Compliant Actuator

This work proposes a method for controlling vibration using compliant-based actuators. The compliant actuator combines a conventional actuator with elastic elements in a series configuration. The benefits of compliant actuators for vibration control applications, demonstrated in this work, are twofold: (i) vibration reduction over a wide frequency bandwidth by passive control means and (ii) improvement of vibration control performance when active control is applied using the compliant actuator. The vibration control performance is compared with the control performance achieved using the well-known vibration absorber and conventional rigid actuator systems. The performance comparison showed that the compliant actuator provided a better flexibility in achieving vibration control over a certain frequency bandwidth. The passive and active control characteristics of the compliant actuator are investigated, which shows that the control performance is highly dependent on the compliant stiffness parameter. The active control characteristics are analyzed by using the proportional-derivative (PD) control strategy which demonstrated the capability of effectively changing the respective effective stiffness and damping of the system. These attractive dual passive–active control characteristics are therefore advantageous for achieving an effective vibration control system, particularly for controlling the vibration over a specific wide frequency bandwidth.

Active Vibration

Novel semi-active vibration controllers are developed in this study for magnetorheological (MR) fluid-based vibration control systems, including: (1) a band-pass frequency shaped semi-active control algorithm, (2) a narrow-band frequency shaped semi-active control algorithm. These semi-active vibration control algorithms designed without resorting to the implementation of an active vibration control algorithms upon which is superposed the energy dissipation constraint. These new Frequency Shaped Semi-active Control (FSSC) algorithms require neither an accurate damper (or actuator) model, nor system identification of damper model parameters for determining control current input. In the design procedure for the FSSC algorithms, the semi-active MR damper is not treated as an active force producing actuator, but rather is treated in the design process as a semi-active dissipative device. The control signal from the FSSC algorithms is a control current, and not a control force as is typically done for active controllers. In this study, two FSSC algorithms are formulated and performance of each is assessed via simulation. Performance of the FSSC vibration controllers is evaluated using a single-degree-of-freedom (DOF) MR fluid-based engine mount system. To better understand the control characteristics and advantages of the two FSSC algorithms, the vibration mitigation performance of a semi-active skyhook control algorithm, which is the classical semi-active controller used in base excitation problems, is compared to the two FSSC algorithms.

Lyapunov Approach

We address a simultaneous optimal design problem of a semi-active control law and design parameters in a vibration control device for civil structures. The Vibration Control Device (VCD) that is being developed by authors is used as the semi-active control device in the present paper. The VCD is composed of a mechanism of a ball screw with a flywheel for the inertial resistance force and an electric motor with an electric circuit for the damping resistance force. A new bang-bang type semi-active control law referred to as Inverse Lyapunov Approach is proposed as the semi-active control law. In the Inverse Lyapunov Approach the Lyapunov function is searched so that performance measures in structural vibration control are optimized in the premise of the bang-bang type semi-active control based on the Lyapunov function. The design parameters to determine the Lyapunov function and the design parameters of the VCD are optimized for the good performance of the semi-active control system. The Genetic Algorithm is employed for the optimal design.

This paper describes the proportional integral (PI) control of hybrid squeeze film dampers (HSFDS) for active control of rotor vibrations. Recently it was shown that the automatically controlled HSFD based on feedback of rotor speed can be a very efficient device for active control of rotor vibration when passing through critical speeds. Although considerable effort has been put into the study of steady-state vibration control, there are few methods in the literature applicable to transient vibration control of rotor-bearing systems. Rotating machinery may experience dangerously high dynamic loading due to the sudden mass unbalance that could be associated with blade loss. Transient run-up and coast down through critical speeds when starting up or shutting down rotating machinery induces excessive bearing loads at criticals. In this paper, PI control is proposed as a regulator for the HSFD system to attenuate transient vibration for both sudden unbalance and transient runup through critical speeds. A complete mathematical model of this closed-loop system is simulated on a digital computer. Results show an overall enhanced behavior for the closed-loop rotor system. Gain scheduling of both the integral gain and the reference input is incorporated into the closed-loop system with the PI regulator and results in an enhanced behavior of the controlled system.

This paper deals with a new system design method for motion and vibration control of a three-dimensional flexible shaking table. An integrated modeling and controller design procedure for flexible shaking table system is presented. An experimental three-dimensional shaking table is built. “Reduced-Order Physical Model” procedure is adopted. A state equation system model is composed and a feedback controller is designed by applying LQI control law to achieve simultaneous motion and vibration control. Adding a feedforward, two-degree-of-freedom control system is designed. Computer simulations and control experiments are carried out and the effectiveness of the presented procedure is investigated. The robustness of the system is also investigated.

Scheduling Strategy

A scheduling strategy of multiple semi-active control laws for various earthquake disturbances is proposed to maximize the control performance. Generally, the semi-active controller for a given structural system is designed as a single control law and the single control law is used for all the forthcoming earthquake disturbances. It means that the general semi-active control should be designed to achieve a certain degree of the control performance for all the assumed disturbances with various time and/or frequency characteristics. Such requirement on the performance robustness becomes a constraint to obtain the optimal control performance. We propose a scheduling strategy of multiple semi-active control laws. Each semi-active control law is designed to achieve the optimal performance for a single earthquake disturbance. Such optimal control laws are scheduled with the available data in the control system. As the scheduling mechanism of the multiple control laws, a command signal generator (CSG) is defined in the control system. An artificial neural network (ANN) is adopted as the CSG. The ANN-based CSG works as an interpolator of the multiple control laws. Design parameters in the CSG are optimized with the genetic algorithm (GA). Simulation study shows the effectiveness of the approach.
