Abstract

The concept of smart machinery is of current interest. Several technologies are relevant in this quest including magnetic bearings, shape memory alloys (SMA) and piezoelectric activation. Recently a smart bearing pedestal was proposed based on SMAs and elastomeric O-rings. However, such a device is clearly relevant only for the control of rigid rotors; for flexible rotors there is a need for some modification on the rotor itself. In this paper, equations of motion are developed to describe a rotor with a force generator (for example, a piezoelectric element) mounted on it. It is shown that such a system may be used to compensate for imbalance by inducing a rotor bend. This leads to some questions as to the optimum control strategies, and the paper discusses some of the possibilities.
