AbstractIn the paper, a theoretical analysis regarding foundation forces caused by dynamic air gap torques of converter-driven induction motors, influenced by active vibration control, is shown. Based on a plane model, where actuators are placed between the motor feet and steel frame foundation and where the vertical motor feet accelerations are controlled, a mathematical description in the time domain, Laplace domain, and Fourier domain is presented, as well as a block diagram for numerical simulation. A numerical example is shown, where a 2-pole induction motor (2 MW) is analyzed for different cases—motor directly mounted on a steel frame foundation (case 1), actuators between motor feet and foundation, operating passively (case 2) and actively (case 3). It could be shown, that with the presented active vibration control concept the foundation forces due to dynamic air gap torques can be clearly reduced.

The main purpose of this study is to prepare mathematical model for active vibration control of a structure. This paper presents the numerical and experimental modal analysis of aluminum cantilever beam in order to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the structure. The results will be used for active vibration control of structure’s experimental setup. Experimental natural frequencies are obtained and compared to verify the proposed numerical model by using modal analysis results. MATLAB System Identification Toolbox and ANSYS harmonic response function are used together to estimate beam’s equations of motion which include its amplitude, frequency and phase angle values. Moreover, the mathematical model of beam is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink software to determine the dynamic behavior of the proposed system. Furthermore, another prediction model approach with multiple input and single output is used to find the realistic behavior of beam via an adaptive neural-network-based fuzzy logic inference system, in addition, impulse responses of the proposed models are compared and the control block diagram for active vibration control is implemented. As a first iteration, PID type controller is designed to suppress vibrations against the disturbance input. The results of modal analysis, the prediction models, controlled and uncontrolled system responses are presented in graphics and tables for obtaining a sample numerical active vibration control.

Abstract In recent years, with the development of sensor technologies, communication platforms, cyber physical systems, storage technologies, internet applications and controller infrastructures, the way has been opened to produce competitive products with high quality and low cost. In turning, which is one of the important processes of machining, chatter vibrations are among the biggest problems affecting product quality, productivity and cost. There are many techniques proposed to reduce chatter vibrations for which the exact cause cannot be determined. In this study, an active vibration control based on Sliding Mode Control (SMC) has been implemented in order to reduce and eliminate chatter vibration, which is undesirable for the turning process. In this context, three-axis acceleration data were collected from the cutting tool during the turning of Ti6Al4V. Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filtering, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis and integral process were carried out in order to use the raw acceleration data collected over the system in control. The system was modeled mathematically and an active control block diagram was created. It was observed that chattering decreased significantly after the application of active vibration control. The surface quality formed by the amplitude of the graph obtained after active control has been compared and verified with the data obtained from the actual manufacturing result.

FEM/BEM is adopted to model the interaction between the fluid and structures. In the modeling, modal truncation and inertial coupling are applied to sufficiently reduce the coupled model order. This approach is adopted for the purpose of constructing a modal model in the time domain. Active vibration control is realized with piezoelectric actuators and an adaptive method. In the control, the summation of vibration responses is used as the control error since the integral of acceleration on the plate surface is approximately proportional to the far field sound pressure. A rigidly baffled plate connected with a mass through one piezoelectric actuator is simulated at first. In the experiment, the plate is excited by a rotating eccentric mass and controlled with four piezoelectric actuators. The results have shown that active vibration control with the piezoelectric actuators can lead to a noticeable attenuation in sound pressure.

The present contribution deals with concepts for active vibration control of a thin double-curved shell structure. The structure, Stuttgart SmartShell, is located at the University of Stuttgart. It is made of softwood and is equipped with strain gages to determine the state of static and dynamic loading. Furthermore a force input is provided at the supports of the structure using hydraulic cylinders. Here a model-based two-degree-of-freedom control concept for vibration damping is presented which is based on a dynamical model derived from Finite Element simulations. The control strategy uses modal decoupling of the system states to enable the manipulation and damping of single eigenmodes. An optimal control strategy is chosen to dampen oscillations as quickly as possible while considering limitations on the force input and peak stresses. The proposed control algorithms are applied to the shell structure under consideration and their applicability is demonstrated by simulation and experimental results.

A single piezoelectric patch can be used as both a sensor and an actuator by means of the self-sensing piezoelectric actuator, and the function of self-sensing shows several advantages in many application fields. However, some problems exist in practical application. First, a capacitance bridge circuit is set up to realize the function of self-sensing, but the precise matching of the capacitance of the bridge circuit is hard to obtain due to the standardization of electric components and variations of environmental conditions. Second, a local strain is induced by the self-sensing actuator that is not related to the global vibration of the structure, which would affect the performance of applications, especially in active vibration control. The above problems can be tackled by the feedforward compensation method that is proposed in this paper. A configured piezoelectric self-sensing circuit is improved by a feedforward compensation tunnel, and a gain of compensation voltage is adjusted by the time domain and frequency domain’s steepest descent algorithms to alleviate the capacitance mismatching and local strain problems. The effectiveness of the method is verified in the experiment of the active vibration control in a wind tunnel, and the control performance of compensated self-sensing actuation is compared to the performance with capacitance mismatching and local strain. It is found that the above problems have negative effects on the stability and performance of the vibration control and can be significantly eliminated by the proposed method.
