1. INTRODUCTION
The control of vibration by using a piezoelectric actuator and sensor had been the topic of
interest of many researchers as it is the major problem in structures like automobile wings,
tennis rackets, knocking sensors, sports, aircraft, railway compartments, ultrasonic structures,
and few more cavities in order to control the vibrations or disturbances produced by a system
[1]. Even though there are lots of techniques for vibration control such as damping system,
remodeling of structure, extra mass adding, adding vibration isolation, high stiffness materials
which are having good damping proportion, vibration absorber, increasing the width or
thickness of plate are not so appropriate to control the vibrations produced i.e. low natural
frequencies. These techniques are failing due to lower frequencies; the wavelength will
increase enormously which leads to the layer thickening of the noise absorbing systems and it
will append the extra weight to the structure, therefore, it gets hard. As many advancements
arrived in modern laptops had found an alternative at lower natural frequencies for this

passive control systems in order to eradicate the unnecessary disturbance or sound. Based on
the natural frequency range, the active and passive control methods are divided as disturbance
below 1000Hz is an active method and if disturbance above 1000Hz is a passive method [2].
But most of the times the active control method is preferred because it has a competency to
operate at antithetical conditions.
The Piezoelectricity means to generate an electric charge. This electricity is formed due to
the pressure that which propagates on materials such as ceramics, solid crystals. The effect
produced by piezo will acts as the relation between electrical and mechanical systems. This
effect is reversible when mechanical force is applied results in the generation of the electrical
field. Similarly, it will act as irreversible when electrical forces are applied results in the
generation of mechanical field [3, 4]
From the literary survey, it is found that if the absence of piezoelectric patch may lead to
deflection and buckling of material due to load. Then in presence of piezoelectric, deflection
and buckling is avoided. Piezoelectric patch is used for vibration control purpose which is
produced in systems because of reliability, easiness and regarding mass added to structures
will not make heavy [5]. But while fixing piezo patch, on the top surface sensor is located and
at the bottom surface, the actuator is located. From sensor, the actual control loop signal will
generate and then this signal is transferred to the actuator. From there actual effect will be
acting on the system to control the vibrations.
For optimization, vibration control, detection of any damages in structures or systems and
better improvement of dynamic characteristics a modal analysis had been a prominent
technology. This modal analysis not only limited to mechanical, automobiles but also
applicable for aircraft structures, buildings, bio-medicals etc., when no external load is acting
on a system, then free vibrations will occur due to oscillations produced by an initial
deflection [6]. Then systems possess some amount of natural frequencies due to stiffness
distribution and mass distribution and degrees of freedom. If it is a continuous system, it will
result in infinite no of degrees of freedom and infinite no of frequencies [7]. In this paper, the
optimal location of the piezoelectric sensor is find out by viewing the mode shapes of the
flexible steel plate. A method is proposed for optimum location of piezoelectric patches by
viewing the mode shapes of the plate.
2. METHODOLOGY
FE model of the steel plate and optimal location of piezoelectric patch: In this section, FEM
of steel plate is carried out.
2.1. Finite element modeling of neat plate
An FE model of the steel plate is made in Abaqus software by considering the length of
0.261m, breadth of 0.3m, and thickness of 0.001m. Properties of steel are taken as Young’s
modulus of E=200 G-Pa, density of ρ=7800Kg/m3, Poisson’s ratio of ν = 0.3. The boundary
condition is taken as clamped at all edges. Mesh size of 10×12 is considered [6]. Finally,
Modal shapes of steel plate are taken out.
2.2. Viewing the mode shapes of neat plate
Mode shapes of the neat plate are shown in [Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4]. In
this section, the optimal location is found out by viewing the modal shapes of the plate. It is
observed that there are nodal lines on the plate where the plate displacement is zero. It is
observed that there is no nodal line in the 1st mode, one horizontal at the center of 2nd mode,
one vertical at the center of 3rd mode, horizontal and vertical at 4th mode. So, it can be

