t ) = p N ( r, z = 0, t ) = å p m ( t )w m ( r ) (3.6) m Inserting above expansions into the equation (2.1), multiplying both sides by the orthogonal eigenfunction w n ( r ), and integrating over the surface of the structure, the governing equation of motion can be re-expressed as: N å[ s&&m (t ) + (m 1w2m + m 2 )s&m (t ) + wm2 sm (t ) = zm (t ) + um (t ) + pm (t )] z m (t )ü ï u m ( t ) ý = ò ò f j ( r, t )w m ( r )dS , j = w, s, p; m =1, 2, .. , N (3.8) p m ( t )ïþ S stand for the generalised modal forces (3.9) The modal model presented above can now be expressed in the state-space format.

For the analysis in this paper, water, propane, air and aluminium were chosen to respectively represent the acoustic fluid material and material of the plate, to ensure strong, moderate and light coupling between the structural and acoustic response. In the Figure 2 the location of poles and zeros of the eight-order system is presented in air, for two values of parameter m1 (and constant m2). It can be seen that the values of internal damping coefficient m1 have considerable influence on systems’ root locations. The following rules may be formulated when the parameter m1 increases (Fig. 2): – the complex roots of the system migrate to the circle with the radius of 1/(2m1), – the number of complex roots diminishes – they become real roots, – the real roots move along the real axis: half of them migrate towards the middle of the circle and the second half to the – ¥. MECHANICS Vol. 27 No. 1 2008 Fig. 2. Distribution of poles and zeros of the considered system in air for m 2 = 0.5; a) m 1 = 0.00002; b) m 1 = 0.00004; o – zeros; § – poles On the basis of the pole locations we can make a conclusion about the system dynamics which may be observed on the Bode diagram (Fig. 3). Figure 3 presents the results obtained in air for three values of internal damping coefficient m1 and constant value of fluid damping parameter m2, when the acoustic and structural wave numbers are equal: kv0= kp. It can be seen that for m1 = 0.0001122, the resonance frequency of the first and second mode of the considered plate are dominated. However, for lower values of m1 the third resonance frequency close to 500 Hz appears and the phase characteristic becomes more complicated. Fig. 3. Bode diagram of the fluid-plate system in air: 1) m 1 = 0.0001122; 2) m 1 = 0.000022; 3) m 1 = 0.000044 It is worth to note that the modification of parameter m2, assuming the linear bandwidth 0.1–100 sN/m3, does not change root locations noticeably and can be observed on the Bode diagram in the vicinity of the resonance peaks. The third parameter included in the model derived, the r fluid-loading term e 0 = 0 (Crighton 1989), is helpful for rhk 0 examining the influence of the fluid surrounding the considered plate. Taking some values of the fluid density r0 (m1 and m2 are constant now) it may be seen (Fig. 4) how the localization of system roots is changed for different values of e0. For the increasing density of the surrounding fluid medium, the roots of the considered system move to point (0, 0) on the complex plane. The Bode diagram (Fig. 4) reveals an additional feature which is important for the correct design of controller transfer function, namely a phase shift, especially for low frequency radiated acoustic waves (Fig. 4a). It can be seen that when the fluid density alters (increases), the resonance frequencies and the appropriate phase characteristics diminish. As a result of the fluid coupling the response of the plate in fluid can be significantly different from responses in vacuo. It can also be observed, that the effect of the fluid-loading on the considered plate is dependent on the frequency of the vibration. In the case of lower frequencies, the shift of the resonance peak is greater (Fig. 5a) and when the operating frequency increases it diminishes. To best illustrate this effect, Figure 6 shows the Bode diagrams of the system in water (where the strong coupling can be theoretically assumed) for the ‘lower’ (Fig. 6a) and ‘higher’ frequencies of acoustic waves (Fig. 6b). An examination of the system dynamics shows that the wavenumber spectrum of the sound pressure can be divided into two domains. Below the null frequency defined as fn = r 0 c0 2prh , the surrounding fluid mass-loads the plate and the effective mass of the plate increases. In this case the fluid-loading acts mainly as a mass-loading and the resonances peaks are moved towards lower frequencies. 21 Lucyna LENIOWSKA VIBRATION CONTROL OF A FLUID-LOADED CIRCULAR PLATE VIA POLE PLACEMENT a) b) Fig. 4.

FEEDBACK CONTROL The aim of the project is to design a control system to modify the response of the plant in some desired fashion. The closed-loop setup is sketched in the Figure 7. Fig. 5.

The order of the controller should be equal to the number of considered modes in the system model. Since we are basically interested in damping the dominating vibrating modes and a loworder controller is generally preferred for physical implementation reasons, we take into account first four modes only. The open-loop zeros and poles locations of the plant are depicted in the Figure 8. Fig. 9. Poles and zeros of closed-loop fluid-plate system in air, o – zeros; x – poles; g – active point of root locus After a series of attempts we obtained fourth-order controller with the following values (Tab. 1). Table 1 Poles and zeros of designed controller Gain Poles Zeros –209 ±392 i –96 ±250 i –279 ±1500 i –205 800 i 200 Fig. 8. Poles and zeros of open-loop fluid-plate system in air: m 1 = 0.00004; o – zeros; n – poles In theory, if the system is controllable, the poles and zeros can be placed anywhere to improve close system performance. It can be done in two ways: analytically by solving the linear system of equation with (m+n)´(m+n) non-singular Sylvester matrix: On the Bode magnitude plot of the Figure 10, we can notice the significant reduction in the resonance peaks of the dominating vibrating modes of the closed-loop system in air. It can be seen that the uncontrolled plate response vibrates significantly while the controller causes that plate dominant modes have been reduced very well for two values of internal damping coefficient. However, there are some disadvantages of pole placement control. First of them is steady-state error which appears usually in closed-loop system (Fig. 11). 23 Lucyna LENIOWSKA VIBRATION CONTROL OF A FLUID-LOADED CIRCULAR PLATE VIA POLE PLACEMENT a) This problem can be improved by an appropriate reference signal correction or by applying cascade structure of control system. The next disadvantage of polynomial pole placement control is numerical troubles for higher order of Diofantine equation. It is well-known that linear algebra problems involving polynomials are generally ill-conditioned. A frequency scaling or alternative polynomial bases (Chebyshev, Bernstein, orthogonal polynomials) can probably help to improve numerical conditioning. 6. FINAL REMARKS b) Fig. 10. Compared Bode magnitude plots of the open-loop and closed-loop system in air for and two values of internal damping: a) m1 = 0.0001122; b) m2 = 0.000022; — open-loop; - - - closed-loop The problem of active suppression of the plate vibration of the fluid-loaded plate has been solved by means of using pole placement method. The mathematical model of the considered system includes the influence the acoustic wave radiated by the plate interacting on its surface due to the coupling mechanism. In addition, Kelvin-Voigt damping in the plate material and viscous fluid damping has been taken into account. It has been observed that the fluid-loading has two main effects on the vibrating plate – in dependence on the operating frequency it causes either damping or a mass-loading. The obtained controller was verified by testing the plate displacement response obtained for chirp disturbance. Comparing the structural and acoustic responses for the open and close-loop systems, it can be seen that the obtained controller was damped the output signal very well. The main disadvantage of this method: a steady-state error can be improved by an appropriate correction of reference signal or by applying a cascade structure of control system.
