The speed-gradient algorithms for controlled passage through the resonance zone of the one-rotor vibration unit are studied by computer simulation. The objective of the study is to analyze dependence of the control performance on the loading mode and the electric drive dynamics. In order to obtain an algorithm better suitable for practical implementation the theoretically designed algorithm is simplified by simplifying the expression for the total energy. First of all, we neglect the terms corresponding to the kinetic and potential energy of the load, since there are no load mass sensors on the stand. the term containing the inclination angle of the platform is neglected. In addition, the platform inclination angle and dynamics of the drives were neglected too. Efficiency of the proposed simplified algorithm for different loading modes, including linear loading with different loading rates and sine-shaped oscillatory loading.
