    Revista Mexicana De Fisica, 2024
    The aim of this study is to propose a methodology to actively control the vibration of functionally graded plates, with the help of piezoelectric actuators and sensors. The study relays on the classical plate theory to analytically formulate the governing equation of motion, which is then expanded to derive a space state equation of the model. The material properties of the FG plate are assumed to vary along the thickness direction. In order to improve the damping effectiveness, the location of the piezoelectric sensors and actuators is optimally determined using the H2 norm. The necessary control voltage was determined based on optimal LQR and LQG controllers.
  • Drone control using the coupling of the pid controller and genetic algorithm

    Communications Scientific Letters of the University of Zilina, 2021
    Due to their strong abilities and easy usage, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) commonly named drones have found a place and merged in the different industrial sectors. These varieties of applications encourage researchers to search for new control algorithms that make drones operate smoothly. In this regard, the present study mains to design a PID controller for four motors drones (quadcopter). For this purpose, a state-space representation of the drone is proposed based on Newton Euler's formularies for a rigid body. For better performance of the control algorithm (PID) the parameters Kp, Ki, and Kd for the controller are established using an optimization search schema based on a genetic algorithm. Various simulations were performed to test the proposed idea.
  • Easy tracking of UAV using PID controller
    Satla Zouaoui, Elajrami Mohamed, Bendine Kouider
    Periodica Polytechnica Transportation Engineering, 2019
    The main objective of the present paper is to design a mathematical model to estimate the behavior of flying robots with four motors (quadcopters) controlled by three algorithms; P depends on the present errors; I on the accumulation of past errors, and D a prediction of future errors (PID controller design) with simple strategy. In this regard, a governing equation of motion based on Newton Euler’s formularies for rigid body dynamics is presented. In order to design the control algorithm some assumptions are made such as the ignorance of the blade flapping, surrounding fluid velocities. This exclusion of parameters makes the model flexible, simple, and allows the control to be more efficiency and easy to designed without the need of expensive computation. The simulation studies are carried out using MATLAB program.
  • Active Vibration damping of Smart composite beams based on system identification technique
    Kouider Bendine, Zouaoui Satla, Farouk Benallel Boukhoulda, Mohammed Nouari
    Curved and Layered Structures, 2018
    In the present paper, the active vibration control of a composite beam using piezoelectric actuator is investigated. The space state equation is determined using system identification technique based on the structure input output response provided by ANSYS APDL finite element package. The Linear Quadratic (LQG) control law is designed and integrated into ANSYS APDL to perform closed loop simulations. Numerical examples for different types of excitation loads are presented to test the efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed model.
  • Structural modeling and active vibration control of smart FGM plate through ANSYS
    Kouider Bendine, Benallel Farouk Boukhoulda, Mohammed Nouari, Zouaoui Satla
    International Journal of Computational Methods, 2017
    This paper presents a methodology to use the software ANSYS in modeling and active vibration control of a functionally graded (FGM) plate with upper and lower surface-bonded piezoelectric layers. First a FGM plate with piezoelectric layers is designed using APDL ANSYS. Then a modal analysis has been carried out to get the first five rank frequencies and mode shapes. A proportional–integral–derivative (PID) and a linear-quadratic-based output feedback controller are introduced to realize the vibration control through a closed loop. Results for various volume fraction indexes are presented.
