Description of the Test Articles

The neural network-based control algorithm described in Sect. 4.4 is tested using simulation studies on a cantilever plate system with PZT actuators and PVDF film sensors. A top-view line diagram of the plate structure is shown in Fig. 4.2. [Pg.57]

The PVDF film sensors are shaped to measure the displacement and velocity at the free end of the plate [15]. The output of the PVDF film sensor is buffered through a high-pass filter for an output in the range of 1V for [Pg.57]
