Experimental Measurement of Displacement and Vibration of Piezoelectric Smart Structures

Recent advances in the field of distributed sensing and actuation have led to the development of new ‘smart structures’. A smart (or intelligent) structure is able to sense and respond, and control its own characteristics and state. Piezoelectric smart materials have gained popularity as both sensors and actuators. In the present work a new experimental set-up is described that was designed to carry out static and dynamic experimentation on piezoelectric smart structures. Four types of experiment were carried out; results were also determined using analytical methods. The comparison of the analytical and experimental results showed good agreement.
