Stabilization of plate parametric vibration via distributed control

A theoretical investigation of vibration control for linear laminated plate due to uniform,
harmonically or arbitrarily varying in-plane forces is presented. A distributed controller in an active system consisting of electroded piezoelectric sensors/actuators with suitable polarization profiles is considered. To satisfy the Maxwell electrostatics equation in the actuator, a constant electrical potential distribution in the in-plane directions and linear distribution in transverse direction cannot be assumed but is rather obtained by solving the coupled governing equations by assuming a certain theoretically advisable distribution in the thickness direction. Coupled dynamics equations with respect to a plate displacement and an electric field are derived using the Hamilton principle. The rate velocity feedback is applied to stabilize the plate parametric vibration. The almost sure stability of the trivial solution is analysed using the appropriate Liapunov functional.
