The vibration control of smart structure is considered in this paper. Membrane SAR antenna structure with piezoelectric sensors and actuators is taken as an example. The dynamic model is build up based on vector form intrinsic finite element (VFIFE) method. The four nodes membrane element, sensor element and actuator element for VFIFE are presented. By decentralized control stratagem, the bending and torsional vibrations of the membrane SAR antenna can be decoupled on measurement and driving control. The fuzzy control and adaptive fuzzy control are applied to suppress the bending and torsional vibrations of the membrane SAR structure. In the numerical experiment section, form finding is first carried out, then vibration control simulations are studied. The results demonstrate that adaptive fuzzy control algorithm can suppress the vibrations more effectively than the fuzzy control algorithm.
