Actuator Control

A Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluid damper is a semi-active device for vibration control of engineering structures subjected to dynamic loading. The characteristics of MR dampers vary under different current inputs to achieve optimized vibration control of structural systems. Experimental evaluation of MR dampers under different control laws is necessary before the device can be accepted by the practical design community. Real-time hybrid simulation provides an economical and efficient dynamic testing technique by accounting for the damper rate-dependency and the damper-structure interaction. A successful real-time hybrid simulation requires accurate actuator control to achieve reliable experiment results. A servo-hydraulic actuator usually introduces a time delay due to servo-hydraulic dynamics. The variable current inputs induced by semi-active control laws would pose additional challenges for actuator control by introducing variable delay in a real-time hybrid simulation. In this paper an adaptive compensation technique is experimentally evaluated for real-time hybrid simulation involving an MR damper under variable current inputs. Predefined band-limited white noise is used as the displacement command for the servo-hydraulic actuator and current command for the MR damper. The adaptive compensation scheme is demonstrated to achieve accurate actuator control and therefore shows great potential for real-time hybrid simulation of structural systems with semi-active energy dissipation devices.

Stability presents a critical issue for real-time hybrid simulation. Actuator delay might destabilize the real-time test without proper compensation. Previous research often assumed real-time hybrid simulation as a continuous-time system; however, it is more appropriately treated as a discrete-time system because of application of digital devices and integration algorithms. By using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii theory, this study explores the convoluted effect of integration algorithms and actuator delay on the stability of real-time hybrid simulation. Both theoretical and numerical analysis results demonstrate that (1) the direct integration algorithm is preferably used for real-time hybrid simulation because of its computational efficiency; (2) the stability analysis of real-time hybrid simulation highly depends on actuator delay models, and the actuator model that accounts for time-varying characteristic will lead to more conservative stability; and (3) the integration step is constrained by the algorithm and structural frequencies. Moreover, when the step is small, the stability of the discrete-time system will approach that of the corresponding continuous-time system. The study establishes a bridge between continuous- and discrete-time systems for stability analysis of real-time hybrid simulation.
