Experimental study on the seismic response of kewitte latticed shell using piezoelectric actuator

Integrating the function of sensor, actuator and bearing load into one piezoelectric active member which is used to implement an intelligent active control to the seismic response vibration of the lattice shell structure. This article through experiments to study the applications of independently developed piezoelectric active member in the active control to the lattice shell structure. The results show that, as an internal control factor, this piezoelectric active member could effectively control the seismic response of the lattice shell structure and play a role of suppress the vibration of structures.