concluded that piezoelectric sensor should not be at the nodal lines. If the sensor will be
placed at the nodal line it will not sense that mode.
2.3. FE model of the plate-piezoelectric patch
A piezo P-876 A12 Dura Act piezoelectric patch is considering by taking a length of
0.0522m, breadth of 0.05m and thickness of 0.0005m. Properties of piezoelectric patch is
taken as Young’s modulus of E=23.3 G-Pa, Density of ρ=7800Kg/m3 Poisson ratio of ν =
0.34, Piezoelectric strain coefficient e31 = -8.9678 C/m2, e32 = -8.9678 C/m2, Dielectric
constant ɛ33 = 6.6075e-9. Mesh size of 2x2 is considered [6]. Finally, Modal shapes of steel
plate with the piezoelectric patch are taken out. In Abaqus software, the piezo patch is
attached to the steel plate by using tie which is taken from constraint option in order to control
the vibrations produced by the plate. Similarly, the job is created and Mode shapes of the
plate-piezoelectric patch are extracted out.
2.4. Optimal location of piezoelectric patch using modal analysis
Best preferable location of the piezoelectric patch is found out in ABAQUS CAE software by
viewing method.
2.4.1. Method: Viewing the mode shapes of neat plate
In this method, the modal analysis is conducting in which mode shapes are extracted out.
With the help of mode shapes, piezoelectric sensor cannot be placed at the nodal line where
displacement is minimum. By viewing the mode shapes of the neat plate, from [Figure 1] it is
observed that in 1st mode shape, no nodal line is formed. From [Figure 2] it is observed out
that in 2nd mode shape, the nodal line is formed horizontally. From [Figure 3] it is observed
that in 3rd mode shape, the nodal line is formed vertically. From [Figure 4] it is observed that
in 4th mode shape, the node line is formed as a quadrant. Piezo cannot be placed at nodal
lines in which displacement is zero and control of vibration also fails. So, by viewing the
modal shapes of the neat plate. Since the rectangular plate is clamped at all edges, it is divided
into four coordinates. By viewing the one of the quarter quadrant is same as remaining three
quadrants.
From Table 1, Initially piezo is placed at center location L1 (61, 62, 72, 73) and viewed
that 1st mode shape is possible as no nodal line is passing through piezo but 2nd mode shape
is not possible as the horizontal nodal line is passing through piezo, then 3rd mode shape is
not possible as the vertical nodal line is passing through piezo, then 4th mode shape is also
not possible as both horizontal and vertical nodal lines are passing through piezo. So, it is
concluded that location L1 is not the optimum location. Then Piezo is placed on the horizontal
line at location L2 (60, 61, 71, 72) and viewed that 1st mode shape is possible but 2nd mode
shape, 3rd mode shape, 4th mode shape is not possible as nodal lines are passing through
piezo. Similarly, Location L2 is not the preferable location.
Then piezo is placed on the vertical line at location L3 (59, 60, 70, 71) and it is found out
that 1st mode shape is possible but the 2nd mode shape, 3rd mode shape, 4th mode shape is
not possible as nodal lines are passing through piezo. Likewise, Location L3 is also not the
optimal location. Finally, piezo is moved to location L4 (37, 38, 48, 49), from [Figure 5] it is
observed that 1st mode shape is possible as no nodal line is passing through piezo. From
[Figure 6], it is observed that 2nd mode shape is possible as no nodal line is formed. From
[Figure 7], it is observed that 3rd mode shape is possible as no nodal line is formed. From
[Figure 8], it is observed that 4th mode shape is possible as no nodal line is formed. So, at
location L4 (37, 38, 48, 49) is the optimum location as no nodal line is passing through the
piezo.

4. CONCLUSION
In this paper, the choice of optimal location of the piezoelectric sensor on steel plate is
proposed by using the modal analysis. It is concluded that in order to control the vibrations
produced by the system is done by attaching a piezoelectric sensor to the plate. Then mode
shapes of steel plate with piezo are found out by conducting the modal analysis in ABAQUS
software. By viewing the mode shapes of the plate with piezo it is observed that the
piezoelectric sensor cannot be placed on the nodal line where displacement is minimum. Then
this will not provide an effect for controlling the vibrations.
Finally, after placing the piezo at different locations on a steel plate. It is found out that
Location L4 (37, 38, 48, 49) is considered as a best optimum location for the piezoelectric
sensor as it is satisfying all the mode shapes where no nodal lines are passing through the
piezo. This optimum location will control the vibrations which are produced by the system
effects. With the help of the viewing method, it is observed that finding the most optimum
location of piezo is very quick.
