This paper proposes a new bed stage for patients in ambulance vehicle in order to improve ride quality in term of vibration control. The vibration of patient compartment in ambulance can cause a secondary damage to a patient and a difficulty for a doctor to perform emergency care. The bed stage is to solve vertical, rolling, and pitching vibration in patient compartment of ambulance. Four MR (magneto-rheological) dampers are equipped for vibration isolation of the stage. Firstly, a mathematical model of stage is derived followed by the measurement of vibration level of patient compartment of real ambulance vehicle. Then, the design parameters of bed stage is undertaken via computer simulation. Skyhook, PID and LQR controllers are used for vibration control and their control performances are compared.

Effective vibration control technology for stay cables is extremely critical to safe operations of cable-stayed bridges. For super-long cables, passive linear damper cannot provide sufficient damping since it can be only optimum for a given mode of cable, while a long cable may vibrate with several modes. This paper focuses on multi-mode vibration control of stay cables with passive magnetorheological (MR) dampers. Firstly, a 21.6m-long model cable was designed and established in the laboratory.Then, control performance of the cable with a passive MR damper was tested. The test results show that modal damping ratios of the cable in the first four modes can be improved significantly with the MR damper. It is further demonstrated that optimal tuned passively operated MR damper can outperform the passive viscous damper.

A vibration control system with an air spring as the actuator and proportional electropneumatic control has been developed at the Institute of Materials and Machine Mechanics, Bratislava. As the electropneumatic transducer, a proportional pressure control valve is used in contrast to the previously used proportional flow control valve. The vibration control is facilitated by a combination of a ‘sky hook’ feedback loop and a feedforward loop working on the so-called ‘sky cloud’ principle, compensating base vertical vibration. Good agreement between simulation results and measurement on a laboratory dummy system was observed. The dummy system was also subjected to narrow-band random excitation, prescribed for standardized laboratory tests of driver's seats. The improvement in driver's seat vibration control properties owing to the feedforward vibration compensation is 2.5-fold, i.e. by 8 dB in comparison with ‘sky hook’ feedback damping only. The system could be used for vibration control in automotive applications, especially for vehicles with an unsprung chassis (earth-moving machines, wheeled tractors) and in the heavy vehicles sector.
