A novel drive joint based on the principle of interaction between electromagnet and permanent magnet is introduced, which may be used in active vibration control. The toque model and the dynamic model of the system are built. The toque model is verified by the results of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Finally, the dynamic simulation based on the model is carried out.

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.

The numerical simulation and experimental method are adopted to analyze the piezoelectric vibration control of the simplified autobody beam structure. The autobody beam structure is simplified as a beam fixed at both ends. The finite element model of beam structure with piezoelectric patches is established. The static analysis and modal analysis is conducted by the piezoelectric analysis of the finite element analysis software. The proportional and proportional-derivative control methods are studied in the piezoelectric active vibration control analysis for the simplified beam structure. The experimental system is established to obtain the vibration control effectiveness of the beam structure. The experimental results show that the type of two ends patching beam has more effective vibration control ability than the central patched beam.
