Abstract:This paper presents the numerical fuzzy control of an experimental active damper. The damper has two flexible metallic bellows connected to a rigid reservoir filled with fluid. When one of the bellows is connected to a vibrating structure, a periodic flow passes through a variable internal orifice and the damping effect is produced. The size of the orifice is adjusted by a control system that positions the conical core into a conical cavity. This paper presents the finite element model and an experimental redu… Show more
