Abstract This paper presents a novel reformulation of the standard active vibration control problem for large systems to take advantage of the natural dynamics of a particular type of actuator: the electrohydraulic actuator. The standard linear vibration control problem set-up is followed by details of the limitations to this standard approach for electrohydraulic systems. This root of the problems lies in the attempt to utilize the electrohydraulic actuation system to provide a particular force. Previous work (Alleyne & Liu, 1999) has shown the inherent limitations to force tracking for these systems. To circumvent the limitations, the problem is reformulated as a velocity tracking one, which lends itself naturally to the dynamics of electrohydraulic systems. Subsequently, a SISO controller can be readily designed for the velocity tracking problem using standard controller design tools. Although the controller design is relatively standard, experimental results are given which demonstrate the efficacy of the problem reformulation.

In this paper, a study on the active control of vibration for peripheral milling is presented. Different from the control for the vibrations of cutting tool or workpiece, in this effort, the relative vibration between the workpiece and tool is selected as the control target. To reduce the relative vibration, a two-axis active work-holding stage, which is droved by two piezo-actuators, is designed and the control system synthesis method is used to determine the control gain. By this method, the dynamical stage is considered as plant while the complicated cutting process is treated as disturbance. The cutting vibration control can be considered as a robust disturbance rejection problem (RDRP), and the controller design is based on robust servo-mechanism method. Without the requirement on the model of disturbance, this method simplifies the vibration control problem and only the knowledge of frequencies of disturbance is required. Numerical results indicate the implemented system works well in cutting vibration cancellation.

In this article, the effect of a sensor-debonding failure on the active vibration control of a smart composite plate is investigated numerically. A mathematical model of the smart structure with a partially debonded piezoelectric sensor is developed using an improved layerwise theory, a higher-order electric-potential field that serves as the displacement field, and the potential variation through the piezoelectric patches. A state-space form that is based on the reduced-order model is employed for the controller design. A control strategy with a constant gain and velocity feedback is used to assess the vibration-control characteristics of the controller in the presence of the sensor-debonding failure. The obtained results show that sensor-debonding failure reduces the sensor-output, control-input signal, and active damping in magnitude that successively degrades the vibration attenuation capability of the active vibration controller. The settling time and relative tip displacement of the controlled structure increase with the increasing length of partial debonding between the piezoelectric sensor and host structure. Furthermore, a damage-sensitive feature along with multidimensional scaling showed excellent results for the detection and quantification of sensor-debonding failure in the active vibration control of smart structures.

In recent years, many applications in precision engineering require a careful isolation of the instrument from the vibration sources by adopting active vibration isolation system to achieve a very low remaining vibration level, especially for the very low frequency under 10 Hz vibration signals. This paper presents a 3-PUPU dual parallel manipulator for both rough positioning and active vibration isolation in a wide-range workspace based on our previous research experiences in the systematical modeling and study of parallel robots. The manipulator is designed as a kind of macro/micro hybrid robot. Both the kinematics model for macro motion and dynamics model for micro motion are established by using stiffness equation and the Kane’s method, respectively. An active vibration control strategy is described by using the H2 method. Moreover, numerical simulations on the inverse solution for macro motion, workspace, and the active vibration control effects are performed at the end of this paper.

In this paper, a pre-stressed piezoelectric unimorph made by a new fabrication method in room temperature, and an active vibration isolation system using the pre-stressed unimorph actuators are introduced. The fabricated piezoelectric unimorph, called PUMPS (piezoelectric unimorph with mechanically pre-stressed substrate), is an actuator in which actuation level is enhanced by displacement amplification mechanism that converts piezoelectric extension and contraction to large bending/pumping motion without sacrificing the actuation force. Preliminary vibration tests were performed to check the performance of PUMPS as actuators for active vibration control in a lab environment. Two feedback control schemes, the positive position feedback (PPF) and negative velocity feedback (NVF), were applied for active vibration control. Using a smart vibration isolation system with improved load capacity obtained by stacking pre-stressed piezoelectric unimorph actuators, about 10dB vibration reduction of the system was achieved near the resonant frequency region. With the preliminary vibration test results showing promising performance of PUMPS actuator in active vibration control, an integrated active vibration isolation system composed of PUMPS actuators is developed. The developed system contains compact analogue circuits and a sensor for PUMPS actuation and control, and power is supplied by Li-Polymer battery which means the system is completely standalone and portable. In addition, an integrated jitter isolation demonstration system was developed to demonstrate the degrading effect of jitter and the effectiveness of the developed integrated active vibration isolation system in improving the performance of optical payloads. Comparison of image qualities taken before and after the operation of vibration control system indicates that effective suppression of vibration disturbances can be achieved using the developed vibration isolation system with PUMPS actuators.

A novel frequency-domain technique, having its roots in Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT), has been developed to design controllers for active vibration control (AVC). The advantages are a plant-based design according to performance specifications, and the ability to include structured uncertainties in the critical plant parameters like passive bearing stiffness or damping. In this paper, we describe the background theory of single-input, single-output (SISO) and multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) QFT design, followed by development of the theory adapted for AVC. Application examples are considered next, outlining the design method for both cases. Simulation results for the systems studied are presented showing the effectiveness of the technique in attenuating vibration.

This paper discusses the concept of a new methodology for active vibration control of flexible structures using consensus control of network systems. In the new approach, collocated actuation/sensingpatches communicate with one another through a network with certain directed topology. A virtual leader is assigned to enforce the vibration amplitude at the place of each agent to zero. Since the modal states of the system are not available for the vibration control task, individual optimal observers are designed for each agent first. After describing the controller and examining the stability of the system, controller performance is verified using a clamped-clamped thin aluminum beam. According to the obtained numerical results, the new control approach successfully suppresses the vibration amplitudes, while the consensus design ensures that all agents are synchronized during the performance.

A heuristic iterative learning control (ILC) design scheme is presented and is applied to the controller design of the active vibration control. A magnetostrictive material actuator is used as experimental equipment for active vibration control in this paper. The merit of the presented ILC scheme is that it is not necessary to build the mathematical model of the magnetostrictive actuator. The experimental result shows that the controller designed is efficient for active vibration control.
