Control Approach

A new control design framework for vibration control, the cooperative control of active and semiactive control, is proposed in the paper. In the cooperative control, a structural system having both of an actuator and a semiactive control device, for example, MR damper and so forth, is defined as the control object. In the proposed control approach, the higher control performance is aimed by the cooperative control between the active control with the actuator and the semiactive control with the semiactive control device. A design method to determine the active control input and the command signal to drive the semiactive control device based on the one-step prediction of the control output is proposed. A simulation example of a control system design for a benchmark building is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed control framework.

Cost Efficient

In high-speed fluid dynamics, base pressure controls find many engineering applications, such as in the automobile and defense industries. Several studies have been reported on flow control with sudden expansion duct. Passive control was found to be more beneficial in the last four decades and is used in devices such as cavities, ribs, aerospikes, etc., but these need additional control mechanics and objects to control the flow. Therefore, in the last two decades, the active control method has been used via a microjet controller at the base region of the suddenly expanded duct of the convergent–divergent (CD) nozzle to control the flow, which was found to be a cost-efficient and energy-saving method. Hence, in this paper, a systemic literature review is conducted to investigate the research gap by reviewing the exhaustive work on the active control of high-speed aerodynamic flows from the nozzle as the major focus. Additionally, a basic idea about the nozzle and its configuration is discussed, and the passive control method for the control of flow, jet and noise are represented in order to investigate the existing contributions in supersonic speed applications. A critical review of the last two decades considering the challenges and limitations in this field is expressed. As a contribution, some major and minor gaps are introduced, and we plot the research trends in this field. As a result, this review can serve as guidance and an opportunity for scholars who want to use an active control approach via microjets for supersonic flow problems.

Lyapunov Approach

We address a simultaneous optimal design problem of a semi-active control law and design parameters in a vibration control device for civil structures. The Vibration Control Device (VCD) that is being developed by authors is used as the semi-active control device in the present paper. The VCD is composed of a mechanism of a ball screw with a flywheel for the inertial resistance force and an electric motor with an electric circuit for the damping resistance force. A new bang-bang type semi-active control law referred to as Inverse Lyapunov Approach is proposed as the semi-active control law. In the Inverse Lyapunov Approach the Lyapunov function is searched so that performance measures in structural vibration control are optimized in the premise of the bang-bang type semi-active control based on the Lyapunov function. The design parameters to determine the Lyapunov function and the design parameters of the VCD are optimized for the good performance of the semi-active control system. The Genetic Algorithm is employed for the optimal design.

Optimal Control Approach

The paper proposes a nonlinear optimal control approach for the model of the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. This aerial drone receives as control input a directed thrust, as well as forces acting on its wing tips. The latter forces are not perpendicular to the body axis of the drone but are tilted by a small angle. The dynamic model of the VTOL undergoes approximate linearization with the use of Taylor series expansion around a temporary operating point which is recomputed at each iteration of the control method. For the approximately linearized model, an H-infinity feedback controller is designed. The linearization procedure relies on the computation of the Jacobian matrices of the state-space model of the VTOL aircraft. The proposed control method stands for the solution of the optimal control problem for the nonlinear and multivariable dynamics of the aerial drone, under model uncertainties and external perturbations. For the computation of the controller’s feedback gains, an algebraic Riccati equation is solved at each time-step of the control method. The new nonlinear optimal control approach achieves fast and accurate tracking for all state variables of the VTOL aircraft, under moderate variations of the control inputs. The stability properties of the control scheme are proven through Lyapunov analysis.

This paper presents a vibration control method for multiple high-rise buildings against large earthquake motion. This method is called as “Connected Control Method (CCM)” and has the merit of obtaining enough control force to protect high-rise buildings from large earthquakes using passive and semiactive devices. In this paper, first a modeling approach for four scaled building structures is shown and effectiveness of the CCM using LQ control approach for them is demonstrated by seismic response control results. Next, in order to reduce the supplied power, a semi-active control approach in place of active control is applied for the CCM. For this purpose, a new MR damper is developed and designed to have a close performance with results of the LQ control. This performance is verified by measured frequency responses.

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) might cause new noise vibration and harshness (NVH) problems, due to their complex powertrain systems. Therefore, in this paper, a new longitudinal dynamic simulation model of a series-parallel hybrid electric bus with an active torsional vibration control module is proposed. First, the schematic diagrams of the simulation model architecture and the active control strategy are given, and the dynamic models of the main components are introduced. Second, taking advantage of the characteristics of hybrid systems, a method of determining the key dynamic parameters by a bench test is proposed. Finally, in a typical bus-driving cycle for Chinese urban conditions, time domain and frequency domain processing methods are used to analyze vehicle body jerk, fluctuation of rotational speed, and torsional angle of the key components. The results show that the active control method can greatly improve the system’s torsional vibration performance when switching modes and at resonance.

This paper demonstrates an investigation about the active control of sound radiation in the enclosure cavity consists of two flexible plates. One of the flexible plates is driven by a point force to generate the primary sound field in the cavity, and using some point forces which are located at different locations on the receiving plate to suppressing the panel vibration and then to minimum the cavity sound pressure level (SPL); meanwhile some actuators are located on the other panel surfaces to reduce the sound pressure level at some frequencies that can’t be well reduced by only effect on one panel. The better result shows the possibility of applying distributed cooperative control method to the structural-acoustic coupled system.

The issue of distributed cooperative path tracking control for multi-vessel in the presence of ocean currents has addressed in this article. The proposed cooperative control approach is achieved by designing the guidance system and the control system. In order to achieve the multi-vessel’s coordination with the desired spatial formation, the guidance system is designed based on the strategy of virtual leader for supplying the desire path and relevant parameters for each vessel. In addition, a robust cooperative path tracking controller is designed to reject the disturbance of unknown ocean currents using the backstepping method and the adaptive control technology. The synchronization between all the vessels is achieved by defining same path parameter and same speed along the path through the guidance system. Global asymptotic stability is guaranteed by Lyapunov-based technique for the whole control system. The effectiveness of the proposed cooperative path tracking control method is demonstrated by numerical simulation.

This paper proposes the application of a proportional controller to active vibration control incorporated with a passive vibration isolator to suppress its resonant oscillation at its natural frequency. Vibration acceleration acquired from an accelerometer is fed to the controller as a feedback signal. The processed signal from the controller is transmitted to the voice coil actuator in order to control the vibration. Firstly, based on the theoretical equations which govern the vibrational system, the physical mechanism of active control in the total system is studied. Then, vibration on a stiff foundation and passive isolator is measured in order to understand the efficiency of the traditional vibration control method. Finally, an experiment on active vibration control is performed to study the suppression efficiency of the oscillation of the passive vibration isolator. The experiment results show that 99% of the vibration energy can be cancelled by active control.
