In this study, the suppression of wind-induced oscillations of a D-shaped prism mounted on a cantilever beam by means of a positive position feedback (PPF) controller is investigated. The assumed mode method is applied to determine the stiffness, mass and non-linear force matrixes of a second order ordinary differential equation system. The positive position feedback control by use of a sensor-actuator piezoelectric is implemented on the galloping system to suppress the mechanical oscillations. The results show that the PPF controller is a powerful method to decrease the galloping amplitude of the D-shaped prism. The numerical results are in a good agreement with experimental results.

Assumed Mode

The traditional approach of using free vibration modes in the assumed mode method often leads to an extremely slow convergence rate, especially when discete interactive forces are involved. By introducing a number of forced modes, significant improvements can be achieved. These forced modes are intrinsic to the structure and the spatial distribution of forces. The motion of the structure can be described exactly by these forced modes and a few free vibration modes provided that certain conditions are satisfied. The forced modes can be viewed as an extension of static modes. The development of a forced mode formulation is outlined and a numerical example is presented.

AbstractThis paper combines the nonlinear Udwadia-Kalaba control approach with the Assumed Mode Method to model flexible structures and derives an attitude controller for a spacecraft. The study case of this paper is a satellite with four flexible cantilever beams attached to a rigid central hub. Two main topics are covered in this paper. The first one is the formulation of the equation of motion and the second one is the nonlinear controller design. The combination of these two techniques is able to provide a controller that damps the vibration of a flexible structure while achieving the desired rigid-motion state.

The improved equations of motion for a friction-engaged brake system have been newly derived on the basis of the assumed mode method and frictional damping. The equations of motion with a finite element model were constructed by a set of vibration modes found from FE modal analysis on all system components. Consequently, the modal information of system components are combined with equations of motion derived from the analytical model. Numerical analysis showed the mode which was unstable in an undamped case became stable in a damped case.
