This paper shows a lumped modeling approach and a motion and vibration control method for a transportation system. The modeling approach is made on the premise that motion influences vibration, but that vibration doesn’t influence motion. To obtain well suppressed vibration and a robustness for the system, LQI control is adopted. It is shown that this theory has superior robustness for in motion and vibration control with variations of the parameters [1]. The control effectiveness is demonstrated through simulation experiments. The vibration modes that occur accordingly become flexible might cause a spillover instability problem. Thus, the purpose of the research is to control such vibration and motion using the modeling method presented by Seto, called the “reduced order physical modeling method” [2]. Computer simulation and control experiments are carried out and the effectiveness of the procedures presented is investigated.

Abstract This paper examines the vibration control of a flexible structure using a hybrid dynamic absorber. A new method for modeling flexible structures with distributed parameters using a reduced-order model with lumped parameters is specified. Both prevention of spillover and physical correspondence at the modeling points are taken into consideration. Due to restrictions of controller design it is necessary to employ reduced-order models of flexible structures when using LQ control theory to control vibration. By ignoring higher mode orders model reduction may invite vibration instability called spillover. In order to prevent spillover nodes of higher-order vibration modes are selected as modeling points. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated by applying vibration control to a flexible tower-like structure. In addition the robustness of the control system is tested by placing the sensors and absorbers at points different from those selected by the model.

This paper presents a new modeling method and a control system design procedure for a flexible rotor with many elastic modes using active magnetic bearings. The purpose of our research is to let the rotor rotate passing over the 1st and the 2nd critical speeds caused by flexible modes. To achieve this, it is necessary to control motion and vibration of the flexible rotor simultaneously. The new modeling method named as Extended Reduced Order Physical Model is presented to express its motion and vibration uniformly. By using transfer function of flexible rotor-Active Magnetic Bearings system, we designed a Local Jerk Feedback Control system and conducted stability discrimination with root locus. In order to evaluate this modeling and control method, levitation experimentation is conducted.

Multiple vibration modes of an engineering structure might be excited by earthquake ground motions. Multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) are widely used to control these multi-mode vibrations. However, in the commonly used MTMD system, the mass element in each tuned mass damper (TMD) is normally assumed to be the same. To improve the performance of MTMDs for seismic-induced vibration control, non-uniform MTMD masses are adopted in the present study to improve the mass utilization of TMD, and a location factor is proposed to determine the best location of each TMD in the MTMD system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through numerical study. The results show that the proposed method effectively reduces the seismic responses of the structure induced by multiple vibration modes.

A squeeze mode MR fluid damper used for rotor vibration control is designed and manufactured, and the unbalance response properties and control method of a single-disk flexible rotor system supported by the damper are studied experimentally. It is found from the study that the magnetic pull force can decrease both the first critical speed and the critical amplitude; the oil film reaction force can decrease the amplitude at the undamped critical speeds, but increase the amplitude in a speed range between two undamped critical speeds. For the rotor system supported by a journal bearing and an MR fluid damper, it is possible to appear oil film instability as the increasing of the control current. The damper may have the best effect to make the vibration minimize within the range of all working speed by using on-off control method. The research show that the squeeze mode MR fluid damper has the advantages such as simple structure, clearly effectiveness, quick response, etc., and this kind of damper has a promising potential future in vibration control of flexible rotor systems.

The nuclear power crane is required to have high security and stability, as its lifting mechanism and span structure are needed to perform predominantly in serious working conditions. A new vibration analysis and control method on the nuclear power crane is proposed to improve its stability, which is based on magneto rheological fluid damper (MRFD) and switch algorithm control strategy. The simulation is completed through dynamic model and control model. The experiment is accomplished in a serving crane. Both numerical simulated and experimental results show that the vibration of nuclear power crane is suppressed significantly with MRFD. It is proved that MRFD should be taken into consideration in the vibration control of nuclear power crane.

This paper proposed a new modeling technique and control system design of a flexible rotor using active magnetic bearings (AMB) for motion and vibration control. The purpose of the research was to pass through a critical speed and achieve high-speed rotation. To achieve this, it is necessary to control both vibration and motion. Even though reduced order physical model [1] that we used before is available technique in expressing vibration, this technique cannot express motion. Thus we propose an extended reduced order physical model [2] that can simultaneously express motion and vibration. Further, by using the model we apply the design of a new controller that combined proportional integral derivative (PID) with linear quadratic (LQ) control to a flexible rotor. The procedure we propose is verified by simulations as being effective for a flexible rotor.
