Locally resonant metamaterials have attracted lots of research interests for the application of vibration suppression which is a fundamental problem but remains a big challenge in the engineering field. The transverse wave propagation in a beam is through the transmission of the shear force and bending moment. Most designs of metamaterials in the existing literature exploit translational local resonators to induce reaction force to prevent the transmission of the shear force, hence the wave propagation. This paper studies a metamaterial beam attached with torsional local resonators. The reaction moments generated by the torsional resonators are expected to neutralize the bending moment in the beam, thus preventing the wave propagation. The existence of torsional resonators leads to the moment discontinuity conditions which cannot be directly taken into account using the Euler beam theory. Based on the Timoshenko beam theory, the band structure analysis is developed through a modal analysis based on the infinite periodic local resonator structure. The numerical results reveal that the locally resonant frequency corresponds to the upper bound of the band gap. Both infinitely long and finitely long beams are also modeled using finite element method. The transmittance is calculated to verify the band structure analysis.

Motivated by its success as a structural health monitoring solution, electromechanical impedance measurements have been utilized as a means for non-destructive evaluation of conventionally and additively manufactured parts. In this process, piezoelectric transducers are either directly embedded in the part under test or bonded to its surface. While this approach has proven to be capable of detecting manufacturing anomalies, instrumentation requirements of the parts under test have hindered its wide adoption. To address this limitation, indirect electromechanical impedance measurement, through instrumented fixtures or testbeds, has recently been investigated for part authentication and non-destructive evaluation applications. In this work, electromechanical impedance signatures obtained with piezoelectric transducers indirectly attached to the part under test, via an instrumented fixture, are numerically investigated. This aims to better understand the coupling between the instrumented fixture and the part under test and its effects ON sensitivity to manufacturing defects. For this purpose, numerical models are developed for the instrumented fixture, the part under test, and the fixture/part assembly. The frequency-domain spectral element method is used to obtain numerical solutions and simulate the electromechanical impedance signatures over the frequency range of 10–50 kHz. Criteria for selecting the frequency range that is most sensitive to defects in the part under test are proposed and evaluated using standard damage metric definitions. It was found that optimal frequency ranges can be preselected based on the fixture design and its dynamic response.

Design optimization of adaptive systems requires a robust analysis method that can accommodate various changes in design and boundary conditions. In this work, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are used to approximate solutions to differential equations across a range of problem parameter values. This mesh-free method simply requires residual evaluation at sampling points within the analysis domain and along boundaries, and the training process does not require any reference problem to be solved through conventional solution methods. The trained model can be used to predict the solution field, conduct parameter space analysis and design optimization. Using automatic differentiation, the design objective and their derivatives can be computed as a post process for a gradient-based design optimization. The method is demonstrated in a 1D heat transfer problem governed by the steady-state heat equation. Use of the PINN model for design optimization is illustrated in a problem of finding a material transition location to minimize temperature at a specified location. The PINN model that does not include problem parameters as input can be trained to within 0.05% error. PINN models that involve problem parameters as inputs are more difficult to train, especially when the input-to-output relationship is complex.

Multifunctional Structures for Attitude Control (MSAC) is a new spacecraft attitude control system that utilizes deployable panels as multifunctional intelligent structures to provide both fine pointing and large slew attitude control. Previous studies introduced MSAC design and operation concepts, simulation-based design studies, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation of a simplified prototype. In this article, we expand the scope of design studies to include individual compliant piezo-electric actuators and associated power electronics. This advance is a step toward high-fidelity MSAC system operation, and reveals new design insights for further performance enhancement. Actuators are designed using pseudo rigid body dynamic models (PRBDMs), and are validated for steady-state and step responses against Finite Element Analysis. The drive electronics model consists of a few distinct topologies that will be used to evaluate system performance for given mechanical and control system designs. Subsequently, a high-fidelity multiphysics multibody MSAC system model, based on the validated compliant actuators and drive electronics, is developed to support implementation of MSAC Control Co-design optimization studies. This model will be used to demonstrate the impact of including the power electronics design in the Optimal Control Co-Design domain. The different control trajectories are compared for slew rates and the vibrational jitter introduced to the satellite. The results from this work will be used to realize closed-loop control trajectories that have minimal jitter introduction while providing high slew rates.

