A Combination of Fuzzy Logic and Neural Network Algorithms for Active Vibration Control
The construction of a dynamic absorber incorporating active vibration control is described. The absorber is a 2 degree of freedom spring-lumped mass system sliding on a guide pillar, with two internal vibration disturbance sources. Both the main mass and the secondary absorber mass were acted on by direct current (d.c.) servo motors, respectively, to suppress the vibration amplitude. In this paper, a new control approach is proposed by combining fuzzy logic and neural network algorithms to control the multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) system. Firstly, the fuzzy logic controller was designed for controlling the main influence part of the MIMO system. Secondly, the coupling neural network controller was employed to take care of the coupling effect and refine the control performance of the MIMO system. The experimental results show that the control system effectively suppresses the vibration amplitude and with good position tracking accuracy.
