Abstract

The feasibility of employing a passive control methodology using piezoelectric actuators to control panel flutter is investigated. An electromechanical panel model containing distributed piezoelectric layers either bonded to the surface or embedded within the structure is used to control flutter. The performance of piezoelectric actuators is dependent on the mass to stiffness ratio, the configuration and placement of the actuators. The physical programming design optimization methodology to calculate the optimal actuator configuration is used. This approach reduces the computational intensity in large design optimization problems and completely eliminates the need for iterative weight setting.
