In wind tunnel tests, the cantilever sting is usually used to support aircraft models because of its simple structure and low aerodynamic interference. However, in some special conditions, big-amplitude and low-frequency vibration would occur easily on the model not only in the pitch direction but also in the yaw direction, resulting in inaccurate data and even damage of the supporting structure. In this paper, aiming at suppressing the vibration in pitch and yaw plane, a multidimensional system identification and active vibration control system on the basis of piezoelectric actuators is established. A vibration monitoring method based on the strain-displacement transformation (SDT) matrix is proposed, which can transform strain signals into vibration displacements. The system identification based on chirp-Z transform (CZT) is applied to improve the adaptability and precision of the building process for the system model. After that, the hardware platform as well as the software control system based on the classical proportional-derivative (PD) algorithm is built. A series of experiments are carried out, and the results show the exactness of the vibration monitoring method. The system identification process is completed, and the controller is designed. Vibration control experiments verify the effectiveness of the controller, and the results indicate that vibrations in pitch and yaw directions are attenuated apparently. The spectrum power is reduced over 14.8 dB/Hz, which prove that the multidimensional identification and active vibration control system has the capability to decline vibration from different directions.

Active vibration control is the most effective method for stochastic multidimensional vibration in wind tunnel tests, in which vibration monitoring is the core foundation. Vibrations are induced by the disturbances of several complex air flow instabilities under extreme test conditions with high attack angles. Here, a decoupled unified observation method is proposed in order to fully monitor stochastic multidimensional vibration. First, stochastic multidimensional vibration is explained using the Cartesian coordinate system. Then, the multidimensional vibration decoupling of the pitch plane and the yaw plane is realized according to the proposed decoupling design principle of the long cantilever sting. A unified observation method is presented, based on inertial force theory, to observe multidimensional vibration due to acceleration in each decoupling plane. Verification experiments were conducted in lab and a transonic wind tunnel, using an established real-time monitoring system. The results of lab experiments indicate that, in the frequency region of 0–120 Hz, three vibration modes of a selected stochastic vibration can be decoupled and observed through the vibration components in pitch plane and yaw plane. In addition, wind tunnel tests were carried out according to the working conditions (α = −4~10° with γ = 45°) at Ma = 0.6 and Ma = 0.7, respectively. The results show that six vibration modes of two selected stochastic vibrations can be decoupled and observed through the vibration components in pitch plane and yaw plane. The experimental results prove that stochastic vibration can be fully monitored in multiple dimensions through the vibration components in pitch plane and yaw plane using the proposed decoupled unified observation method. Therefore, these results lay the foundation for active vibration control.

Abstract In most structures, fatigue critical areas are associated with regions of high stresses. Passive stiffening of structures usually displaces these high stress regions. Thus, for most applications, active vibration control is preferred. However, the question of whether an active vibration control scheme involving a set of actuators will reduce stresses in the whole structure or create high stress areas in the vicinity of the actuators arises. In this paper, the stresses induced by an active vibration control system based on the use of an offset piezoceramic stack actuator with acceleration feedback control are investigated. Using a modal analysis of the actuator acting on a cantilever beam, a low frequency approximation of the actuator is developed in the form of a spring and two driving forces. Based on this approximation, a 3-D finite element simulation of the closed loop active vibration control system is developed and the closed loop stresses are studied.

With the improvement of the performance of optical equipment carried by on-orbit spacecraft, the requirements of vibration isolation are increasing. Passive isolation platforms are widely used, but the ability to suppress the low-frequency deterministic vibration disturbance is limited, especially near the system’s natural frequency. Therefore, an active vibration control strategy is proposed to improve passive isolation performance. In this paper, a Youla parameterized adaptive active vibration control system is introduced to improve the isolation performance of a piezo-actuated active–passive isolation structure. A linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) central controller is first designed to shape the band-limited local loop of the closed-loop system. Then, the central controller is augmented into a Youla parameterized adaptive regulator with the recursive least square adaptive algorithm, and the Youla parameters (Q parameters) can be adjusted online to the desired value to suppress the unknown and time-varying multifrequency deterministic vibration disturbance. In the experiment, the residual vibration with respect to the combination of multiple frequencies is effectively suppressed by more than 20 dB on average, and a quick response time of less than 0.3 s is achieved when the deterministic residual vibration changes suddenly over time. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed adaptive active vibration control system can effectively suppress the low-frequency deterministic residual vibration.

Abstract In this paper we present an experimental investigation of active vibration control of a scaled bridge tower model under artificial wind excitation. The control scheme is designed on the basis of a reduced order model of the flexible structures using the LQ control theory, with a collocation of four laser displacement sensors and two hybrid electro-magnetic actuators. The experimental results in the wind tunnel show that both the bending and the twisting vibrations covering the first five modes of the structure are controlled well.

Vibration control strategies strive to reduce the effect of harmful vibrations such as machining chatter. In general, these strategies are classified as passive or active. While passive vibration control techniques are generally less complex, there is a limit to their effectiveness. Active vibration control strategies, which work by providing an additional energy supply to vibration systems, on the other hand, require more complex algorithms but can be very effective. In this work, a novel artificial neural network-based active vibration control system has been developed. The developed system can detect the sinusoidal vibration component with the highest power and suppress it in one control cycle, and in subsequent cycles, sinusoidal signals with the next highest power will be suppressed. With artificial neural networks trained to cover enough frequency and amplitude ranges, most of the original vibration can be suppressed. The efficiency of the proposed methodology has been verified experimentally in the vibration control of a cantilever beam. Artificial neural networks can be trained automatically for updated time delays in the system when necessary. Experimental results show that the developed active vibration control system is real time, adaptable, robust, effective and easy to be implemented. Finally, an experimental setup of chatter suppression for a lathe has been successfully implemented, and the successful techniques used in the previous artificial neural network-based active vibration control system have been utilized for active chatter suppression in turning.
