Automotive Applications of Rapid Prototyping for Active Vibration Control

Automotive Applications of Active Vibration Control

“…Particularly, the noise, vibration and harshness characteristics of cars and trucks are becoming increasingly important (see, e.g., (Buchholz, 2000), (Capitani et al, 2000), (Debeaux et al, 2000), (Haverkamp, 2000), (Käsler, 2000), (Wolf & Portal, 2000), (Sano et al, 2002), (Mackay & Kenchington, 2004), (Elliott, 2008)). Research and development activities at ContiTech and the UniBwM have focused on the transmission of engine-induced vibrations through engine and powertrain mounts into the chassis , (Karkosch et al, 1999), (Bohn et al, 2000), (Svaricek et al, 2001), (Bohn et al, 2003), , , (Kowalczyk & Svaricek, 2005) (Kowalczyk et al, 2006), (Karkosch & Marienfeld, 2010). Engine and powertrain mounts are usually designed according to criteria that incorporate trade-offs between vibration isolation and engine movement since the mounting system in an automotive vehicle has to fulfil the following demands:…”

“…Various authors have addressed the application of ANC and AVC systems to reduce noise and vibrations in automotive applications (Adachi & Sano, 1996), (Adachi & Sano, 1998), (Ahmadian & Jeric, 1999), (Bao et al, 1991), , (Dehandschutter & Sas, 1998), (Fursdon et al, 2000), (Lecce et al, 1995), (Necati et al, 2000), (Pricken, 2000), (Riley & Bodie, 1996), (Sas & Dehandschutter, 1999), (Shoureshi et al, 1995), , (Shoureshi & Knurek, 1996), (Sano et al, 2002), (Swanson, 1993). ContiTech has implemented prototypes of AVC systems in various test vehicles and demonstrated that significant reductions in noise and vibration levels are achievable , (Karkosch et al, 1999), (Bohn et al, 2000), (Svaricek et al, 2001), (Bohn et al, 2003), , , (Kowalczyk & Svaricek, 2005) (Kowalczyk et al, 2006), (Karkosch & Marienfeld, 2010). Honda has developed a series-production ANC/AVC system to reduce noise and vibration due to cylinder cutoff in combination with the engine RPM as reference signal (Inoue et al, 2004), (Matsuoka et al, 2004).…”

On observer-based Active Vibration Control of two-inertia systems

“…AVC systems mostly use a sensor to measure the vibration of the system and dynamically apply a cancellation force in equal amount but opposite direction [2]. The idea of AVC is originated from active noise control (ANC) [5], and has been successfully implemented on various systems to attenuate the noise and vibration [6]- [7]. The downside of this approach is the addition of the vibration sensor to the system which increases the complexity and cost and decreases the reliability.…”
