In this paper, we sought to develop an efficient controller for vibration reduction in a fully clamped plate. We investigated three control methodologies (positive velocity feedback, sliding mode control, and H∞ control) and two types of actuators (an inertial actuator and a distributed strain actuator). These were used to develop five control architectures (the sliding mode controller was not implemented for the inertial actuator). Both theoretical and experimental studies were undertaken with varying results. The best theoretical results were obtained when sliding mode and H∞ control were used in conjunction with a distributed strain actuator. Experimentally, the H∞ controller using the distributed strain actuator outperformed the others.

Conical shell structures are commonly used in many engineering systems, and vibration suppression is very important to realize the desired function. In this study, piezoelectric ceramics were used as actuators/sensors with a multimodal fuzzy sliding mode controller to suppress vibrations of conical shell structure for the first time. The structure’s natural frequencies and mode shapes were obtained through modal analysis using finite element method and verified by modal tests. The agreement between analysis and test results verified the finite element method was appropriate. A multimodal fuzzy sliding mode controller was subsequently designed based on the analysis to provide active vibration control. The resulting controller was tested experimentally for the conical shell structure. The experimental results indicated that the proposed controller can effectively use to suppress vibration for the conical shell structure.

This paper presents the active vibration control of an axially moving string system through a mass-damper-spring (MDS) controller at its right-hand side (RHS) boundary. A nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) describes a distributed parameter system (DPS) and directly selected as the object to be controlled. A new boundary control law is designed by sliding mode associated with Lyapunov method. It is shown that the boundary feedback states only include the displacement, velocity, and slope of the string at RHS boundary. Asymptotical stability of the control system is proved by the semigroup theory. Finally, finite difference scheme is used to validate the theoretical results.

A classical PI speed drive controller modified with the parallel addition of an on-off switching element appears to offer a potential for reasonable improvement over the performance of the original version. This improvement is obtained by combining classical transfer function techniques, sliding mode systems ideas, and self-tuning. While theoretical results, extended simulations, and preliminary experimental tests are encouraging, they do suggest that in actual industrial applications performance improvement may be conditioned by the usage of better performing open loop components.

Abstract This paper focuses a robust and knowledge-based control approach for multi-link robot manipulator systems. Based on the concepts of sliding-mode control and fuzzy logic control (FLC), a fuzzy sliding-mode controller has been developed in previous work. This controller possesses good robustness properties of sliding-mode control and the flexibility and ‘intelligent’ capabilities of knowledge-based control through the use of fuzzy logic. This paper presents experimental studies with fuzzy sliding-mode control as well as conventional sliding-mode control. The results show that the tracking error is guaranteed to converge to a specification in the presence of uncertainties. The performance of the fuzzy sliding-mode controller is found to be somewhat better than that of the conventional sliding-mode controller.

Abstract This paper presents a numerical study in which active and hybrid vibration confinement is compared with a conventional active vibration control method. Vibration confinement is a vibration control technique that is based on reshaping structural modes to produce “quiet areas” in a structure as opposed to adding damping as in conventional active or passive methods. In this paper, active and hybrid confinement is achieved in a flexible beam with two pairs of piezoelectric actuators and sensors and with two vibration absorbers. For comparison purposes, active damping is achieved also with two pairs of piezoelectric actuators and sensors using direct velocity feedback. The results show that both approaches are effective in controlling vibrations in the targeted area of the beam, with direct velocity feedback being slightly more cost effective in terms of required power. When combined with passive confinement, however, each method is improved with a significant reduction in required power.
