Abstract The purpose of this research is to analyse capacitively shunting distributed piezoelectric elements perfectly glued to the vibrating annular plate excited by harmonic displacement of the inner plate edge. The piezoelement is described by constitutive equations relating stresses and electric displacements with strains and electric field. The equations are coupled with the equations of plate motion by the surface strain terms. At joint circles between annular sections without and with the piezolayers the continuity of plate deflection, slope and curvature is considered. The free stress condition for the piezoelement constrains the strain value at inner and outer piezoelement edges. Results from numerical simulation show an influence of the external shunting capacity on the frequency and space dependent plate response. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

bers for structure-borne noise/vibration control. Passive vibration absorbers are conceptually simple devices consisting of a mass attached to a structure via a complex spring. The primary function of these devices is to increase the dynamic stiffness and therefore to change the natural absorber frequency. A shunting method has been developed for tuning the natural frequency of a piezoelectric element glued to beam surfaces. The passive vibration absorbers minimise vibration at a specific frequency related with a lightly damped structure. Large response reduction is only possible if the absorber is accurately tuned to the considered frequency. Therefore, an important feature of absorbers is the ability to be accurately tuned to the changing frequency. Tuning a mechanical absorber requires a change in either the mass or stiffness of the device. The electromechanical properties of a piezoceramic forcing element with an external passive electrical shunt circuit are used to alter the natural frequency [1]. An analytical distributed model of a piezoelectric vibration absorber was created to predict changes in natural frequency due to passive electrical shunting. Capacitive shunting alters the natural frequency of the actuators. A passive vibration absorber generally acts to minimise structural vibration at a specific frequency associated with the response of the lightly damped structural mode. This frequency is rarely stationary due to changing velocity. Maximum response reductions however are achived only if the absorber is lightly damped and accurately tuned to the frequency of concern. The vibration of two-dimensional structures excitated by a piezoelectric actuator has been modelled by Dimitriadis et al. [3] for rectangular plates and by Van Niekerk et al. [6] for circular plates. Van Niekerk, Tongue and Packard presented a comprehensive static model for a circular actuator and a coupled circular plate. Their static results were used to predict the dynamic behaviour of the coupled system, particularly to reduce acoustic transmissions. Piezoelectric transducers can be modelled as two-dimensional devices. The approach allows the distributed transducer shape to be included in the control design process for two-dimensional structures as an additional design parameter. The essence of the approach involves replacing the piezoactuators by forces and moments distributed along the piezoelements’ edges (e.g. Kim et al. [5]). The analytical basis for damping structural vibrations with piezoelectric materials and passive electrical circuits has been developed by Hagood and von Flotow [4]. A key feature of the tunable vibration absorber developed by Davis et al. [1,2] is the use of piezoelectric ceramic elements as part of the device stiffness. A discrete model of a piezoceramic vibration absorber was created to predict changes in natural frequency and damping due to passive electrical shunting. A comparison of passive and active damping of thermally induced vibrations of beams with piezolayers was given in [7]. Influence of an actuator shape on stabilisation of plate parametric vibrations has been developed in [8]. The goal of this research is to describe an annular piezoelectric vibration absorber of transverse vibrations of annular plate by using a consistent distributed model based on partial differential equations of system motion. The Kirchhoff annular plate of inner radius R1 and external radius R2 is divided into three sections and the dynamic behaviour of each section is analysed separately (cf. Fig. 1). The analysis is confined to axially symmetric modes. The absorbers are glued to the plate in the second

section a⬍r⬍b. The dynamic extensional strain on the plate surface is calculated by considering the dynamic coupling between the actuator and the plate, and by taking into account a perfect bonding (infinite shear stiffness). The plate motion is described by partial differential equations in the plate transverse displacement. The piezoelement is described by constitutive equations relating stresses and electric displacements with strains and electric field. The equations are coupled with the equations of plate motion by the surface strain term. Along circles of connection between sections the continuity of plate deflection, slope and curvature is considered. The free normal stress condition for the piezoelectric element at the location r=a and r=b constraints the strain values at these two locations. The plate is excited by a motion at the internal edge. The displacement is harmonically varying with a constant frequency. For boundary conditions at clamped and free edges, the joint conditions form a boundary value problem. For single frequency excitation the equations of motion become fourth order ordinary homogeneous differential equations, with solutions in the form of travelling waves in the plate. Results from numerical simulation show an influence of the external shunting capacity on the frequency and space dependent plate response. The effect of changing both resonance frequency and amplitude is observed in going from the open external circuit to the short external circuit.
2. Dynamic equation of axisymmetric plate motion Fig. 1 shows a Kirchhoff thin annular plate with identical piezoceramic elements mounted on opposite sides of the plate. The annular piezolayers perpendicularly polarised to the plate surface are conected with an external passive electric shunt circuit, which can be used to alter the natural frequencies of the continuous structure. The effective bending stiffness of the plate is adjusted electrically using a capacitive shunt-circuit. The piezolayers are perfectly bonded to the plate, which implies strain continuity at the bonding interface. As the axisymmetrical motion is considered the plate is divided into three annular sections as shown in Fig. 1, and the motion of the plate in each section is analysed separately. Consider a finite element of radial length dr in the second section. The radial stresses in the piezolayers are assumed to be uniformly distributed in the direction

5. Results and conclusions Numerical calculations based on the formulas presented in the previous sections are performed for a wide range of angular frequency and wo=0.001 m and e3r=e3t. To include the damping effect in the plate material the Voigt–Kelvin model with a complex Young’s modulus Ep and with a retardation time l=5×10−6 s is used in the numerical calculations. Due to a harmonic oscillation the Young’s modulus of the plate Ep is replaced by Ep(1+ilw), where i=√−1. The parameters of the plate and piezoelectric elements used in the calculations are listed in Table 1. Fig. 2 shows the response of the plate outer edge (displacement) to the harmonic displacement of the inner plate edge for the extreme values of shunting capacity

Both the open circuit and the short circuit plots are shown. A reduction of approximately 15 dB may be seen at a frequency of w=6800 1/s while going from a large value of shunting capacity to the open circuit. Approaching the open circuit the resonance frequency is approximately 8% larger than the short circuit resonance frequency (i.e. when Csh is very large compared to Cpe. Fig. 4 illustrates the effect of varying the shunt capacity on the spatial shape of forced vibration at w=7000 1/s. The open circuit and the short circuit correspond to Csh=0.01 Cpe and Csh=1000Cpe, respectively. The influence of a light material damping is negligible out of the resonance (cf. Fig. 5). A dynamic distributed model has been developed which is able to predict the behaviour of the piezoelectric vibration absorber. Electrically shunting piezoelectric annular plates with a capacitive electrical impedance have changed boundary con-
