Study on Vibration Control of Gun Tube with Intelligent Structure

Abstract:

An active control test is done trying to control the vibration of gun tube. A four-layer piezoelectric actuator is glued on the root of an analogue tube (a steel barrel) and a voltage amplifier is used to regulate the voltage on the actuator restraining vibration of the barrel. With 130 voltages, the vibration acceleration of the simulated free end of the barrel decreases 83 percent from the original 60 m/s² and he attenuation time is shorted greatly. It can be seen that the vibration of the barrel is decreased obviously. It is feasible and very effective to control the vibration of gun tube by using intelligent structure according to the result of the theoretical analysis and test result.
