The Delayed Resonator (DR) is a recent active vibration absorption technique which uses time delayed position feedback generating ideal resonance feature in a passive vibration absorber. This objective can also be achieved using proportional and derivative (PD) control as well as other more sophisticated routines such as LQR, sliding mode control. In this paper, DR technique is compared with PD, a widely adopted control strategy. Actuator dynamics is taken into account in analyzing the system. An analytical comparison is presented which is followed by an experimental validation of the findings using a single-degree-of-freedom primary structure and an absorber with electromagnetic actuator. Both analytical and experimental results show that the DR and PD implementations can be equally effective in suppressing undesired oscillations. The latter, however, requires a velocity observer, which is an additional complexity beyond the DR feedback structure. [S0022-0434(00)02203-6]

Abstract A semi-active dynamic vibration absorber is proposed for controlling the free-vibration impulse response of structures. It is assumed that (i) the initial displacement for the absorber spring can be set to non-zero values and (ii) the viscous damping coefficient for the absorber damping can be adjusted. The theory is first developed for a single-degree-of-freedom structure, and is then generalized to continuous structures. The extensive use of closed-form analytical results provides useful insight into the complex interaction between the structure and absorber. This makes it possible to solve the design problem without recourse to numerical optimization. The semi-active vibration absorber is found to be far more effective than conventional passive devices.

Abstract A novel tuning methodology for active vibration absorption is discussed. The underlying proposition is to use partial state feedback with multiple unrelated time delays. The objective of this tuning is to combat excitation forces with multiple frequencies, which are time varying. It is shown that the required control parameters can be evaluated on-line rather rapidly. The system stability aspect however, needs to be resolved a priori to the control actuation. This is the challenge facing this procedure due to the presence of multiple (and mostly “unrelated”) time delays. A new stability assessment methodology, the Directional Stability Chart method, is presented. The outcome of this procedure is used to determine the local stability levels and preferred operating zones in the domain of the multiple excitation frequencies. The method is also expanded to assess the relative stability level of the tuned absorber. Example case is taken from a PZT actuated active absorber. Desirability of the operating points are compared based on the relative stability levels, and the observations are verified by simulations.

This paper presents a newly designed switching linear feedback structure of sliding mode control (SLF-SMC) plugged with an model reference adaptive system (MRAS) based sensorless field-oriented control (SFOC) for induction motor (IM). Indeed, the performance of the MRAS depends mainly on the operating point and the parametric variation of the IM. Hence, the sliding mode control (SMC) could be considered a good control alternative due to its easy implementation and robustness. Simulation and experimentation results are presented to show the superiority of the proposed SLF-SMC technique in comparison with the classical PI controller under different speed ranges and inertia conditions.

Model uncertainties and actuator delays are two factors that degrade the performance of active structural control systems. A new robust control system is proposed for control of an active tuned mass damper (AMD) in a high-rise building. The controller comprises a two-loop sliding model controller in conjunction with a dynamic state predictor. The sliding model controller is responsible for model uncertainties and the state predictor compensates for the time delays due to actuator dynamics and process delay. A reduced model that is validated against experimental data was constructed and equipped with an electro-mechanical AMD system mounted on the top storey. The proposed controller was implemented in the test structure and its performance under seismic disturbances was simulated using a seismic shake table. Moreover, robustness of the proposed controller was examined via variation of the test structure parameters. The shake table test results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed controller at tackling the simulated disturbances in the presence of model uncertainties and input delay.
