Perform the measurements and data acquisition of the velocity signal at a selected point
on the beam using the laser vibrometer and dSPACE system. Measurements should be
performed for different values of the controller gain, e.i. 0, 0.05,..,0.5. Describe the
measurement procedure.
1. Set the gain value in the computer
2. The computer will give the input about the gain value to the dSpace Box and
then sent the signal from the amplifier to the piezoelectric patch.
3. Give some movement to the beam then the laser vibrometer will read the
velocity signal then sent it to the dSpace Box and then to the Computer.
4. We will get the result as a graphic about the motion of the beam in which there
is amplitude in y direction and time in x direction (figure2).
5. Then save the data.
We can determine the decay rate of the exponential envelope g and the damping
ratio g for different values of the gain factor gv by using the data that we got from
the experiments as can be seen in the Table below.

To calculate the decay rate we need to input all of this figure, then we will take
two point from each of the picture and the distance or interval between the two
points that we pick.
To calculate the decay point we use:
In which te, ta, x(ta) and x(te) that we read from the Matlab Plot in table one for
each plot.

To calculate the damping ratio and the natural frequency we need to use this
equation:
1. Find the period
3. Convert to rad/s
Then we got:

Based on the measurements points (gv, g) we can perform the curve fitting using
the polynomial of the first order (linear function). Then we can determine the
coefficients a, b of the fitted linear function g(gv) as be shown below:
By plotting (gv, g) we get graphics as can be seen in the figure 3.
Then by doing curve fitting we will get the first order (linear function) of this
graphic.
By using the Y equation, we know that a and b coefficients is 0.017 and 0.0058
respectively.
To determine for which damping ratio g the vibration amplitude decays after 1.5
seconds to 30% of its initial value. We can calculate by:
t = 1.5s
t = te-ta
1.5s = te - ta
Xe = X(te) = 30% X(ta) = 0.3 X(ta)
By using :

= 0.1267
Then we can also find at which gain factor gv is the damping ratio equal to zero
(g = 0). We can Calculate and check our result later by experimentally!
