Abstract
The sensitivity of physical parameter motion and amplitude control by viscoelastic piezoelectric and material damping of viscoelastic plates is studied. A flexible viscoelastic plate is exposed to bending loads normal to the plate and structural control is provided through viscoelastic plate damping augmented by piezo-viscoelastic energy dissipations or through appropriate emf application. Numerical simulations in terms of critical parameters, such as relaxation functions of the structure and piezoelectric devices, are carried out to evaluate system responses, sensing and structural control.
