Actuation Performance of Macro Fibre Composite (MFC) as Actuator in Vibration Reduction of Cantilever Beams

This study proposes a vibration suppression technique that uses piezoelectric material to restrict the dynamic amplitudes of cantilever beam. The finite element analysis (FEA) model is created and incorporated with Macro Fiber Composite (MFC8507-P2) in ANSYS framework. A comparative has been performed using three different types materials i.e., Polylactic acid (PLA), PLA Short Carbon Fibers (PLA-SCF Composite), Continuous (PLA-CCF for An external disturbance causes beam vibrate, MFC8507-P2 patch provides counter-force structure reduce vibrations. placed at an appropriate location on each suppress induced by initial fundamental modes. Modal find natural frequencies contribution mode overall response under loading conditions. Transient structural observe influence amplitude time. Furthermore, frequency determine impact measured tip simulation results validate decreases as applied voltage increases.
