In order to improve the vibration responses of rotor system, this paper presents an active vibration control technique for a rotor-bearing-actuator system with the use of robust eigenvalue placement method. By analyzing the characteristics of the piezoelectric stack actuator, bearing and rotor, a rotor-bearing-actuator system is modeled. Based on this dynamical model, a reduced-order technique is used to establish the state equation in the modal space. A robust eigenvalue placement method, which can enhance the robustness of system to model error and uncertain factors by optimizing the close-loop eigenmatrix with a small condition number, is proposed to carry out the active vibration control for system. The good results indicate that the eigenvalue can be placed to precise position, and the displacement responses get effectively suppressed with the proposed method. Meanwhile, the optimized close-loop eigenmatrix can possess a small condition number, which means the system has achieved excellent robustness.

Abstract This paper presents a numerical study in which active and hybrid vibration confinement is compared with a conventional active vibration control method. Vibration confinement is a vibration control technique that is based on reshaping structural modes to produce “quiet areas” in a structure as opposed to adding damping as in conventional active or passive methods. In this paper, active and hybrid confinement is achieved in a flexible beam with two pairs of piezoelectric actuators and sensors and with two vibration absorbers. For comparison purposes, active damping is achieved also with two pairs of piezoelectric actuators and sensors using direct velocity feedback. The results show that both approaches are effective in controlling vibrations in the targeted area of the beam, with direct velocity feedback being slightly more cost effective in terms of required power. When combined with passive confinement, however, each method is improved with a significant reduction in required power.

Hybrid Actuator

An integrated, compact piezohydraulic actuator system for active vibration control was designed and developed with a primary application for gas turbine aircraft engines. Copper tube was chosen as the transmission line material for ease of assembly. Liquid plastic, which meets incompressibility and low-viscosity requirements, was adjusted to provide optimal actuator performance. Variants of the liquid plastic have been prepared with desired properties between −40°F and 400°F. The effectiveness of this hybrid actuator for active vibration control (AVC) was demonstrated for suppressing critical speed vibration through two critical speeds for various levels of intentionally placed imbalance. A high-accuracy closed-loop simulation, which combines both finite element and state space methods, was applied for the closed-loop unbalance response simulation with/without AVC. Good correlation between the simulation and test results was achieved.

Active vibration control is a widely implemented method for helicopter vibration control. Due to the significant progress in the microelectronics, this technique outperforms the traditional passive control technique due to the weight penalty and lack of adaptability for the changing flight conditions. In this paper, an optimal controller is designed to attenuate the helicopter rotor blade vibration. The mathematical model of the triply coupled vibration of the rotating cantilever beam is used to develop the state-space model of an isolated rotor blade. The required natural frequencies are determined by the modified Galerkin method and only the principal aerodynamic forces acting on the structure are considered. Linear quadratic regulator is designed to achieve the vibration reduction at the optimum level and the controller is tuned for the hovering and forward flight.

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.
