The optimal placement of sensors and actuators in active vibration control of flexible linkage mechanisms is studied. First, the vibration control model of the flexible mechanism is introduced. Second, based on the concept of the controllability and the observability of the controlled subsystem and the residual subsystem, the optimal model is developed aiming at the maximization of the controllability and the observability of the controlled modes and minimization of those of the residual modes. Finally, a numerical example is presented, which shows that the proposed method is feasible. Simulation analysis shows that to achieve the same control effect, the control system is easier to realize if the sensors and actuators are located in the optimal positions.

Active magnetic bearings have several advantages over conventional mechanical and fluid bearings. However, when the magnetic bearings are used at high rotational speeds, whirling motions and vibrations synchronized with the rotation of the rotor should be considered. In order to suppress these unfavorable vibrations of rotor which is supported by magnetic bearings, we have developed an active vibration control system with a two-level control structure. Experimental results show that our active bearings system effectively suppresses the whirling motion.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimal placement of piezoelectric actuator for active vibration control of smart structure. The structures can be described in the modal space based on the independent modal space control method and dynamic equations derived from finite element model. The modal damping ratios are derived from modal equations and an optimal target is given by maximizing the modal damping ratios. Accumulation method is adopted to the optimization calculation. Simulations are carried out for active vibration control of a conical shell with distributed piezoelectric actuators. Control effects proved the validity of the optimal method above by compared with the non-optimal results. The optimal method in this paper gives a useful guide for quantity optimization of actuators to piezoelectric structures.

Abstract This paper presents design, implementation and experimental results of active vibration control of Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Space Truss using a piezoelectric ceramic stack actuator. The NPS space truss represents a flexible spacecraft structure which may support interferometer, antenna, and other vibration-sensitive instrumentation. To simulate the effects of a spacecraft disturbance on the truss, a proof mass actuator is incorporated on the structure to excite the truss. To reduce the vibrations caused by the proof mass actuator, an active strut member is installed along a diagonal of the base bay of the truss. The active strut element consists of a piezoelectric ceramic actuator stack, a force transducer, and mechanical interfaces. An integral plus double-integral force controller is designed to suppress vibration of the truss. Experimental results demonstrate that the active piezoceramic strut actuator can effective reduce truss vibration.

This correspondence focuses on the analysis and implementation of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) filtered-u least mean square (FULMS) algorithm for active vibration suppression of a cantilever smart beam with surface bonded lead zirconate titanate patches. By analysing a single-input single-output FULMS algorithm, the MIMO FULMS controller structure is given. Then an active vibration control experimental platform is established, with optimal placement of the actuators and sensors based on the maximal modal force rule. Simulation contrast analysis of FULMS algorithm and the most famous filtered-x least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm is performed while the reference signal is extracted from the exciter as well as directly from the controlled structure. Simulation results show that if the feedback information reflects the reference signal collected by the reference transducers, the FXLMS controller could hardly suppress the vibration while the FULMS controller is still effective. Then the actual control experiment is performed, and the result confirms the simulation results. The designed MIMO FULMS vibration controller has a good control performance, suppressing the vibration significantly with rapid convergence.
