Development of a Flexible Plate Structure Rig for Implementation of Active Vibration Control Algorithm

This paper describe the development of a flexible plate structure rig for the implementation of active vibration control algorithm. The experimental rig is designed as an apparatus to create vibration along the flexible plate structure. Displacement, acceleration and excitation behaviour at the flexible plate structure were recorded by mean of piezoelectric accelerometer, force sensor and displacement laser sensor. The data from the experiment can be used for further analysis of the development and implementation of active vibration control algorithm especially in the applications of vibrational mechanical structure, submarines, aerospace etc. Results from the experiments are raw data which can later be used in designing an appropriate instrument or device that can suppress the vibration.