Composite laminates constructed in an asymmetric layup orientation of [0i, 90i], i > 0, exhibit two stable equilibrium positions and may be actuated to snap from a primary cure shape to an inversely related secondary stable shape. This study aims to aid in developing a comprehensive description of thick bistable laminates, whose increased thickness risks the loss of bistability, through previously established analytical approaches and verification via experimentation. The principle of minimum potential energy is applied to two materials and analyzed using the Rayleigh-Ritz minimization technique to determine the cure shapes of carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates composed of AS4/8552 and TR50S-12k carbon fibers. These materials were modeled to act as square thick bistable laminated composites with sidelengths up to 0.914m. Visualizations of the out-of-plane displacements are shown with a description of the Rayleigh-Ritz analysis. Additionally, a finite element model (FEM) created in Abaqus CAE 6.14 and experiments using DA409/G35 and TR50S-12K/NP301 prepreg were used to further describe and develop the fundamental description for thick bistable laminates in terms of loss of bistability, actuation load, and principle shape. The analytical model is an extension of Hyer’s (2002) and Mattioni’s (2009) work applied to thick bistable laminates where the primary assumption was the x-axis curvature equaled the negative y-axis curvature for the primary and secondary stable positions, respectively. This assumption leads to the already cemented conclusion that bistable laminates, once cured, take on one of two inversely related paraboloid shapes. FEA simulations contradicted this by showing an average 11% difference in curvature magnitude for the aforementioned shapes. Furthermore, fourth order polynomials were used to describe the curvature along the axes, differing from the previously used Menger curvatures, (three-point approximation). Bifurcation plots using peak deflections and average curvature generated from FEA simulations clearly showed bistability existed to approximately 50 plies; however, the energy landscape plots indicated a significant degradation of bistability starting at 36 plies. Experimentation was performed on a test stand mimicking the same boundary conditions used in FEA while applying a central out-of-plane load. Experimental observations showed decreased peak displacements of stable cure shapes. Observations also indicated that the x-axis curvature had a significant difference in magnitude compared to the negative y-axis curvature. However, the existence of bistability agreed with FEA energy landscape plots, with clear “snaps” ending at thicknesses of 28–36 plies. Moreover, actuation force was found to correlate well with FEA simulations. Differences in the critical point can be attributed to the combination of material property differences for DA409 and TR50S-12K, failure to capture polymer relaxation, limitations of the ex
以[0i, 90i], i > 0的不对称铺层方向构建的复合材料层压板具有两个稳定的平衡位置,并且可以被驱动从初级固化形状转变为反向相关的次级稳定形状。本研究旨在通过先前建立的分析方法和实验验证,帮助开发厚双稳层压板的全面描述,其增加的厚度有失去双稳性的风险。将最小势能原理应用于两种材料,采用瑞利-里兹最小化技术对AS4/8552和TR50S-12k碳纤维复合材料层合板的固化形状进行了分析。这些材料被建模为边长可达0.914m的方形厚双稳态层合复合材料。面外位移的可视化显示与瑞利-里兹分析的描述。此外,利用Abaqus CAE 6.14软件建立有限元模型,并利用DA409/G35和TR50S-12K/NP301预浸料进行实验,进一步从双稳损失、驱动载荷和原理形状等方面对厚双稳层压板进行了基本描述和发展。该解析模型是Hyer(2002)和Mattioni(2009)对厚双稳态层压板的扩展,其中主要假设分别是主稳定位置和次稳定位置的x轴曲率等于负y轴曲率。这一假设导致了已经得到证实的结论,即双稳态层叠板一旦固化,就会呈现出两种相反的抛物面形状之一。有限元模拟与此相矛盾,显示了上述形状的平均11%的曲率大小差异。此外,四阶多项式被用来描述沿轴的曲率,不同于以前使用的门格尔曲率(三点近似)。利用峰值挠度和平均曲率绘制的分岔图清楚地表明,双稳性存在于约50层;然而,能量景观样地表明,从36层开始,双稳定性显著下降。实验在一个试验台上进行,在施加中心面外载荷的情况下,模拟了有限元分析中使用的相同边界条件。实验观察表明,稳定固化形状的峰值位移减小。观察还表明,与负y轴曲率相比,x轴曲率的幅度有显著差异。然而,双稳性的存在与FEA能量景观图一致,在28-36层的厚度处有明显的“断裂”。此外,驱动力与有限元模拟结果有很好的相关性。临界点的差异可归因于DA409和TR50S-12K的材料性能差异,未能捕获聚合物弛豫,实验设置的局限性以及手工铺层制造错误。最后,本文增加了在宏观尺度应用中使用较厚层压板的可行性,在这些应用中,形状变形或形状保持属性是必要的约束,尽管只有在预期低载荷的情况下。

