Abstract. Active Vibration Control (AVC) problem is successfully studied considering all the characteristics of a control problem. The controlled system consists of a honeycomb panel of carbon fiber. Expensive devices are in general used for setting up and designing AVC this due to limitations for practical implementation. In our work we point to a low cost and practical solution using a microcontroller that has been verified. The honeycomb plate has been forces with out of plane load using an electrodynamic shaker at resonances that has been identified by experimental modal analysis. Piezoceramic patches are used as sensor and actuator for the control. Multiple analog signal processing circuits were developed to scale and shift the signal at the input and output of the MCU. The Positive Position Feedback (PPF) control algorithm is proposed, and a campaign of tests are carried out with harmonic excitations at resonance frequencies. Experimental results show an amplitude velocity reduction from 50% to 77% less and Power Spectral Density (PSD) attenuation up to 12.8 dB. The size and structural properties of the MFC patches, the control unit and structure under control are suitable for automobile and aerospace applications.
