Preface The objective of my previous book, Vibration Control of Active Structures, was to cross the bridge between Structural Dynamics and Automatic Control. To insist on important control-structure interaction issues, the book often relied on “ad-hoc” models and intuition (e.g. a thermal analogy for piezoelectric loads), and was seriously lacking in accuracy and depth on transduction and energy conversion mechanisms which are essential in active structures. The present book project was initiated in preparation for a new edition, with the intention of redressing the imbalance, by including a more serious treatment of the subject. As the work developed, it appeared that this topic was broad enough to justify a book on its own. This short book attempts to offer a systematic and unified way of analyzing electromechanical and piezoelectric systems, following a HamiltonLagrange formulation. The transduction mechanisms and the HamiltonLagrange analysis of classical electromechanical systems have been addressed in a few excellent textbooks (e.g. Dynamics of Mechanical and Electromechanical Systems by Crandall et al. in 1968), but to the author’s knowledge, there has been no similar systematic treatment of piezoelectric systems. The first three chapters are devoted to the analysis of mechanical systems, electrical networks and classical electromechanical systems, respectively; Hamilton’s principle is extended to electromechanical systems following two dual formulations. Except for a few examples, this part of the book closely follows the existing literature. The last three chapters are devoted to piezoelectric systems. Chapter 4 analyzes discrete piezoelectric transducers and their introduction into a structure; the approach parallels that of the previous chapter with the appropriate energy and coenergy functions. Chapter 5 analyzes distributed systems, and focuses on piezoelectric beams and laminates, with particular attention to the way the piezoelectric layers interact with the supporting structure (piezoelectric loads, modal filters, etc.). Chapter 6 examines energy conversion from the perspective of active and passive damping; a unified approach is proposed, leading to a meaningful comparison of various active and passive techniques, and design guidelines for maximizing energy conversion. This book is intended for mechanical engineers (researchers and graduate students) who wish to get some training in electromechanical and piezoelectric transducers, and improve their understanding of the subtle interplay between mechanical response and electrical boundary condixiii

In so doing, we follow the famous advice given by Prof. Joseph Henry to Alexander Graham Bell, who had consulted him in connection with his telephone experiments in 1875, and lamented over his lack of the electrical knowledge needed to overcome his mechanical difficulties. Henry simply replied: “Get it”. The beauty of the HamiltonLagrange formulation is that, once the appropriate energy and coenergy functions are used, all the electromagnetic forces (electrostatic, Lorentz, reluctance forces,.) and the multi-physics constitutive equations are automatically accounted for. Acknowledgements I am indebted to my present and former graduate students and coworkers who, by their enthusiasm and curiosity, raised many of the questions which have led to this book. Particular thanks are due to Amit Kalyani, Bruno de Marneffe, More Avraam and Arnaud Deraemaeker who helped me in preparing the manuscript, and produced most of the figures. The comments of the Series Editor, Prof. Graham Gladwell, and of my friend Michel Geradin, have been very useful in improving this text. I am also indebted to ESA/ESTEC, EU, FNRS and the IUAP program of the SSTC for their generous and continuous support of the Active Structures Laboratory of ULB. This book was partly written while I was visiting professor at Universit´e de Technologie de Compi`egne (Laboratoire Roberval). Notation Notation is always a source of problems when writing a book, and the difficulty is further magnified as one attempts to address interdisciplinary subjects, which blend disconnected fields with a long history, each with its own, well established notation. This book is no exception to this rule, since mechatronics mixes, analytical mechanics, structural mechanics, electrical networks, electromagnetism, piezoelectricity and automatic control, etc. The notation has been chosen according to the following rules: (i) We shall follow the IEEE Standard on Piezoelectricity as much as we can. (ii) When there is no ambiguity, we will not make explicit distinction between scalars, vectors and matrices; the meaning will be clear from the context. In some circumstances, when the distinction is felt necessary, column vectors will be made explicit by { } (e.g. {T} will denote the stress xiv Preface

1 Lagrangian dynamics of mechanical systems 1.1 Introduction This book considers the modelling of electromechanical systems in an unified way based on Hamilton’s principle. This chapter starts with a review of the Lagrangian dynamics of mechanical systems, the next chapter proceeds with the Lagrangian dynamics of electrical networks and the remaining chapters address a wide class of electromechanical systems, including piezoelectric structures. Lagrangian dynamics has been motivated by the substitution of scalar quantities (energy and work) for vector quantities (force, momentum, torque, angular momentum) in classical vector dynamics. Generalized coordinates are substituted for physical coordinates, which allows a formulation independent of the reference frame. Systems are considered globally, rather than every component independently, with the advantage of eliminating the interaction forces (resulting from constraints) between the various elementary parts of the system. The choice of generalized coordinates is not unique. The derivation of the variational form of the equations of dynamics from its vector counterpart (Newton’s laws) is done through the principle of virtual work, extended to dynamics thanks to d’Alembert’s principle, leading eventually to Hamilton’s principle and the Lagrange equations for discrete systems. Hamilton’s principle is an alternative to Newton’s laws and it can be argued that, as such, it is a fundamental law of physics which cannot be derived. We believe, however, that its form may not be immediately comprehensible to the unexperienced reader and that its derivation for a system of particles will ease its acceptance as an alternative formula- 1

2 1 Lagrangian dynamics of mechanical systems tion of dynamic equilibrium. Hamilton’s principle is in fact more general than Newton’s laws, because it can be generalized to distributed systems (governed by partial differential equations) and, as we shall see later, to electromechanical systems. It is also the starting point for the formulation of many numerical methods in dynamics, including the finite element method. 1.2 Kinetic state functions Consider a particle travelling in the direction x with a linear momentum p. According to Newton’s law, the force acting on the particle equals the rate of change of the momentum: f = dp dt (1.1) The increment of work on the particle is fdx = dp dt dx = dp dt v dt = v dp (1.2) where v = dx/dt is the velocity of the particle. The kinetic energy function T(p) is defined as the total work done by f in increasing the momentum from 0 to p T(p) = Z p 0 v dp (1.3) According to this definition, T is a function of the instantaneous momentum p, with derivative equal to the instantaneous velocity dT dp = v (1.4) Up to now, no explicit relation between p and v has been assumed; the constitutive equation of Newtonian mechanics is p = mv (1.5) Substituting in Equ.(1.3), one gets T(p) = p2 2m (1.6) A complementary kinetic state function can be defined as the kinetic coenergy function (Fig.1.1)
