Analytical research on a single degree-of-freedom semi-active oscillator with time delay

Abstract

In this paper a single degree-of-freedom semi-active oscillator with time delay is researched. By averaging method, the first-order approximately analytical solution is obtained, and the stability condition is also established based on the Lyapunov theory. The analytical results show that the amplitude and the stability condition of the steady-state solution are all periodic functions of time delay, with the same period as the excitation one. Moreover, another simple case, namely the semi-active oscillator without time delay, is also investigated based on the first-order approximately analytical solution, and the result shows that the steady-state solution in this case is unconditionally stable. The comparisons of the analytical solution and the numerical one are fulfilled, and the results verify the correctness and satisfactory precision of the first-order approximately analytical solution. At last, the selection or design of an appropriate time delay to improve control performance through the first-order approximately analytical solution is studied.

Dynamical Analysis on Single Degree-of-Freedom Semiactive Control System by Using Fractional-Order Derivative

“…Eslaminasab et al [10] adopted averaging method to provide an analytical platform for analyzing the performance of relative control method. Shen et al [11][12][13] studied the approximately analytical solutions and parameters optimization of four semiactive on-off dynamic vibration absorbers and researched a single degreeof-freedom semiactive oscillator with time delay.…”

Seismic motion control of structures using an adaptive optimal model-free controller

“…In recent decades, the vibration control strategy has been an efficient and a safe approach to protect civil structures against strong environmental excitations (Amini and Karami, 2011). Important challenges in this research area, which have been studied a lot in the literature, include the unpredictability of inputs (for instance, earthquake and wind), difficulty and complexity of the real-time measurement of input excitations (Yu et al, 2015), the limitation of sensor numbers to identify the system (Abazarsa et al, 2013;Amini and Karami, 2012;Mesquita et al, 2016;Nagarajaiah and Erazo, 2016;Yang and Nagarajaiah, 2013;Yao et al, 2018), the uncertainty in system information (Amini et al, 2017;Giaralis and Taflanidis, 2018;Huo et al, 2016;Nguyen et al, 2018), the computation time required in controllers (Gutierrez Soto and Adeli, 2017), and the time delay in generating forces by control devices (Chae et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2017;Morales-Beltran and Paul, 2015;Shao and Chen, 2013;Shen et al, 2013;Spencer and Nagarajaiah, 2003;Khoshbin et al, 2018). Moving to create a smart structure is developing at a rapid pace due to the evolution of smart devices, actuators, control strategies, novel designs, and calculation tools.…”

Adaptive control of a nonlinear suspension with time-delay compensation

“…Much research has been conducted on the time-delay problem in system control processes. Examples include the semi-active control of single-DOF oscillators [1], the tracking control of reference models [2], the stability analysis of systems with time-delay effect [3], and the reduction of time-delay through improved hardware processing [4]. The time-delay of any given system consists of both variable delay and fixed delay.…”
