Active vibration control of composite structures
The vibration control of composite beams and plates subjected to a travelling load is studied in this dissertation. By comparing the controlled as well as uncontrolled responses of classical and refined structural models, the influence of several important composite structure properties which are …

Optimal actuation in active vibration control using pole-placement
… of optimal actuation in a mechanical system to control its vibration response. The overall aim is to develop an active vibration control method with a minimum control effort, allowing the smallest actuators and lowest control input. Mechanical systems were approximated by discrete masses …

Study of Active Vibration Control using the Method of Receptances
… rod. Using the sensor data, closed loop feedback control gains can be calculated by solving a simple set of linear equations. The feedback gains can be applied to generate the required control force using an actuator. This partial pole assignment can be done without continuous or discrete …

Vibration Attenuation of Composite Moving Beams using Active Vibration Control Techniques
… studies have shown that the amplitude of lateral vibration of moving beams is 40 percent higher than that of non moving beams. In this research a numerical model based on the finite element method is done to reduce the excess vibrations caused by the axial oscillation of the beam. A computer code …

Wideband Active Vibration Control Synthesis and Implementation on Uncertain Resonant Structures
… they also incur significant challenges to control vibration. The construction that makes them strong, light, and ``rigid'' also makes them have very small inherent structural damping, and highly-complex modal structure. A myriad of control techniques have been developed to work on this …

A dual reaction-mass dynamic vibration absorber for active vibration control
Traditional dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) consist of a mass-spring-damper system and are an effective means of attenuating structural vibration over a narrow frequency band. The effective bandwidth of the DVA can be increased by the addition of an externally controlled force, generally applied …

Sensitivity of active vibration control to structural changes and model reduction
… is concerned with by two types of sensitivity of active vibration control of large space structures (LSS). The first one required for assessing robustness, is the sensitivity of the performance and stability of the control system to changes in structure and to model reduction. The second type is …

Active vibration control for a free piston stirling engine with linear alternator FPSE/LA
… engine suffers from continuous self-induced vibrations caused by the reciprocating motion of a permanent magnet attached to its piston inside a linear alternator. Currently, the damping of the vibrations in the FPSA/LA is achieved by employing a passive tuned mass damper (TMD) tuned to damp …

A study of active control techniques for noise reduction in an aircraft fuselage model
… used to investigate the elementary mechanisms of control of sound transmission into aircraft cabins by two active control techniques: propeller synchrophasing and active vibration control. Propeller synchrophasing involves controlling the relative rotational phase of the engines to achieve maximum …

Modeling and robust adaptive control of metal cutting via application of piezoactuator
Self-excited vibration, so called chatter, is known to cause detrimental effects on the machined surface finish and to decrease the machining efficiency. Because of the small amplitude, high frequency properties of chatter, it requires active vibration control providing a force to the cutting …