Real-time model updating of active structures subject to unmodeled high-rate dynamic events require structural model updates on the timescale of 2 ms or less. Examples of active structures subjected to unmodeled high-rate dynamic events include hypersonic vehicles, active blast mitigation, and orbital infrastructure. Due to the unmodeled nature of the events of interest, the real-time model updating algorithm should circumvent any model pre-calculations. In this work, we present a methodology that updates the finite element analysis (FEA) model of a structure experiencing varying dynamics through online measurements. The algorithm is demonstrated for a testbed, comprised of a cantilever beam and a roller that serves as movable support. The structure’s state is updated (i.e. the position of the moving roller) by continuously updating the associated FEA model through an online adaptive meshing and search algorithm. The structure’s state is continuously estimated by comparing the measured signals with FEA models. New FEA models are built based on the enhanced estimate of the structure’s state through adaptive meshing for modal analysis and adaptive search space for the FEA model selection. The proposed methodology is verified experimentally in real-time using the testbed. It is demonstrated that the adaptive features can achieve accurate state estimations within the required 2 ms timescale.

In this study, the design and development of an autonomous morphing wing concept were investigated. This morphing wing was developed in the scope of, the Smart-X project, aiming to demonstrate in-flight performance optimisation. This study proposed a novel distributed morphing concept, with six Translation Induced Camber (TRIC) morphing trailing edge modules, inter-connected triangular skin segments joined by an elastomer material to allow seamless variation of local lift distribution along the wingspan. An FSI structural optimisation tool was developed, to achieve this optimised design, and to produce an optimal laminate design of fibre Glass weave material, capable of reaching target shapes and minimise actuation loads. Analysis of the kinematic model of the embedded actuator was performed, and a conventional actuator design was selected to continuously operate at the required load and fulfil both static and dynamic requirements in terms of bandwidth, actuation force and stroke. Preparations were made in this study for the next stage of the Smart-X design, to refine the morphing mechanism design and build a functional demonstrator for wind tunnel testing.

This paper reports on the design and optimization of different types of piezoelectric actuators for aeroacoustic control applications. This study was carried out within the context of the European project CleanSky 2/InnoSTAT. The aim of our work is to reduce the aeroacoustic noises that appear in an airplane turbofan by adding an area of piezoelectric actuators on the Outlet Guide Vanes (OGV). These piezoelectric structures will subsequently be controlled with an active approach and tested in the open-jet anechoic wind tunnel at LMFE. The noise source which has to be reduce/control comes from vortices located in the turbulent flow (which can for example be created by the fan module) interacting with the stator blades. The predominant frequencies and the pressure fluctuations levels related to these vortices rely on the airflow speed and are fixed between 1000Hz and 2000Hz in our case. To reach the target, we plan to manufacture an area of piezoelectric actuators on the intrados and the extrados of the stator blades in order to control the response of the blade to the turbulence of the airflow responsible for the aeroacoustic noise. Several adjacent blades will be equipped with this type of transducers. This study outline the design and the optimization of each piezoelectric cell in order to achieve good results in the frequency range previously defined as well as an acceptable mechanical strength of the blade. A most detailed study on the active shunt will be investigate later on.
