A numerical study on the active control of a machine suspension system supported on a cylindrical shell aiming to reduce the sound radiation is presented in this paper. In this system, a rigid-body machine is supported on a simply-supported elastic cylindrical shell through four active isolators. A theoretical model is employed and four types of active control strategies including kinetic energy minimization strategy, power flow minimization strategy, squared acceleration minimization strategy and acoustic power minimization strategy are considered, with corresponding active control force obtained by linear quadratic optimal method. Numerical simulations are conducted and detailed results were presented. Active control performance under these four control strategies is compared and analyzed in terms of radiated sound power, and the effect of the number of active actuators is discussed by numerical analysis. The results show that acoustic power minimization strategy has the best performance to reduce the sound power radiated from supporting shell in general. Through numerical simulations, some comprehensive design principles of active control system are discussed at the end.

Vibration and acoustic radiation of circular cylindrical shells are hot topics in the structural engineering field. However for a long period, this sort of problems is only limit to classical homogeneous boundary conditions. In this paper, the vibration of a circular cylindrical shell with elastic boundary supports is studied using modified Fourier series method, and the far-field pressure for a baffled shell is calculated by Helmholtz integral equation. Active control of vibration and acoustic radiation are carried out by minimizing structural kinetic energy and radiated acoustic power respectively. The influence of boundary conditions on the active control is investigated throughout several numerical examples. It is shown that the active control of vibration and acoustic for an elastically restrained shell can exhibit unexpected and complicated behaviors.

Active Damper

With the new advancement in the vibration control strategies and controllable actuator manufacturing, the semi-active actuators (dampers) are finding their way as an essential part of vibration isolators, particularly in vehicle suspension systems. The currently available semi-active damper technologies can be divided into two main groups. The first uses controllable electromagnetic valves. The second uses magnetorheological (MR) fluid to control the damping characteristics of the system. Despite different semi-active control methods and the type of actuators used, one important practical aspect of all hydro-mechanical computer controlled systems is the time response (delay). The longest time response (delay) is usually introduced by the actuator (in this case, controllable actuator) in the system. This paper investigates the effect of time response in an on-off controlled suspension system using semi-active dampers. Numerical simulations and analytical techniques are deployed to address the issue. The performance of the system due to the time response is then analyzed and discussed. Specifically, the effect of the time response on the performance of a quarter car suspension system controlled by conventional on-off control strategies such as Skyhook and Rakheja-Sankar (R-S) is studied. Finally, the test results measuring time response in a newly developed semi-active actuator (namely, an external solenoid valve damper) is presented. Based on the real data and numerical simulations, the performance of a one degree of freedom quarter car system using this actuator is presented.

Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) with magneto-rheological elastomer isolators (MRE-TMD) is a novel control device for suppressing structural vibration caused by earthquakes. It is a nonlinear hybrid vibration absorber and the stiffness & damping can be controlled by changing the current of isolators’ coil. Using MRE-TMD as an adaptive frequency TMD to mitigate vibration and treating it as only a passive damper is the focus of most nowadays researches. In this paper, semi-active control theory is introduced to the MRE-TMD-structure system which means that the control force can be obtained through variable stiffness & damping technology, and MRE-TMD is a semi-active damper instead of a passive one. A control system sketch, as well as principles and control strategies of a semi-active MRE-TMD-structure system for vibration control is designed. An improved limited sliding (ILSL) algorithm based on linear quadratic optimal theory is also introduced. Numeric simulations of a five-story benchmark building model equipped with semi-active MRE-TMD subjected to several benchmark earthquake records are conducted to investigate the control performance of the proposed semi-active MRE-TMD. Control force characteristics of the structural MRE-TMD systems are also evaluated. The results indicate that semi-active MRE-TMD can provide control force to the system and it shows superior ability to suppress the structural vibrations of comparing to the passive MRE-TMD.

This paper focuses on building a controller for active suspension system of train cars in the case that the sprung mass and model error are uncertainty parameters. The sprung mass is always varied due to many reasons such as changing of the passengers and load or impacting of wind on the operating train while an unknown difference between the suspension model used for survey and the real suspension system also always exists. The controller is built based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), sliding mode control, uncertainty observer (NFSmUoC) and a magnetorheological damper (MRD) which can be seen as an actuator for applying active force. A nonlinear uncertainty observer (NUO), a sliding mode controller (SMC) together with an inverse model of the MRD are designed in order to calculate the current value by which the MRD creates the required active control force u( t). An ANFIS and measured MR-damper-dynamic-response data sets are used to identify the MRD as an inverse MRD model (ANFIS-I-MRD). Based on dynamic response of the suspension, firstly the active control force u( t) is calculated by NUO and SMC, in which the impact of the uncertainty load on the system is estimated by the NUO. The ANFIS-I-MRD is then used to estimate applied current for the MRD in order to create the calculated active control force to control vertical vibration status of the train cars. Simulation surveys are carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This research aims at the vibration control of vehicle seat suspension system. A three degree of freedom quarter vehicle model is used for semi-active control system in which a magnetorheological damper (MRD) is installed at the position between the vehicle body and the seat. A fully active linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control strategy is used to determine the optimized control force which is then matched by MRD to compute the semi-active control result. Computation result proves that semi-active control with MRD can alleviate the vehicle seat acceleration to improve ride comfort.

Structural Acoustic Control

In this paper, the radiation characteristics and active structural acoustic control of a submerged cylindrical shell at low frequencies are investigated. First, the coupled vibro-acoustic equations for a submerged finite cylindrical shell are solved by a modal decomposition method, and the radiation impedance is obtained by the fast Fourier transform. The modal shapes of the first ten acoustic radiation modes and the structure-dependent radiation modes are presented. The relationships between the vibration modes and the radiation modes as well as the contributions of the radiation modes to the radiated sound power are given at low frequencies. Finally, active structural acoustic control of a submerged finite cylindrical shell is investigated by considering the fluid-structure coupled interactions. The physical mechanism of the active control is discussed based on the relationship between the vibration and radiation modes. The results showed that, at low frequencies, only the first several radiation modes contributed to the sound power radiated from a submerged finite cylindrical shell excited by a radial point force. By determining the radiation modes that dominate the contribution to the radiated sound, the physical mechanism of the active control is explained, providing a potential tool to allow active control of the vibro-acoustic responses of submerged structures more effectively.
