A capacitive shunt is introduced into the circuitry to provide passive control of the beam s configuration. The energy method is used to develop the structure s governing equations. In order to select the appropriate electrostatic relations for the material, i.e. conductor or insulator material, the free charge rearrangement time is used. The effects of the capacitive shunt are introduced into the electrostatic relations using additive decomposition of capacitance. As an application of the model, a piezo-elastic beam restrictor using a capacitive shunt is investigated. Numerical results show that the capacitive shunt can effect passive control of the configuration of the beam. Keywords: passive control, piezo-elastic, deflection 1. Introduction Piezoelectric materials represent a relatively new approach to vibration suppression and static shape control. By their nature, piezoelectric materials are well suited for use as dampers and shape control elements. When an electric potential is applied to the piezoelectric material, a corresponding strain is observed. Conversely, straining a piece of piezoelectric material induces an electric potential across the element. Due to these properties, piezoelectrics can function as sensors and actuators for active monitoring and control of the structure s response. Piezoelectric materials can also be used in components of passive damping systems, thus eliminating the need for complex control and feedback systems. They can provide passive damping by using electrical impedance as a dissipating shunt. As the structure deforms, the attached piezoelectric element deforms and an electric field is induced in response. The electrical shunt in turn dissipates the electrical energy, thereby altering the system s response. tq308s-e/377 4 XII 2004 BOP s.c.,

This was achieved with the use of a non-homogeneous charge relation. Additionally, brackets were used to distance the piezoelectric elements from the surface of the beam. In this study we show that electrons cannot move freely within the piezoelectric material(which is typical of all dielectrics) and thus do not contribute to the electric current in the direct and converse piezoelectric effects. Hence, the boundary condition for charge is a homogeneous relation. The effect of a capacitive shunt is investigated along those lines as well. 2. Problem formulation 2.1. Free charge rearrangement time Sinceweareinterestedinwhathappenstoachargewhichisplacedinside a conducting material, we will consider the continuity equation. The relation between thecurrentdensityjandthetimerateofchangeofthefreechargedensityρat a point is given by the continuity equation: J+ ρ =0, (1) t wheretistime.anycurrentthatwillflowasaresultofachargewithafreecharge densityρcanbeexpressedusingohm slaw,j=σe,whereσiselectricconductivity andeistheelectricfield.thisgivesthedivergenceofthecurrentdensityinterms oftheelectricfieldas J=σ E.Thedivergenceofthiselectricfieldcanbe expressedintermsofchargedensityas E=ρ/ɛ,whereɛisthedielectricconstant. By substituting into Equation(1), the following differential equation is obtained for the time variation of charge density ρ(t) at an arbitrary point within the conducting material: ρ t +σ ρ=0. (2) ɛ Thesolutionofthisequationisgivenby: ρ(t)=ρ 0 e t/t. (3) WedenotethefreechargerearrangementtimebyT=ɛ/σ.Inthepresenceofsignals that vary with time, the definition of a good conductor will be that the rearrangement time T must be very short in comparison with the signal s period. The converse applies for an insulator. We obtain the following for the time required for an initial distribution ρ 0 todecayto36.8%ofitsvalue: T PZT = ɛ rɛ σ = CV 1 m CV 1 m 1 s 1 =29.5h, (4) whereɛ r istherelativedielectricconstantforthe PZTmaterialandɛ= F/misthedielectricconstantofair.Wenoteherethatfreeelectronsinthe PZT material cannot move freely within the material and thus do not contribute to the current when an external potential is applied. For practical purposes, we can now concludethatnofreechargecanbedepositedinorextractedfromthevolumeofpzt materials. tq308s-e/378 4 XII 2004 BOP s.c.,
3 An Analysis of a Piezo-elastic Restrictor Using a Capacitive Shunt Balance equations We restrict our considerations to a fairly simple class of piezo-elastic materials which is concerned with laminates that are symmetric in their geometry and material properties about the middle surface. Within this class, the bending and extension coupling stiffness can be ignored. We also conceive of a spatially continuous representation of a piezo-elastic structure in which kinematic behaviour is represented by variables u, a vector displacement field, and φ, a scalar electric potential. The free energy density of the structure is assumed to be a homogeneous, convex and quadratic function F of the kinematic variables. A small change in the kinematic variables, at constant temperature, leads to: df(u,φ)= F u du+ F φ dφ =Rdu Qdφ. (5) The internal forces, R, are conjugate to the displacement field vector, u. The electric charge,q,isconjugatetotheelectricpotential,φ.theminussignischosensothat Q measures the outward flux of the electric charge through the enclosing surface. As aconsequenceoftheassumptionmadeonf,bothrandqarelinearinuandφ, namely: R=Ku+Gφ, Q=G T u Hφ, (6) wherekisthelaplacianoperatorofthevectorfield,gisthegradientoperatorof thescalarfield,g T isthegradientoperatorofthevectorfield,histhelaplacian operator of the scalar field and the T superscript indicates the transpose. For real materials,kandharesymmetric,andpositivedefinite.sincerandqarelinear combinations of kinematic variables, it follows that F can be written as: F= 1 2 { u φ } T [ K G G T H ]{ u φ }.

