A modal analysis (MA) was preconsidered to determine a novel active vibration control (AVC) structure of multistage gear transmission system (MGTS) and an appropriate actuating position for the piezoelectric actuator (PZT); the results of the calculating method and the finite element method (FEM) were compared to validate the reliability of MA. The controllers based on different control algorithms were designed to drive the PZTs to output the control force for suppressing the host structure vibrations. To analyze the feasibility of the applied control schemes and discuss the control effects dominated by the different control algorithms, a series of active vibration control numerical simulations were studied. The cosimulation results validate the practicability of the proposed control schemes and provide a forcible guidance for the further experimental works.

Novel semi-active vibration controllers are developed in this study for magnetorheological (MR) fluid-based vibration control systems, including: (1) a band-pass frequency shaped semi-active control algorithm, (2) a narrow-band frequency shaped semi-active control algorithm. These semi-active vibration control algorithms designed without resorting to the implementation of an active vibration control algorithms upon which is superposed the energy dissipation constraint. These new Frequency Shaped Semi-active Control (FSSC) algorithms require neither an accurate damper (or actuator) model, nor system identification of damper model parameters for determining control current input. In the design procedure for the FSSC algorithms, the semi-active MR damper is not treated as an active force producing actuator, but rather is treated in the design process as a semi-active dissipative device. The control signal from the FSSC algorithms is a control current, and not a control force as is typically done for active controllers. In this study, two FSSC algorithms are formulated and performance of each is assessed via simulation. Performance of the FSSC vibration controllers is evaluated using a single-degree-of-freedom (DOF) MR fluid-based engine mount system. To better understand the control characteristics and advantages of the two FSSC algorithms, the vibration mitigation performance of a semi-active skyhook control algorithm, which is the classical semi-active controller used in base excitation problems, is compared to the two FSSC algorithms.

Abstract In order to realize living comfort of tall buildings by reducing the vibration of higher floors by strong winds, this paper proposes a new method of vibration control for flexible structures with a large scale. The higher a tall building the lower its natural frequency. Since obtaining sufficient force to control the lower frequency vibrations of tall buildings is a difficult task, controlling the vibration of ultra-tall buildings using active dynamic absorbers is nearly impossible. This problem can be overcome by placing actuators between a pair of two or three ultra-tall buildings and using the vibrational force of each building to offset the vibrational movement of its paired mate. Therefore, it is able to obtain enough control force under the low frequency when the proposed method is used. In this paper, a reduced-order model expressed by 2DOF system under taking into consideration for preventing spillover instability is applied to control each flexible structure. The LQ control theory is applied to the design of such a control system. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated theoretically as well as experimentally.

Gear transmission system is closely related to the consumer electronics products, factory automation industry, science and technology toys, medical equipment, electric hand tools, home appliances and the low-speed high torque applications of automotive industry. In the past, the almost manufacturers produced the metal gear of transmission system mostly by machining method. The gear machining tools of relative processing are mired in difficulties when the gear was miniaturized. In terms of the way of micro forging to produce the gear transmission components, not only a high accuracy and production rate being much times of gear machining, which achieves a significant competitive advantage. This study aims to conduct a research for a mini internal gear forging formability. For this purpose, the finite element method was used to analyze the mini internal gear forging process based on a die set of involute gear profile model. From the simulation results, the characteristic of flowing field of material filled into the gear mold and the induced strain and stress distribution were observed. All findings can be significantly provided to develop the manufacturing process of mini gear forging.

Active vibration control of an axially moving string using space feedforward and feedback controllers is presented. Closed-form results for the transverse response of both the uncontrolled and controlled string are given in the s domain. The space feedforward controller is established by employing the idea of wave cancellation. The proposed control law indicates that vibration in the region downstream of the control force can be cancelled. With the space feedforward control, the mode shapes of the axially moving string are changed such that the free response tends to zero in the downstream region. An interesting physical interpretation is that the control force acts effectively as a holder (active support) which limits the vibration of the string to the upstream region and eliminates any vibration in the downstream region. Simulation results show that the response of the string to both sinusoidal and random excitations is suppressed by applying the space feedforward control. The feedback controller is introduced to attenuate the response of the string due to undesired disturbances in the downstream.

Theory and simulation results have demonstrated that four, variable speed flywheels could potentially provide the energy storage and attitude control functions of existing batteries and control moment gyros on a satellite. Past modeling and control algorithms were based on the assumption of rigidity in the flywheel’s bearings and the satellite structure. This paper provides simulation results and theory, which eliminates this assumption utilizing control algorithms for active vibration control (AVC), flywheel shaft levitation, and integrated power transfer and attitude control (IPAC), that are effective even with low stiffness active magnetic bearings (AMBs) and flexible satellite appendages. The flywheel AVC and levitation tasks are provided by a multiple input–multiple output control law that enhances stability by reducing the dependence of the forward and backward gyroscopic poles with changes in flywheel speed. The control law is shown to be effective even for (1) large polar to transverse inertia ratios, which increases the stored energy density while causing the poles to become more speed dependent, and for (2) low bandwidth controllers shaped to suppress high frequency noise. Passive vibration dampers are designed to reduce the vibrations of flexible appendages of the satellite. Notch, low-pass, and bandpass filters are implemented in the AMB system to reduce and cancel high frequency, dynamic bearing forces and motor torques due to flywheel mass imbalance. Successful IPAC simulation results are presented with a 12% initial attitude error, large polar to transverse inertia ratio (IP∕IT), structural flexibility, and unbalance mass disturbance.

Abstract Previous research by the authors concentrated on using piezoelectric actuators for active vibration control (AVC) of rotating machinery. The current work extends this by positioning the piezoactuator remotely from the controlled structure and transmitting the control force via a hydraulic line and two pistons. Liquid plastic is employed as a transmission “fluid” to obtain a high bulk modulus and low leakage. The paper presents results for bulk moduli measurement, and bench and rig tests for the entire actuator system. These results show the high effectiveness of the hybrid actuator for controlling vibrations on a laboratory rotor test rig.
