Control of hydro-elastic vibrations of two parallel plates by electromagnetic coil

In this work, we investigate the possibility of using an electromagnetic coil for damping the resonance vibrations of two rectangular parallel plates, containing a quiescent fluid in the gap between them. Some preliminary simulations using the finite element method were carried out to determine a suitable design of the experimental setup and to find possible locations of measurement points. This investigation showed that the control of resonance vibrations of the plate assembly is feasible in the case when one of the plates is used for the excitation and the other for the suppression of vibrations.
