Fuzzy vibration control of a smart plateFuzzy vibration control of a smart plate Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-10-122013enVibration suppression of a smart thin elastic rectangular plate is considered. The plate is subjected to external disturbances and generalized control forces, produced, for instance, by electromechanical feedback. A nonlinear controller is designed, based on fuzzy inference. The initial-boundary value problem is spatially discretized by means of the time spectral method. The implicit Newmark-beta method is employed for time integration. Two numerical algorithms are proposed. The techniques have been implemented within MATLAB with the use of the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox. Representative numerical results are given.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/International Journal for Computational Methods in Engineering Science and Mechanics314212-220 Stavroulakis Georgios Σταυρουλακης Γεωργιος Aliki D.
