Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a technology in the field of vibration control, specifically a unidirectional piezoelectric beam with broadband vibration attenuation. Background Technology
[0002] Beam structures are among the most common load-bearing foundation components in engineering, widely used in aerospace, civil engineering, shipbuilding, and precision equipment. Under complex excitation conditions, beam structures are prone to low-frequency broadband vibrations, which can affect structural stability, service accuracy, and operational reliability. Existing piezoelectric control methods mostly rely on local resonance or narrowband feedback, resulting in limited control bandwidth. Existing structural control methods also depend on specific geometric forms, leading to insufficient adjustment flexibility. For beam structures that require simultaneous consideration of broadband attenuation, propagation direction control, and structural compactness, existing technologies still suffer from limited control range, insufficient adaptability, and complex implementation.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment illustrates a unidirectional piezoelectric beam unit, comprising: a beam substrate 1, piezoelectric sensing units 2 disposed on the upper / lower surfaces of one side of the beam substrate 1, piezoelectric actuation units 3 disposed on the upper / lower surfaces of the other side of the beam substrate 1, and a unidirectional amplifier circuit 4 connecting the piezoelectric sensing units 2 and the piezoelectric actuation units 3 on the upper / lower surfaces respectively. The piezoelectric sensing units 2 on the upper / lower surfaces are respectively connected to the input terminals of the unidirectional amplifier circuit 4, and the output terminals of the unidirectional amplifier circuit 4 are connected to the piezoelectric actuation units 3 on the upper / lower surfaces. The piezoelectric sensing units 2 are used to sense the vibration state of the beam substrate 1 and output an induced voltage signal, while the piezoelectric actuation units 3 are used to receive the amplified voltage signal and drive the beam substrate 1 to generate a vibration response.
[0021] Both the piezoelectric sensing unit 2 and the piezoelectric actuation unit 3 are attached to the surface of the beam substrate 1 and form an electromechanical coupling structure with the beam substrate 1.
[0022] In this embodiment, the beam base 1 is preferably a metal aluminum alloy beam.
[0023] The piezoelectric sensing unit 2 and piezoelectric actuation unit 3 use piezoelectric sheets that are 100 mm long, 15 mm wide, and 1 mm thick; the beam substrate 1 corresponding to the piezoelectric sheet is 2 mm thick. Multiple piezoelectric sensing units 2 and piezoelectric actuation units 3 can be periodically arranged along the beam length direction, with a 10 mm interval between two units, forming the control area of the piezoelectric beam.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the unidirectional amplifier circuit 4 includes an operational amplifier, an input resistor, a feedback resistor, and a grounding resistor. The induced voltage signal output by the piezoelectric sensing unit 2 is amplified by the unidirectional amplifier circuit 4 and then input to the piezoelectric actuation unit 3. The amplification factor is determined by adjusting the ratio of the feedback resistor to the input resistor.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment relates to a unidirectional piezoelectric beam with broadband vibration attenuation, comprising: a beam base 1 and a plurality of unidirectional piezoelectric beam units disposed thereon, wherein: piezoelectric sensing units 2 and piezoelectric actuation units 3 are arranged alternately on the beam base 1, and the bandwidth and attenuation intensity can be effectively adjusted by changing the number of units, the spacing distance and the gain parameters of the unidirectional amplifier circuit 4.
[0026] The control frequency range of the unidirectional piezoelectric beam is 10 Hz to 2500 Hz. By adjusting the gain and polarity of the unidirectional amplifier circuit 4, the asymmetric coupling strength and vibration propagation direction of the piezoelectric beam can be changed.
[0027] Through specific experiments, a corresponding piezoelectric beam model was established in numerical simulation software, and its frequency response and spatial vibration distribution were calculated under different excitation directions. Figure 4 As shown, compared with the uncontrolled short-circuit state, the vibration response of the piezoelectric beam is significantly reduced over a wide frequency range after applying unidirectional circuit control; when the control coefficient G increases, a wider effective control bandwidth and a higher vibration attenuation level can be obtained.
[0028] Furthermore, within a wide frequency band, the vibration amplitude suppression rate is as low as one-thousandth of the uncontrolled amplitude, indicating that the piezoelectric beam has good broadband vibration attenuation capability.
[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, using When the control strategy is applied, the vibration energy in the beam is mainly localized to the left boundary, forming a significant energy accumulation zone near the left side. The vibration amplitude in the target area on the right boundary decreases significantly, indicating that the structure can achieve left-side local vibration energy control.
[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, using When the control strategy is applied, the vibration energy in the beam is mainly localized to the right boundary, forming a significant energy accumulation zone near the right side. The vibration amplitude in the target area on the left boundary decreases significantly, indicating that the structure can achieve right-side local vibration energy control.
[0031] By changing the gain polarity or control parameters of the unidirectional amplifier circuit 4, the left local vibration energy distribution and the right local vibration energy distribution can be switched, indicating that the present invention can not only achieve broadband vibration attenuation, but also achieve adjustable control of the local direction of vibration energy.
[0032] Compared with existing technologies, this invention achieves coordinated control of vibration propagation direction and attenuation intensity in beam structures by constructing a unidirectional amplification coupling relationship between the piezoelectric sensing unit 2 and the piezoelectric actuating unit 3. By employing different control strategies, left-region and right-region vibration energy distributions can be achieved separately. Without significantly increasing structural complexity, this invention can obtain a wider effective control bandwidth, making it suitable for vibration suppression and fluctuation control in engineering beam structures.
[0033] The above-described specific implementations can be partially adjusted by those skilled in the art in different ways without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims and is not limited to the above-described specific implementations. All implementation schemes within the scope of the claims are bound by the present invention.
