In real time situation machine members are subjected to variable and impact loading experience displacement patterns that may through loading of beam members beyond the yield stress. This causes permanent deformations and excessive fatigue making the beam weak and unserviceable
A SIMPLE METHOD TO AMPLIFY MICRO DISPLACEMENTijics
A simple method to amplify the micro displacements produced by magnetostrictive effect, giant
magnetostrictive, converse piezoelectric and photo strictive effect, respectively, is reported. The device
consists mainly of two material rods with different coefficients of strains vs intensity of external fields,
which are rigidly jointed, so that the displacements created by different rods can be added directly. In
contrast with all other methods reported so far, which are all based on the principle of lever, this approach
holds some unique advantages that can be applied to respond to the electromagnetic fields with high
frequency because there is no friction caused by the relative motion between levers and furthermore, an
ideal and smooth amplification of micro displacement can be obtained with ease in principle.

Reconstruction of electrical impedance tomography images based on the expecta...ISA Interchange
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) calculates the internal conductivity distribution within a body using electrical contact measurements. The image reconstruction for EIT is an inverse problem, which is both non-linear and ill-posed. The traditional regularization method cannot avoid introducing negative values in the solution. The negativity of the solution produces artifacts in reconstructed images in presence of noise. A statistical method, namely, the expectation maximization (EM) method, is used to solve the inverse problem for EIT in this paper. The mathematical model of EIT is transformed to the non-negatively constrained likelihood minimization problem. The solution is obtained by the gradient projection-reduced Newton (GPRN) iteration method. This paper also discusses the strategies of choosing parameters. Simulation and experimental results indicate that the reconstructed images with higher quality can be obtained by the EM method, compared with the traditional Tikhonov and conjugate gradient (CG) methods, even with non-negative processing.

This paper presented the study, development and implementation of the maximum power point of a photovoltaic energy generator adapted by elevator converter and controlled by a maximum power point command. In order to improve photovoltaic system performance and to force the photovoltaic generator to operate at its maximum power point, the idea of the context of this paper deals with the exploitation of the technique of the artificial intelligence mechanism (neural network) certainly based on the three parts of the photovoltaic system (photovoltaic module inputs (temperature and solar radiation), photovoltaic module and control (MPPT)) that have been adopted within a simulation time of 24 hours. In addition, to reach the optimal operating point regardless of variations in climatic conditions, the use of a neuron network based disturbance and observation algorithm (P&O) is put into service of the system given its reliability, its simplicity and view that at any time it can follow the desired maximum power. The entire system is implemented in the Matlab / Simulink environment where simulation results obtained are very promising and have shown the effectiveness and speed of neural technology that still require a learning base so to improve the performance of photovoltaic systems and exploit them in energy production, as well as this technique has proved that these results are much better in terms (of its very great precision and speed of computation) than those of the controller based on the conventional MPPT method P&O.

