Optimization algorithms for composite beam as smart active control of structures using genetic algorithms

The principles of productive active and semi-active civil and infrastructure engineering structural control date back 40 years and significant progress has been recorded in those four decades. Smart structures typically have some control systems that enable them to deal with perturbations. The active vibration management techniques have been applied numerically and experimentally in order to reduce the vibrational levels of lightweight economic composite structures. Smart composite beams and plates have been produced and tested with surface-based piezoelectric sensors and actuators. It has been found that an effective model of smart composite plates can predict the dynamic characteristics. Utilizing Genetic Algorithm (GA) was designed and implemented. Two regression model as root mean square (RMSE) and determination coefficient (R2) were used. The first and second bending modes are operated effectively by a beam, and simultaneous vibration levels are significantly reduced for the conductive plates by the simultaneous operation of the bending and twisting modes. Vibration management is realized by using efficient control. GA could show better performance for managing linear feedback laws under given assumptions.
