A smart exciter coupled to cabin panels can be used as a new type of loudspeaker for emergency announcements in the aircraft cabin. The same device can also be used as a semi-active vibration control system which is effective in reducing the amplitude of structural vibration. The objective of this paper is to investigate the potential of vibration reduction using a smart exciter in combination with an optimized resistive-inductive shunt circuit, which serves as an absorbing network. First, the vibration reduction effect has been analyzed numerically using a simulation framework realized with COMSOL and MATLAB/Simulink. In a second step, the reduction effect of the smart exciter together with a resistive-inductive shunt circuit, which is produced by the Center of Applied Aeronautical Research (Zentrum für Angewandte Luftfahrtforschung GmbH, Hamburg, Germany), has been investigated experimentally. The results presented here prove that the smart exciter together with a resistive-inductive shunt can be highly effective in reducing structural vibrations.

Abstract In this paper we present an experimental investigation of active vibration control of a scaled bridge tower model under artificial wind excitation. The control scheme is designed on the basis of a reduced order model of the flexible structures using the LQ control theory, with a collocation of four laser displacement sensors and two hybrid electro-magnetic actuators. The experimental results in the wind tunnel show that both the bending and the twisting vibrations covering the first five modes of the structure are controlled well.

This paper addresses the control of structural vibrations of a 3-PRR parallel manipulator with three flexible intermediate links, bonded with multiple lead zirconate titanate (PZT) actuators and sensors. Flexible intermediate links are modeled as Euler-Bernoulli beams with pinned-pinned boundary conditions. A PZT actuator controller is designed based on strain rate feed control (SRF). Control moments from PZT actuators are transformed to force vectors in modal space, and are incorporated in the dynamic model of the manipulator. The dynamic equations are developed based on the assumed mode method for the flexible parallel manipulator with multiple PZT actuator and sensor patches. Numerical simulation is performed and the results indicate that the proposed active vibration control strategy is effective. Frequency spectra analyses of structural vibrations further illustrate that deformations from structural vibration of flexible links are suppressed to a significant extent when the proposed vibration control strategy is employed, while the deflections caused by inertial and coupling forces are not reduced.

Reliability And Robustness

The modern engineering products must fulfill the increasing requirements to the vibroacoustical behavior of the components and the system. For many applications such as automotive engineering, where light-weight design is desired, passive measures for noise and vibration reduction have reached certain limits. For this reason, active techniques for structural vibration reduction are becoming increasingly important in this field of applications. Commonly, actively or adaptively controlled structural systems consist of a large number of components with various functionalities. As the complexity of the systems increases, reliability and robustness studies become a more complicated task. The knowledge of parameter effects and their interactions is important for the reliability study and the design optimization of such systems. Sensitivity analysis can help the system designers to understand interactions between the system components and identify the important parameters with significant overall influences on the system performance. In this paper, several approaches to sensitivity analysis are applied for a smart structure system with active vibration control. Through these analyses, the influences of the system parameters and control algorithms on the performance of active vibration reduction are investigated. An improvement of the robustness of the active system by using adaptive control will be shown.

High Possibility

In rolling processes, flexible steel sheet is supported by rollers and is bound to produce structural vibration. This vibration can cause severe problems to surface finish and affect the quality of the product. To overcome these problems, active vibration control has been proposed. This usually requires both sensors and actuators. The location of sensors and actuators plays a very important role in active vibration control. Moreover, a reliable sensor can be very expensive. This paper proposes a self-sensing vibration control using a push-pull type electromagnet to control the transverse vibration of the steel plate. The construction of the electromagnet has two types of coils, namely the bias coil and the control coil. Vibration displacement is estimated by using the mutual inductance change between the bias and the control coils. The estimated signal is proportional to the gap displacement. The proportional and derivative signals are fed back to the control coil to reduce the transverse vibration of the steel sheet. The proposed method is applied to a simple test rig to confirm the capability of the device. The results obtained are showing high possibility for reducing steel sheet vibration.

The paper addresses the practical implementation of active vibration control using self-sensing actuators, intending to equip smart structures. The control objective is to reduce the structural vibration of a simply-supported plate subject to time-harmonic excitation. The key challenge is to use a self-sensing actuator instead of a sensor-actuator pair to reject the primary disturbance at the control point. In this study, two types of self-sensing actuators designed from a PZT patch and an electrodynamic inertial exciter are discussed, and their overall performance is compared in terms of reduction of flexural energy and power consumption. Both technologies have proven to be efficient in achieving a time-harmonic vibration control and may be used alternately, depending on the application at hand.

Active Vibration

The article deals with the development of active vibration control of seismically-excited building structures. The control scheme is based on an alternative proportional-derived (PD) controller designed based only on the bandwidth of the system, which is an attractive technique for structural vibration suppression purposes and practical motion control solutions. The tuning method is analyzed employing Kharitonov’s theorem and Routh-Hurwitz criteria, which give necessary and sufficient conditions for choosing the two PD range of gains. Based on modal analysis, the system is transformed into a set of decoupled ordinary differential equations to simplify the PD design. An important advantage concerning a classical PD controller is the proposed PD design only uses the natural frequencies, which are relatively easy to estimates around an experimental test. Moreover, the proposed approach does not need frequently tune the gains parameters, so the design procedure is greatly simplified and, the proposed scheme does not need the system parameters, which generally are unknown. This method allows generalizing the controller design for multi-story buildings without modifying the controller structure, by choosing a scalar parameter. The effectiveness of the proposed PD schemes is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results of a reduced scale two-story building prototype.

Least Mean Square Algorithm

Smart structure vibration reduction based on adaptive active vibration control has become a hot research spot in recent years. A filtered-U least mean square algorithm based on an infinite impulse response filter structure is used to solve the interference of controller output to reference signal. The filtered-U least mean square algorithm is very suitable for the nonlinear vibration control of the flexible structure. This study focuses on the analysis and implementation of an adaptive active vibration control system for smart structure with a surface-bonded piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator contained in the secondary path has nonlinear hysteresis property. The nonlinear hysteresis property will cause a nonlinear relationship between the structural vibration response and the control voltage, which deteriorates the robustness and control effect of the adaptive control. This study designs an improved version of the filtered-U least mean square algorithm with online hysteresis identification and compensation (filtered-U least mean square–online hysteresis identification and compensation) based on a discrete Prandtl–Ishlinskii model. The Prandtl–Ishlinskii model parameters of the nonlinear hysteresis property are identified online based on the least mean square algorithm. Based on the identified Prandtl–Ishlinskii model parameters, an inverse hysteresis compensator is established for feedforward compensation in the secondary path. Simulation results show that the proposed method can dynamically compensate the hysteresis nonlinearity of the secondary path, linearizing the nonlinear hysteresis. The vibration reduction effect of the proposed method is obviously better than that of other competing methods. A piezoelectric smart cantilever plate with PZT (or lead zirconate titanate, Pb (Zr, Ti)) actuators and sensors is designed to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the proposed method by experiments. Experiment results demonstrate that the adverse effect of nonlinear hysteresis is eliminated well after feedforward hysteresis compensation is introduced; the unexpected frequency vibration caused by the hysteresis property is suppressed. The proposed methodology possesses an important advantage in application of the adaptive active vibration control of the piezoelectric smart structure.