Study of surface roughness for discontinuous ultrasonic vibration assisted el...eSAT Journals
Abstract The objective of this paper is to study the effects of response parameters on the performance characteristics in the Ultrasonic vibration Assisted Electric Discharge Machining (UEDM) Process. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used to investigate the effect of amplitude of vibration, peak current, pulse on-time, machining time and flushing pressure. To study the proposed second order polynomial model for surface roughness (SR), a Central Composite Design (CCD) is used for the estimation of the model coefficients of five factors, which are believed to influence the SR in UEDM process. Experiments are conducted on Aluminum alloy 6063 with copper electrode. The response is modeled on experimental data by using RSM. The separable influence of individual machining parameters and the interaction between these parameters are also investigated by using analysis of variance (ANOVA). It is found that amplitude of vibration, peak current; pulse-on time, flushing pressure and most of their interactions have significant affect on SR. Keywords: Central Composite Design, SR, UEDM, RSM, Aluminum alloy (Al6063)
Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Control Approach for a Single Inverted Pendulum System IJECEIAES
The inverted pendulum is an under-actuated and nonlinear system, which is also unstable. It is a single-input double-output system, where only one output is directly actuated. This paper investigates a single intelligent control system using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to stabilize the inverted pendulum system while tracking the desired position. The nonlinear inverted pendulum system was modelled and built using MATLAB Simulink. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy logic controller was implemented and its performance was compared with a Sugeno-fuzzy inference system in both simulation and real experiment. The ANFIS controller could reach its desired new destination in 1.5 s and could stabilize the entire system in 2.2 s in the simulation, while in the experiment it took 1.7 s to reach stability. Results from the simulation and experiment showed that ANFIS had better performance compared to the Sugeno-fuzzy controller as it provided faster and smoother response and much less steady-state error.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out with a three-body Tersoff potential force field to predict the transversely isotropic elastic properties of pristine and defected BNNTs. This is accomplished by imposing uniaxial tension, twisting moment, in-aplane shear and in-plane biaxial tension to the BNNTs. Effects of various factors such as chirality and diameter of BNNTs, vacancy concentration, and distribution of vacancy pores along the length and circumference of BNNTs were critically examined. Our study reveals that the elastic coefficients of BNNTs decrease as their diameter increase, except axial Young’s modulus. Young’s modulus of BNNT increases with the diameter and reaches its maximum value when the tube diameter is ∼14 Å and then it starts decreasing. We also found that the axial Young’s modulus of a BNNT increases as its aspect ratio increases and stabilizes at a particular value of aspect ratio (L/D ∼ 15). The vacancies greatly affect the elastic properties of BNNTs; for instance, the vacancy concentration of 2% in (10, 10) BNNT reduce its axial Young’s, shear, plane strain bulk and in-plane shear moduli by 14%, 25%, 14% and 18%, respectively. Furthermore, we studied the electronic properties of pristine and defective BNNTs under four transversely isotropic loading conditions using the strain effective method. The results reveal that the electronic properties of BNNTs can be altered via different routes: loadings conditions, diameter and vacancy concentration. Our fundamental study highlights the critical role played by vacancy defected BNNTs in determining their elastic and electronic properties as they are vastly being used in multifarious applications such as nano-electronic devices and reinforcements in multifunctional nanocomposites
Mems Based Motor Fault Detection in Windmill Using Neural NetworksIJRES Journal
Today wind turbine technology is one of the fastest growing power generation technologies operating in large numbers at harsh and difficult environment sites and it is difficult to monitor each and every windmill separately. There are times when faults occur in motors of windmills are not detected in earlier stage and we come to know about damage when motor gets fully damaged. Here we using wireless monitoring based on MEMS accelerometer sensor which senses the vibrations occurring in the motor and based on the severity of vibrations, sensor sends the data to the controlling unit to take further action. Neural network based work is included to get the accurate and precise vibratory signals to detect fault at a very early stage to avoid full damage to the motor.

Vibrational Behaviour of Composite Beams Based on Fiber Orientation with Piez...IJMERJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: A smart structure can sense the vibration and generate a controlled actuation, so that the vibration can be minimized. For this purpose, smart materials are used as actuators and sensors. Among all the smart materials Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) is used as smart material and the smart structures are taken as carbon-epoxy cantilever beams. In the present work an attempt has been made to study the effect of dimensions of PZT and position of PZT on the natural frequency of smart structure. In this work the simulation analysis and experimental analysis were carried out on the carbon epoxy cantilever beams for different fibre orientations like 00 ,300 and 600 with and without PZT patch at different positions. The simulation is carried out by using ANSYS and experimentation is carried out by using FFT analyser, accelerometer and impact hammer. Both the experimentation and simulation results show the effective control in the vibration of the structure, the required decrease in the natural frequency is observed with reference to the both patch dimension and position. Thus the results of this work conclude that the dimensions of the PZTand positioning of the PZT influences the natural frequency of the smart structure.
Active vibration control of flexible beam system based on cuckoo search algor...IJECEIAES
A flexible beam is recognized as a lightweight structure that is prone to excessive vibration, resulting in poor performance. Thus, controlling unwanted vibration is necessary to maintain the system’s performance. Therefore, this study presents a technique to suppress undesired vibration in a flexible beam structure by introducing active vibration control (AVC). However, to develop an effective controller, an appropriate flexible beam model must first be obtained. In recent times, one of the best methods employed to model a flexible beam structure is system identification via a swarm intelligence algorithm. In this study, an intelligent algorithm acknowledged as cuckoo search (CS) was acquainted. The capability of the proposed algorithm was verified using three robustness techniques which were correlation test, pole-zero diagrams and mean square error (MSE). The simulation result showed that the CS algorithm achieved superior performance by achieving the lowest MSE of 6.1547x10 -9 , a correlation test between a 95% confidence level and high stability. Next, a proportionalintegral-derivative (PID) controller tuned by the Ziegler-Nichols method was developed using the transfer function accomplished from the CS model. Two types of interference, namely single and multiple sine waves were introduced to validate the effectiveness of the controller.

