Identification and frequency shaping control of a vibration isolation system

Abstract

In the present paper, a vibration isolation control problem is considered for the case in which forced vibration disturbances that have a narrow-band frequency component are applied to a system. Such a control problem appears in the vibration isolation control of a rotating machine. Velocity feedback control including notch-filters attenuates the effects of such narrow-band frequency disturbances, but parameter tuning of a controller is difficult because the vibration isolation performance changes dramatically according to slight discrepancies in the controller parameters. In such cases, a direct frequency shaping method such as the H ∞ control is suitable for the controller design. In the present paper, a vibration isolation control problem for a mechanical experimental system, which simulates the characteristics of a rotating machine in space, is considered. A system model was created by performing system identification experiments, and a controller was designed by a frequency shaping method based on the H ∞ control. Control experiments were carried out successfully, and the controller was verified to provide the expected performance.

Investigation of ARX model on partial input-output data in heating process

“…Among many linear models, ARX model has been found to be the simplest structure model, easy to find analytical solutions and provide excellent performance [2,6,7,[10][11][12][13]. The ARX model is widely applied and brings a lot of advantages to the research works.…”

An actively controlled harmonic force generator

“…The most practical application would be to deploy such a device in canceling the undesired vibrations on a structure under the influence of a harmonic excitation (Chida et al, 2008;Ostman & Toivonen, 2008). One can find a vast literature on the recent techniques in vibration cancellation using the similar idea (i.e., counter acting forces against the excitation), especially in the rotorcraft industry (Chen & Chopra, 1997;Cherednikov, 2001;Chopra, 2000;Crawley, 1994;Lee & YoungDon, 1993;To & Evins, 1991).…”

Handling the temperature effect in vibration monitoring of civil structures: A combined subspace-based and nuisance rejection approach

“…When processing vibration data (recorded with e.g. accelerometers), a major focus is on extracting modal parameters (modal frequencies, and associated damping values and mode-shapes) which characterize the dynamics of the structure (Chida et al, 2008). It has been widely acknowledged that changes in frequencies bear useful information for damage detection, and information on changes in mode-shapes is mandatory for performing damage localization.…”
