The aim of this work is to optimize placement and sizing of a given number of piezoelectric (PZT) actuator patches on an Euler-Bernoulli beam, in order to control (or damp) desired modes in an optimal way. A modal approach for the dynamic influence functions is used to take directly into account the position, length and loading of a generic PZT. The optimization problem is solved from a stochastic point of view by means of Genetic Algorithms.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to optimize placement and sizing of a given number of piezoelectric (PZT) actuator patches on an Euler-Bernoulli beam, in order to control (or damp) desired modes in an optimal way. A modal approach for the dynamic influence functions is used to take directly into account the position, length and loading of a generic PZT. The optimization problem is solved from a stochastic point of view by means of Genetic Algorithms.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