COUPLED FIELD ANALYSIS OF PIEZOELECTRIC CANTILEVER BEAMijiert bestjournal
Electromechanical modelling efforts in the research field of vibration-based energy harvesting have been mostly focused on forms of vibrational in put as in the typical case of harmonic excitation at resonance. However,ambient vibration al energy often has broader frequency content than a single harmonic. Piezoelectric energ y harvesting is a promising technology for extracting the power from environmental vibrations. It generates the electrical power of few orders of amplitudes which is sufficient to drive s everal autonomous electrical devices. Such vibration-based energy harvester generates the most energy when the generator is excited at its resonance frequency. Simplest model to be start ed is of rectangular Aluminium cantilever beam with unimorph piezoelectric patch which is per fectly bonded to the substrate plate at the end. The resulting relative motion between the piez oelectric patch and the base produces stress on piezoelectric material,which is converte d into electrical power by virtue of direct piezoelectric effect. The ability of piezoelectric material of different thickness to generate voltage at different frequency is explained in this paper. Its capability to work over a range of frequency is predicted by use of ANSYS software. Th e solid model is design and analyzed using finite element software.
In the present paper the experimental study of
Nanotechnology involves high cost for Lab set-up and the
experimentation processes were also slow. Attempt has also
been made to discuss the contributions towards the societal
change in the present convergence of Nano-systems and
information technologies. one cannot rely on experimental
nanotechnology alone. As such, the Computer- simulations and
modeling are one of the foundations of computational
nanotechnology. The computer modeling and simulations
were also referred as computational experimentations. The
accuracy of such Computational nano-technology based
experiment generally depends on the accuracy of the following
things: Intermolecular interaction, Numerical models and
Simulation schemes used. The essence of nanotechnology is
therefore size and control because of the diversity of
applications the plural term nanotechnology is preferred by
some nevertheless they all share the common feature of control

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Abstract
In this paper the modelling and Design of a Beam on which two Piezoelectric Ceramic Lead Zirconate Titanate ( PZT) patches
are bonded on the top and bottom surface as Sensor/Actuator collocated pair is presented. The work considers the Active
Vibration Control (AVC) using Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) Controller. The beam is assumed as Euler-Bernoulli beam.
The two PZT patches are also treated as Euler-Bernoulli beam elements. The contribution of mass and stiffness of two PZT
patches in the design of entire structure are also considered. The beam is modelled using three Finite Elements. The patches can
be bonded near the fixed end, at middle or near the free end of the beam as collocated pair. The design uses first two dominant
vibratory modes. The effect of PZT sensor/actuator pair is investigated at different locations of beam in vibration control. It can
be concluded from the work that best result is obtained when the PZT patches are bonded near the fixed end.

1. INTRODUCTION
Active vibration control is a technique in which the
vibration of a structure is controlled by applying counter
force to the structure that is appropriately out of phase but
equal in amplitude to the original force. As a result two
opposite forces cancel each other and structure stops
vibrating. Piezoelectric and Piezoelectric Ceramic materials
can be used as sensors and actuators. These materials have
ability to transform mechanical energy to electrical energy
and vice-versa. A piezoelectric material is a crystal in which
electricity is produced by pressure (Direct Effect).
Conversely, a piezoelectric material deforms when it is
subjected to an electric field (Converse Effect). The
piezoelectric sensor senses the external disturbances and
generates voltage due to direct piezoelectric effect while
piezoelectric actuator produces force due to converse
piezoelectric effect which can be used as controlling force.
For generating the appropriate controlling force according to
the sensed signal controller is needed. Tran Ich Thinh , Le
Kim Ngoc [1] has developed a Finite Element (FE) model
based on the First-Order Shear Deformation Theory for the
static flexural shape and vibration control of a glass
fiber/polyester composite plate bonded with piezoelectric
actuator and sensor patches. The piezoelectric mass and
stiffness are taken into account in the model. The results
obtained were in good agreement with actual experimental
result. Aydin Azizi, Laaleh Durali, Farid Parvari Rad,
Shahin Zareie [2] used PZT elements as sensors and actuator
to control the vibration of a cantilever beam. They studied
the effect of different types of controller on vibration
control. Finite Element Analysis and generalized equation of
motion has been used in this paper. Premjyoti G.Patil [3]
provides a mathematical model for the deformation of
cantilever beam using Finite Element Method. Using the
mathematical model, the beam deformation is plotted using
MATLAB. Lucy Edery-Azulay, Haim Abramovich [4]
described that the active damping is obtained by using an
actuator and a sensor piezoceramic layer acting in closed-
loop. By transferring the accumulated voltage on the sensor
layer to the piezoelectric actuator layer, the beam can
actively damp-out its vibrations. An exact mathematical
model, based on a first order shear deformation theory
(FSDT) is developed and described. This model allows the
investigation of piezo-composite beams with two
actuation/sensing type mechanisms, extension and shear.
For obtaining the natural frequency and mode shapes
expressions were programmed in Maple 9. Effect of
different piezoelectric materials on damping was also
studied in this paper. Using the Euler–Bernoulli Beam
Theory R. Ly, M. Rguiti, S. D‟Astorg, A. Hajjaji, C.
Courtois, and A. Leriche [5] developed a model of
piezoelectric cantilever beam. The equations of motion for
the global system were established using Hamilton‟s
principle and solved using the modal decomposition method
which described dynamic behaviour of the beam for energy
harvesting. Then the model was implemented using
MATLAB software and will be able to integrate with the
circuit model for energy storage. The results obtained show
a good agreement with the experiments and other previous
works. Magdalene Marinaki, Yannis Marinakis, Georgios E.
Stavroulakis [6] focused on the design of a vibration control
mechanism for a beam embedded with piezoelectric sensors

