Özet:

This paper presents a fuzzy-logic-based observer and a positive position feedback controller to reduce a standard beam's free vibrations using a piezoelectric actuator. It is aimed that fuzzy-logic-based observer is used as feed-through and improves the overall performance of the PPF controller. For this aim, the cantilever beam and a piezoelectric patch are initially numerically modeled using the finite element method considering the close loop control algorithm. The displacement and strain responses results are compared with the experimental model. Then, two controllers are applied to the designed system: positive position feedback (PPF) and fuzzy-logic-based positive position feedback (FLBPPF). The uncontrolled and controlled system responses are investigated and compared in terms of the linear strain and tip displacement results. Using the FLBPPF controller, the settling times of controlled systems are decreased by about 20.7% and 41.6% regarding the linear strain and tip displacement response compared to the PPF controller.
