Piezoelectric material PLZT exhibits non-linearity in the dielectric constant and piezoelectric strain coefficient with respect to the temperature. In this paper, the active vibration control technique is employed on a cantilevered plate structure using PLZT piezoelectric material as a sensor as well as an actuator. The variation in dielectric constant and piezoelectric strain coefficient with change in temperature is considered while actively controlling the vibrations of the plate instrumented with PLZT patches. The finite element modeling of the structure is done using Hamilton’s principle. The modified constitutive equations of piezoelectric material PLZT are included for dielectric constant and piezoelectric strain coefficient with respect to the temperature variation. The vibrations are sensed by one piezoelectric patch at different ambient temperatures ranging from 27 °C to −15 °C. The negative velocity feedback control law is used for the active vibration control of the structure. The second piezoelectric patch is used as an actuator in the same temperature range of 27 °C to −15 °C. The experiments are performed for two cases: in case 1 the effect of temperature on dielectric constant and piezoelectric strain coefficient is ignored in the control law for active vibration control of the structure. In case 2 the effect of temperature on dielectric constant and piezoelectric strain coefficient is considered in the control law. In this work, the active vibration control of a dynamic structure is achieved by using PLZT piezoelectric material with the variation in ambient temperature.
