Undesirable vibrations resulting from the use of vibrating hand-held tools decrease the tool performance and user productivity. In addition, prolonged exposure to the vibration can cause ergonomic injuries known as the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HVAS). Therefore, it is very important to design a vibration suppression mechanism that can isolate or suppress the vibration transmission to the users’ hands to protect them from HAVS. While viscoelastic materials in anti-vibration gloves are used as the passive control approach, an active vibration control has shown to be more effective but requires the use of sensors, actuators and controllers. In this paper, the design of a controller for an anti-vibration glove is presented. The aim is to keep the level of vibrations transferred from the tool to the hands within a healthy zone. The paper also describes the formulation of the hand-glove system’s mathematical model and the design of a fuzzy parallel distributed compensation (PDC) controller that can cater for different hand masses. The performances of the proposed controller are evaluated through simulations and the results are benchmarked with two other active vibration control techniques-proportional integral derivative (PID) controller and active force controller (AFC). The simulation results show a superior performance of the proposed controller over the benchmark controllers. The designed PDC controller is able to suppress the vibration transferred to the user’s hand 93% and 85% better than the PID controller and the AFC, respectively.

In adaptive control applications for noise and vibration, finite ımpulse response (FIR) or ınfinite ımpulse response (IIR) filter structures are used for online adaptation of the controller parameters. IIR filters offer the advantage of representing dynamics of the controller with smaller number of filter parameters than with FIR filters. However, the possibility of instability and convergence to suboptimal solutions are the main drawbacks of such controllers. An IIR filtering-based Steiglitz–McBride (SM) algorithm offers nearly-optimal solutions. However, real-time implementation of the SM algorithm has never been explored and application of the algorithm is limited to numerical studies for active vibration control. Furthermore, the prefiltering procedure of the SM increases the computational complexity of the algorithm in comparison to other IIR filtering-based algorithms. Based on the lack of studies about the SM in the literature, an SM time-domain algorithm for AVC was implemented both numerically and experimentally in this study. A methodology that integrates frequency domain IIR filtering techniques with the classic SM time-domain algorithm is proposed to decrease the computational complexity. Results of the proposed approach are compared with the classical SM algorithm. Both SM and the proposed approach offer multimodal vibration suppression and it is possible to predict the performance of the controller via simulations. The proposed hybrid approach ensures similar vibration suppression performance compared to the classical SM and offers computational advantage as the number of control filter parameters increases.

Satellites are subject to various severe vibration during different phases of flight. The concept of satellite smart adapter is proposed in this study to achieve active vibration control of launch vehicle on satellite. The satellite smart adapter has 18 active struts in which the middle section of each strut is made of piezoelectric stack actuator. Comprehensive conceptual design of the satellite smart adapter is presented to indicate the design parameters, requirements and philosophy applied which are based on the reliability and durability criterions to ensure successful functionality of the proposed system. The coupled electromechanical virtual work equation for the piezoelectric stack actuator in each active strut is drived by applying D'Alembert's principle. Modal analysis is performed to characterize the inherent properties of the smart adapter and extraction of a mathematical model of the system. Active vibration control analysis was conducted using fuzzy logic control with triangular membership functions and acceleration feedback. The control results conclude that the proposed satellite smart adapter configuration which benefits from piezoelectric stack actuator as elements of its 18 active struts has high strength and shows excellent robustness and effectiveness in vibration suppression of launch vehicle on satellite.

The objective of this work was to suppress the vibration of flexible structures by using a distributed cooperative control scheme with decentralized sensors and actuators. For the application of the distributed cooperative control strategy, we first propose the multiple autonomous substructure models for flexible structures. Each autonomous substructure is equipped with its own sensor, actuator, and controller, and they all have computation and communication capabilities. The primary focus of this investigation was to illustrate the use of a distributed cooperative protocol to enable vibration control. Based on the proposed models, we design two novel active vibration control strategies, both of which are implemented in a distributed manner under a communication network. The distributed controllers can effectively suppress the vibration of flexible structures, and a certain degree of interaction cooperation will improve the performance of the vibration suppression. The stability of flexible systems is analyzed by the Lyapunov theory. Finally, numerical examples of a cantilever beam structure demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Active vibration control is presented as an effective technique used for vibration suppression and for attenuating bad effects of disturbances on structure. In this work Proportional-Integral-Derivative control were employed to study suppression of active vibration wing affected by wind airflow. Two different composite wings with different manufacturing materials had been made with specific size to be suitable for using in wind tunnel. Piezoelectric (PZT (transducers are used as sensors and actuators in vibration control systems. The velocity was 25 m/s and three different attack angles (0, 10, 20 degrees) had been taken to show their effect on the wings vibrations suppression. The results shows that the suppression of the wing amplitude is reduced when the attack angle increases for both woven and random composite wing matt and this happened due to the vortex which became more violent at the increase of attack angle and also due to the area that face the wind which will increase when the attack angle increase and this will reduces the suppression. The maximum control amplitude of woven Glass-fiber matt was 1.75cm and the damping was about 38 % at zero attack angle while it was 2cm and the damping was about 26 % at 20 degree attack angle for random Glass-fiber composite matt

Abstract This paper presents some of the key results obtained in an investigation comparing the performance of the Vibration Control by Confinement technique with conventional vibration control methods using isolators, absorbers, and layer damping in their passive and/or active form. All four vibration suppression methods are applied to a system comprised of an elastic component resting on an elastic beam-type supporting structure. The finite element method is employed to model the system and generate the numerical results presented in this article. The system is subjected to a single harmonic disturbance applied directly to the beam. Kinematics variables are determined at the component and its interface with the supporting structure. Based on the results obtained via the FEM model, it is shown that the Vibration Control by Confinement technique outperforms, by a significant performance level, the conventional suppression methods studied in this project. Furthermore, it is concluded that the Vibration Control by Confinement technique is an effective and viable approach that not only has better performance, but has fewer limitations than current techniques. Furthermore, additional ramifications of the Vibration Control by Confinement approach as they apply to active vibration control systems are discussed.
