Active engine mounts significantly contribute to ensure the comfort in vehicles with emission-reducing engine technologies, e.g., cylinder-on-demand (COD), downsizing or turbochargers. To control active engine mounts, either adaptive or non-adaptive feedforward control is commonly employed. Since both approaches have previously been treated separately, this study proposes methods to connect them in terms of multiple-input-multiple-output Newton/FxLMS adaptive filters with self-trained, grid-based look-up tables. The look-up tables are incorporated as parameter-maps or parallel-maps, respectively. By combining the two feedforward control strategies, their inherent advantages, i.e., the adaptivity of adaptive filtering and the direct impact as well as the tracking behavior of map-based feedforward control, are utilized. The proposed control structures are illustrated by simulation and experimentally demonstrated in a vehicle with a V8-COD engine. While both methods significantly reduce the convergence time of the adaptive filter, the parallel implementation additionally improves the tracking behavior during fast engine run-ups.
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.