Therefore, for practical purposes, we takeρ s =0,whichmeansthattheinitialcharge-freesurfacewillremainchargefree. Consequently, the electric flux vector per unit surface becomes zero. Besides, piezoelectric materials(like all dielectrics) do not contain any free chargeinsidetheboundingsurfaceandnonetfreechargecanbeenclosedinthe volume occupied by the material(in the context of current application). It then follows that the electric flux density vector D for the piezo-elastic structure is divergence-free, i.e. D=0.Hence,thetotalchargeisahomogeneousfunction,i.e.Q=0.

For static analysis, equilibrium is attained when R(t)=P(t).

The symmetry conditions in geometry and material are observed. Continuity of the generalised forces and kinematic variables has also been enforced.

This indicates that the weaker elastic part of the beam is reduced while the stiffer piezo-elastic part is increased. As a result, the entire beam becomes stiffer. Figure4showsthemaximumdeflectionat0 ratio 1000fortheβvalues given above. The results indicate that the influence of capacitive is bounded. At low shuntcapacitance,i.e.β=0,thestiffnessofthepiezo-elasticpartofthebeamisat itsminimum.thisisdepictedbythemaximumdeflectionatthisstate.astheshunt capacitance is increased, stiffness approaches its maximum. At this point, the slope of the deflection curve approaches zero. Figure5showsthemaximumdeflectionat0 ratio 200and0.1 β 0.5.It can be observed here that the maximum influence on deflections occurs at low shunt capacitance. For higher shunt capacitance, an enormous increase in the capacitive shunt results in a minute change in deflection. Further studies need to be conducted in order to find the optimum capacitive shunt range. According to these results, the most effective passive control of the capacitive shunt occurs at low shunt capacitance relative to the piezoelectric capacitance. As the shunt capacitance is increased to higher values relative to the piezo-capacitance, the effect of passive control becomes relatively weaker. It can also be noticed that the span of the piezoelectric elements across the host beam has a pronounced effect on controlling beam s configuration. 5. Conclusion In this study we have investigated the control of a beam using collocated piezoelectric elements mounted on both sides of the beam. A capacitive shunt was introduced into the circuitry using additive decomposition. The energy method was used to develop the governing equations of the structure. The free charge rearrangement time was used to determine the charge boundary conditions. The effects of the shunt capacitor were introduced into the electrostatic relations using additive decomposition of capacitance. As an application of the model, a piezo-elastic beam restrictor was investigated. The results have shown that the free charge rearrangement time is relatively high,sothatnochargecanbedepositedinorremovedfromthevolumeofthepzt material in the current context. This leads to a homogeneous charge relation for the electrostatic equation. It is apparent from the numerics that the capacitive shunt does affect the configuration of the beam. At low shunt capacitance the controlling effect is pronounced, whereas at high shunt capacitance the effect of control decreases. tq308s-e/382 4 XII 2004 BOP s.c.,
