The present paper presents a comprehensive methodology for the structural active vibration damping using a fuzzy logic control. The proposed application setup consists of a cantilever beam equipped with two pairs of collocated piezoceramic (PZT) actuators and sensors. The investigated carbon composite beam is modeled using a shell 2D-model on Abaqus commercial finite element code. The PZT patches are modelled as additional layers with a coupled electromechanical effect. Experimental data corresponding to the controlled and to the uncontrolled systems are also presented considering fixed frequency and pulse force excitation.
