Description
Summary:A hybrid optimization strategy for integrated topological optimization design of piezoelectric cylindrical flat shell structure is proposed. The method combines the genetic algorithm (GA) and linear-quadratic-regulator (LQR) theory to optimize the performance of coupling structure/control system. The GA is used to choose the optimal structure topology and number and placements of actuators and control parameters; meanwhile, the LQR is used to design control system to suppress vibration of optimal structure under sinusoidal excitation, which is based on the couple-mode space control. In addition, the mathematical morphology operators are used for repairs of disconnected structure topology. The results of numerical simulation and computations show that the proposed method is effective and feasible, with good performance for the optimal and coupling piezoelectric cylindrical shell structure/control system.
