Terfenol-D Composite Actuator For Vibration Suppression Applications: A Review

Abstract

Terfenol-D can be employed as a sensor and/or actuator in applications such as vibration control, noise reduction, health monitoring and energy harvesting. Several scholars have paid significant attention in the previous research to theoretical modelling and formulation for free and force vibration of laminated composite beams/plates. The free vibration control of beams and plates that have been combined with a Terfenol-D layer is the only topic of this review paper. This article discusses the potential scope for future study on laminated composite beams and plates combined with Terfenol-D layer. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