and actuators. The modelling of the piezoelectric sensors
and actuators are based on the piezoelectric constitutive
equations and classical equations of motion using finite
element analysis. One nature- inspired intelligence method,
the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) which is a
population based swarm intelligence algorithm is used for
the vibration control of the beam. Three different variants of
the Particle Swarm Optimization were tested, namely, the
simple Particle Swarm Optimization, the inertia Particle
Swarm Optimization and the Constriction Particle Swarm
Optimization. The same problem has been solved with two
other optimization algorithms, namely a Genetic Algorithm
and a Differential Evolution and the results are compared.
Result shows that sufficient vibration suppression can be
achieved by means of PSO method. K Ramesh Kumar and S
Narayanan [7] used a finite element method based on Euler–
Bernoulli beam theory. Linear quadratic regulator (LQR)
controller is used for controlling. The LQR performance is
taken as the objective for finding the optimal location of
sensor–actuator pairs. The problem is formulated as a multi-
input multi-output (MIMO) model control problem. The
discrete optimal sensor and actuator location problem is
formulated in the framework of an optimization problem
which is solved using genetic algorithms (GAs). The study
of the optimal location of actuators and sensors is carried
out for different boundary conditions of beams like
cantilever, simply supported and clamped boundary
conditions. Jingjun Zhang, Lili He, Ercheng Wang, Ruizhen
Gao [8] takes a cantilever beam bonded with rectangular
shaped piezoelectric sensors and actuators. Two active
vibration control methods such as Linear Quadratic Gauss
(LQG) optimal control and robust H control are
investigated. The paper demonstrates that compared with the
LQG control method, H control has strong robustness to
modal parameters variation and has a good closed-loop
dynamic performance. C.M.A. Vasques, J. Dias Rodrigues
[9] used an analysis and comparison of the classical control
strategies, constant amplitude and constant gain velocity
feedback (CAVF and CGVF), and optimal control
strategies, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and linear
quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller in order to investigate
their effectiveness to suppress vibrations in beams with
piezoelectric patches acting as sensors or actuators. In the
paper a three-layered smart beam with two piezoelectric
surface layers were modelled. The transverse displacement
time history, at the free end is evaluated with the open- and
closed-loop classical and optimal control systems. The case
studies allow the comparison of their performances
demonstrating their advantages and disadvantages. T.C
Manjunath and B Bandyopadhyay. [10] used multirate
output feedback based discrete sliding mode control for
SISO systems in vibration control of Timoshenko smart
structure. The beam structure is divided in four Finite
Elements. The beam structure is modelled in the State Space
form using the concept of piezoelectric theory. The
performance of structure is investigated for first two
dominant vibratory modes as well as higher modes. The
effect of placing the piezoelectric collocated pair is
investigated at various locations on the beam. Michele Betti,
Georgios E. Stavroulakis and Charalambos C.
Baniotopoulos [11] used an active vibration control
technique for a smart beam. The structure is made of two
layers of piezoelectric material (PZT8) embedded on the
surface of an aluminium beam. Piezoelectric sensors and
actuators are perfectly bonded on the host elastic structure.
A Finite Element model for a composite smart beam was
developed. The integration of control actions is done within
the ANSYS. The ANSYS Parametric Design Language
(APDL) is used in order to develop a closed loop feedback
control law. The control law can be calculated from a
classical control theory, e.g. a linear feedback and LQR,
which is used in this paper. By taking into account the
modal shape of the beam, it is possible to suggest the
optimal position for piezoelectric patches.
Most of the present researchers have used
Finite element Analysis with different control laws to
suppress the vibration of a Piezoelectric Smart Structure.
The objective of this work is to design and analyse
Piezoelectric Smart Beam with commonly used control
method, The Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) when
Piezoelectric Sensor/Actuator pair is placed at different
locations on the beam. The paper is organized in three parts
i.e. FE formulation of Smart beam, Controller Design, and
Results.
2. MODELLING OF THE SMART CANTILEVER
BEAM
Consider an Aluminium Cantilever beam bonded with
collocated Piezoelectric Sensor/Actuator pair. Properties of
beam and PZT patches (Actuator and Sensor) are given in
Table-1. An external disturbing force FDist is acting at the
free end. FActu is the force generated by the Actuator. Fig- 1,
2 and 3 shows three positions of the PZT Sensor/Actuator
pair. The beam is divided in 3 Finite Elements. The beam
may be divided in more than 3 Finite Elements (say 4, 5, 6
etc.). The more Finite Elements we take the more accurate
results we get. The beam is considered as Euler-Bernoulli
Beam and PZT patches are also considered as Euler-
Bernoulli beam elements. We first start with the modelling
of regular beam element and then modelling of the Smart
beam element i.e. element having Piezoelectric
Sensor/Actuator pair also. Finally all the elements are
assembled using FE analysis. In modelling and analysis the
following assumptions are taken:-
The beam, sensor and actuator are taken as Euler-
Bernoulli beam elements i.e. effect of transverse
shear forces is neglected.
Sensor and actuator layers are thin compared with
the beam thickness.
Cross- sections of beam, sensor and actuator
remain plane and normal to the deformed
longitudinal axis before and also after bending.
Neutral axis of beam, sensor and actuator passes
through the centroid.

