General Method

Within robot systems the use of flexible links could solve many issues raised by their rigid counterparts. However, when these flexible links are integrated within systems which include moving parts their main issue lies in the vibrations experienced along their length due to disturbances. Much research effort has been made to solve this issue, with particular attention being paid to the application of piezoelectric patches as actuators within active vibration control (AVC). The study will consist of accurate models of a flexible link and two surface bonded piezoelectric patches, where the link and the piezoelectric patches will be modelled through the use of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory (EBT). The link will be subject to an initial displacement at its free end, and the resulting displacement of this end of the beam is to be controlled using a classic proportional-differential (PD) controller. The voltages to be applied across each of the actuators is to be controlled in accordance with the displacement of the free end of the beam, the actuators will then induce a strain upon the link opposing the movement of the tip. This research outlines this general method, obtains the best location of the piezoelectric patches and the control gains to be used, and proves that the method can be used to attenuate the vibrations experienced by a flexible link.

General Motion

An active vibration control experiment of planar 3-RRR flexible parallel robots is implemented in this paper. Considering the direct and inverse piezoelectric effect of PZT material, a general motion equation is established. A strain rate feedback controller is designed based on the established general motion equation. Four control schemes are designed in this experiment: three passive flexible links are controlled at the same time, only passive flexible link 1 is controlled, only passive flexible link 2 is controlled, and only passive flexible link 3 is controlled. The experimental results show that only one flexible link controlled scheme  suppresses elastic vibration and cannot suppress the elastic vibration of the other flexible links, whereas when three passive flexible links are controlled at the same time, they are able to effectively suppress the elastic vibration of all of the flexible links. In general, the experiment verifies that a strain rate feedback controller is able to effectively suppress the elastic vibration of the flexible links of plane 3-RRR flexible parallel robots.

Active Vibration

In this paper a novel concept for active vibration control of storage and retrieval machines is presented. The storage and retrieval machine is modeled based on the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory, yielding an infinite-dimensional model, and the assumed modes method in order to obtain a finite-dimensional model. The resulting model is of low order, a fourth-order model regarding the first and the second eigenfrequency describes the dynamics sufficiently. The model is verified on an experimental storage and retrieval machine. Several active vibration control strategies are studied, including trajectory planning approaches like higher-order trajectory planning, feedforward control approaches like trajectory filtering and input shaping, and feedback control approaches like state-feedback control. The strategies are evaluated by simulation and compared via performance measures.

Active Vibration

Active vibration control of a shaft bracket-plate coupled system is investigated. The vibration of the plate is controlled with electromagnetic vibration absorbers (EVAs), which are mounted around the feet of the shaft bracket to impede the transmission of vibration from the bracket apex to the plate. A dynamic model is established on the Timoshenko beam theory and the Kirchhoff thin plate theory to reveal the mechanism of vibration transmission. It is exhibited that all the induced forces and moments at the coupling points contribute much to the transverse responses of the plate. The feasibility of active control with the EVAs is evaluated numerically based on the controllability of the plate vibration. It is demonstrated that the two-point in-plane control is able to attenuate the plate vibration under the excitation of in-plane disturbance forces, while the multi-point control is effective in reducing the plate vibration regardless of the directions of disturbance forces. An experimental system is built to verify the performance of the two-point in-plane control. The results have shown that with the help of adaptive control, the two-point in-plane control is capable of suppressing the vibration of the foundation induced by the in-plane forces acting on the shaft bracket.

Active Vibration

This paper presents an experimental study on active vibration control of a moving 3-PRR parallel manipulator with three flexible intermediate links, with bonded lead zirconate titanate (PZT) actuators and sensors. Experimental modal tests are conducted to identify structural vibration mode shapes and natural frequencies used. These modal tests provide guidance to design the filter and determine the location of PZT transducers. A PZT actuator controller is developed based on strain rate feedback (SRF) control. A state-space model is formulated with the control input voltage applied to PZT actuators, and output generated from PZT sensors. Then, the design of an optimal active vibration controller is presented based on SRF for the parallel manipulator with flexible links with multiple bonded PZT transducers. Active vibration control experiments are conducted to demonstrate that the proposed active vibration control strategy is effective. Power spectral density (PSD) plots of vibrations illustrate that the structural vibration of flexible links is reduced effectively when the proposed vibration control strategy is employed.

Active Vibration

Unwanted vibrations are a common occurrence within structures and systems, and often pose a threat to their integrity or functionality. This research aims to seek a solution to attenuate the vibrations experienced within a link of a system using active vibration control with piezoelectric patches as actuators, whilst avoiding the use of large and expensive equipment which would contravene with the common objective of maintaining the smallest mass possible of the system. Previous research has employed large and expensive equipment as the controller, with sensors often only being able to measure the vibrations of the structure along one axis; this research aims to address these issues. The choice of utilizing the small, lightweight, and low-cost Raspberry Pi 3 combined with petite, mountable sensors and actuators was made based upon the greater practicality that the controller, sensors, and actuators exhibit, allowing for their use in a wide variety of applications. An analytical model of the structure was created based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and validated through the modal parameters and the frequency response obtained from a finite element model and experimental data. A controller was then designed and applied to the analytical model to attenuate the vibrations along the link, and then the same design was implemented within the Raspberry Pi 3, and experimental studies were carried out. The introduction and effectiveness of a purposeful time delay within the controller was explored within the experimental and analytical studies, with the intention of counteracting unfavorable results produced by the control system. The results of the experiment proved the control design to be effective for a range of frequencies that included the first natural frequency of the link, and validated the analytical model including the control design.

The One

This paper addresses the active vibration control and coupled vibration analysis of a planar parallel manipulator (PPM) with three flexible links. Multiple piezoelectric ceramic transducers are integrated with the flexible links to constitute the smart beam structures, and hence the vibration of the flexible link can be self-sensed and self-controlled. To prevent the spillover phenomena and improve the vibration control efficiency, the independent modal space control combined with an input shaper is developed to suppress both the structural and the residual vibration of the flexible links. The coupled vibration features between rigid and elastic motions and the interaction effects among three flexible links are theoretically analyzed based on the one-pass rigid-flexible dynamic models. Numerical simulation and experiment results show that the vibration of the three flexible links is coupled through the moving platform and the vibration suppression efficiency is getting improved with the number of controlled flexible links increased.
