Overall Performance

Vibration isolation tables find application in diverse production and research environments. The structure of a table is such that a designer is forced to compromise among design metrics such as transmissibility, force-disturbance rejection, and controller effort. As both structural and controller parameters impact these design metrics, we chose to perform simultaneous control-structure integrated design (CSID) to optimize the overall performance. We employed a new model that enhances physical insight and used physical programming as the optimization framework. We explored several design scenarios and effectively uncovered the appropriate compromises among the competing objectives. The results highlight the utility of the new model in this design context and the usefulness of physical programming in performing simultaneous CSID.
