title = "Active vibration control with optimized piezoelectric topologies",
abstract = "This paper investigates the optimal topology of an actively controlled piezoelectric actuator bonded to an elastic cantilever beam under steady-state harmonic loading. The actuator is discretized using finite elements, and control is applied to the actuator based on the sensor's degrees of freedom using proportional control. This study investigates the optimal distribution of actuator material for one and five layers of finite elements. The optimized actuator topology shows substantial improvement over initial piezoelectric topologies and over traditional actuator placement.",
