This paper presents the concept of a new vibration control system in which motions of an Al-Fe alloy thin beam/plate with magnetized segments can be suppressed or activated through electromagnetic forces induced by an applied electric current. Analytical evaluation of the induced electromagnetic forces acting both on the electric current applied and on the magnetized segments are derived from an electromagnetic consideration. To examine the feasibility of the proposed vibration control system, we have formulated a simple regulator problem in which the disturbed motion of the thin alloy beam caused by an impulsive force is suppressed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
