Note: Self-sensing based on charge control improves the performance of active damping using piezoelements

2012 
A piezoelectric element can be used separately as a sensor or an actuator. A self-sensing strategy based on a charge driver can utilize a piezoelectric element as a sensor while actuating. The strategy was proven via experiments on a cantilever vibrator using a piezoelectric plate with both sensing and actuating functions. The amplitude of the vibration was actively damped by a factor exceeding 90%. The method can be used in numerous fields, including scanning probe microscopy, vibration suppression, and monitoring the health of structures.