equations.

electric field is constant, d31 is Piezoelectric Constant
(Coulomb/N or m/V), E is Electric field (Volt/m), D is
Electric displacement i.e. charge per unit area
(Coulomb/m2
),
is Dielectric constant ( Permittivity) under
constant stress. The direct piezoelectric effect is used to
calculate the output charge on the sensor layer created by
the strains in the beam. Since no electric field is applied to
the sensor layer, we get

used in the present study. A typical PID control law that can
be used for Active Vibration Control is:
( ) ( ) ( )p i dy t K K e t dt K e t (28)
Where y (t) is control signal, Kp, Ki and Kd are Proportional,
Integral and Derivatives gains respectively and e(t) and e(t)
are error signal and its derivative respectively. These three
gains can be tuned in order to provide fine control for the
application. For fine tuning of the controller the following
gain values are taken into consideration KP=100, Kd =10 &
Ki=50.
A typical PID controller is shown in Fig.- 7
6. DYNAMIC EQUATION OF SMART STRUCTURE
Next step is to formulate and solve the Equation of motion
of entire structure that is given by
Dist ActuM q K q F F (29)
Consider a generalized coordinate using a transformation
q x for the first two dominant vibratory modes
then equation of motion becomes
r r r r
Dist ActuM x K x F F (30)
If damping of the structure is also considered then assuming
proportional damping as
C M K (31)
The generalized dynamic equation of motion is given as
r r r r r
Dist ActuM x C x K x F F (32)

8. RESULTS
The beam is divided in the three Finite elements. Time
response of the structure is studied after bonding the
Sensor/actuator pair at different locations on the beam say
near the fixed end, at the middle and at the free end. The
results are shown in Figures- 8,9 and 10 respectively
CONCLUSIONS
Present study is useful in controlling the vibration of modern
day machines, Engineering structures, Automobiles,
Gadgets Spacecrafts, Bridges, Marine equipments, Machine
Tools, Off shore structures, High rise buildings etc. Present
work deals with Active vibration control of a Cantilever
Beam bonded with two Piezoelectric patches as collocated
pair. It is observed that without control, response is
paramount but after applying control force sufficient
vibration suppression has been achieved. Results are taken
after placing the Piezoelectric Actuator/Sensor Pair near
fixed end, at middle and near free end of the beam. It can be
concluded from the work that best result is obtained when
the Piezoelectric patches are bonded near the fixed end.
